Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe room was large but the tv in there was the size of an iPhone three couldn't even see it from the bed. The pillows were like two a4 sheets of paper did not sleep very well at all during my two night stay. The spa is an extra cost of £20 per visit I didn't mind but maybe it should be £20 extra and you get to have a session for the duration of your stay ? Place was a bit dated.
Spa was great. Great scenery and the hotel although a bit dated has a lovely countryside vibe to it. Very relaxing and the surrounding grounds and location are class.

United KingdomRoom could have done with updating. Bathroom door was in a bad state of repair and had damage due to damp/moisture ingress. Had to pay extra for use of leisure facilities although wasn’t advised of this at time of booking. Had to pay extra for full English breakfast. On a positive, lovely views over lake.
Staff were lovely and very professional.

United KingdomIt was too expensive. We paid around £25 for 2 spirits and a mixer, single or double, that’s a lot. The treatments at the spa were fully booked. We paid £20 for the spa itself which was good value for money but there were too many people in order fit comfortably in the saunas or steam rooms. There were no lifts available from the bottom set of rooms to the main lobby, definitely not wheelchair friendly, I’m asthmatic so had to stop after each of the 3 stair cases. You cannot walk into town from the hotel so either you have to drive or wait a while for a taxi, so book taxis in advance!
The hotel decorated our room for my partners birthday which was a lovely touch! There was a spa in the hotel and overall it was a nice place to stay. Our room was right next to the lake which was beautiful if the whether had held out for it.

United KingdomThe hottubs were above our room so noisy from 8am-8pm. Massive gap under room door and light shing in through the night. £20 per person for 2 hours for pool and sauna. I cancelled our spa the night before then tried to charge me for it. Dusty room and hairs on bed.

United KingdomThe room was less than basic and really small, also no full length mirror in there, if you wanted to see a reflection of yourself you’d have to use the mirror hanging over the desk which was covered by the desk chair, only problem is that to move the desk chair you’d either have to trap yourself in the corner of the room or rearrange the furniture. Definitely not worth the money. Breakfast is described as “extensive”; however there’s nothing extensive about it: two cheeses, two cured meats, 4 types of cereals in jars with no spoon to get them out, a couple of pastries and some bread.
Wonderful position Clean The Spa is very nice and relaxing

United KingdomDisingenuine marketing. Marketed as breakfast included, but was no mention of this being only continental, with extra charge for hot breakfast! Same with the spa, we were surprised that it was charged at £20pp per day. Wish the hotel had a gym too.
The location was fantastic. Beautiful views from the balcony and spa area. Spa is really modern and of high quality. Room size was very good (Stayed in a Lake View Double).
