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 bath mat towel had seen better days/ was chewed up on the edge by the washing machine. I also couldn’t find the switch for my kettle in the morning, but I’d blame this on me being tired, rather than anything being faulty. Thanks to the owner clearing this up at breakfast. However, all the above are minor points all things considered.
I stayed on the penultimate day of a charity walk along the Grand Union Canal. At first, I was a bit worried about Boxmoor Lodge only operating as a B&B, but was put at ease by the comprehensive guest info and the friendly voice on the home for my remote check in. The facilities were great (especially the bathroom, I needed a good soak after a 25 mile walk!) and the staff and ambience at breakfast were lovely the next day. While continental is the ‘included’ offering (cooked breakfast is available at extra cost), the range on offer is extensive :-) The proximity to Hemel Hempstead station helped my resume my travels to Kings Langley the next day without too much rush.

United KingdomOccasionally, there was noise from the main road, but nothing that disturbed our sleep or our stay. The entrance to the hotel is right on a corner, so, at times, needs careful negotiation, but we didn't have a problem. You are running a great place. Keep it up!
This lovely hotel is beautifully set out, and the rooms are well decorated and very comfortable. We travelled with family, including two grown-up daughters and an elderly aunt. All were happy with their surroundings and the breakfast provided, as well as the service from staff.

United KingdomThere was no aircon, although a fan was provided, and no fridge. It wouldn’t have mattered so much if we hadn’t been staying on one of the hottest weekends of the year.
The breakfast was fantastic, one of the best I’ve ever had. It was beautifully cooked and very hot when served. The lady that waited on us was really lovely & welcoming. The room was spotlessly clean and had a brand new bathroom. The rooms all have their own entrance around a central courtyard with lovely flower beds and hanging baskets.

United KingdomThe decor is a little dated but serviceable.
We were staying for one night and found the property was comfortable and clean. We had a good breakfast on the morning of departure and check-in and out was easy. The property is close to the canal which meant there was access to plenty of walks. We found the property to be quiet at night.
