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.).

I have to say the food, breakfast and dinner were as good as i have ever had and they gave you plenty of it, the deserts were also very good and a nice helping as well, all the breakfast you could eat and for some too much, all in all i would have no problem going back to this hotel.

United KingdomThe heating was on when I arrived which made it a bit toasty, but the staff told me how to turn it off which I did. A room fridge for meds / dog food would have been super helpful
A stunning location with gorgeous views, accessible and really close to main roads. Gorgeous grounds, even spotted a peacock strutting across the front lawn! The staff were so kind and super accommodating. They had a specific dining room I could take me dog in, and specific rooms I could book and bring my dog to. The staff were really helpful, the food was lovely, and it was a shame I had to rush off and leave half of my wonderful breakfast behind! Highly recommend!

United KingdomThe room was very small. The bathroom also. Like so many hotels we visit, there's rarely enough shelf space for toiletries. This is a major, major criticism. The shower was really too small, with little room to move around AND absolutely nowhere to put one's toiletries. The web-site showed photos of bigger rooms with views across the landscape. Ours was attic-like with a restricted view of a cornfield!!
The lounge - it rained one day but we were able to make ourselves comfortable in there with puzzle-books etc. Acceptable choice of dishes for evening meal. Well-stocked bar. Good breakfast.

A nice family run country house hotel. Friendly staff. Dinner & breakfast was good, very plentiful & good value. While dog friendly, they were segregated in a separate dinning room - an excellent idea. Good size comfortable room.

United KingdomBeautiful building in a lovely quiet area with beautiful views, peacocks on the lawn, plenty of parking. The food was excellent home cooked and plenty of it, the girls we had waitressing on us on the two different nights were so friendly and helpful we believe they were sisters both a credit to the hotel. We would definitely stay again when in that part of the country.

United KingdomThis lovely hotel could only be improved with a bit of redecoration. It's looking a little tired, but functions well and is in a fabulous location.
Broughton Craggs is a lovely family run hotel which is perhaps in need of a little updating. We love to support the independents when we can. Everything here was comfortable, clean, and the staff were very helpful. We had a spacious, quiet room with fabulous views and generous supplies of tea/coffee/biscuits. The breakfasts were great - plenty to eat and served very hot. The location worked well for us and we enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomTo be honest, there was nothing to dislike. We did have drinks at the bar and in our opinion the beers are exceptionally well kept and all at reasonable cost. A lovely open fire in the comfortable lounge. How can you complain.
A lovely welcome, excellent food, more than generous helpings at a very reasonable price. All cooked very well and served with a warm and friendly atmosphere.
