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 Kingdomcommunication. I expect to be asked if I want to make a dinner reservation, not having to ask myself and then having to ask where the restaurant was. There was no information about breakfast times, I had to look on the website to find out. I asked if they could refreeze some cooler blocks as my Granddaughter had medication that needed to be kept cool. I was told no they couldn't but I could have a bucket off ice, not a lot of help when I needed to take the medicine out with me during the day. My solution was to ask for my water bottle to be filled with ice, to put in the cool bag during the day. It took the waitress, in the evening, 10 minutes to realise my Granddaughter was a child and I may want the childrens menu. I asked for the allergy book to check the food that my Granddaughter could eat but it wasn't up to date and contained dishes that weren't even on the menu. Although stated on the website, there wasn't a hairdryer in the room.
The quiet location. Bedroom layout. Breakfast choice. After a call to the hotel, they provided the milk my Granddaughter needs.

United KingdomMain problem was that we were very cold in the room. Heating was turned off in the room and I struggled to sleep. There was an extra blanket which we used. I did however realise the next morning that there was a heater in the room so partly our fault for not using it. Wouldn't let this put me off staying again.
Lovely location and beautiful building. Breakfast was great and staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful gardens.

United KingdomSome small niggles with room already reported to staff (TV and shower). Did not find a dog bin!
Position/ Situation. Very friendly and hardworking staff. Attitude to dogs is positive (although a £20 nightly charge for a continuous stay is slightly excessive - compare Travelodge at £20 per stay.) Large, comfortable bar.

United KingdomBalcony railings covered in cobwebs - room was really ckean, but think the balcony had not been touched for weeks. . No hair dryer in the drawer, but clearly someone had pinched it as the end bit was still there! Didn't matter to us as I always take my own. Bar nice but was really quiet, (no atmosphere). Charged separately for both dogs (2 × £20 = £40 for one night). Don't see why we had to pay double when they were both staying in the same room as ourselves, so any extra cleaning that the hotel felt they needed to plan for would not be doubled. Other places we've stayed just charge a single amount whether you have one or two pets with you.
Dog friendly room - reasonable price - nicely furnished and it had a balcony overlooking a large pond with lily pads and fish. Would be great venue for weddings.

United KingdomThe lift wasn't working and access tyo the room through fire doors was cumbersome. Dinner in the bar was ok but overpriced for what it was. I have stayed in the past when the food has been better.
The setting near the Wrekin is lovely and it was great that on this occasion the hotel was not full of a coach party

United KingdomBroken bin in the bathroom. Stray short head hair (not mine) on the rim of the bath & another on a wall tile. Fire alarm went off at 1am & again at 1.20am. Not a great night's sleep as a result.
Quiet location. Good size room. Comfy bed. Balcony overlooking the garden area. Large fluffy white bath towel. Ate in the bar in the evening (additional cost). Tasty food. Lovely breakfast too (included in the room rate).

United KingdomAsk for ground floor rooms but were put on 1st floor, lift broke down 4 times, once when were in the lift! Had problems with 1 room key opening the door, key never worked first time - was changed twice. No disabled facilities/showers.
Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Staff moved us swiftly and easily to ground floor rooms after lift breakdown. Ground floor rooms had lovely view onto pond - happily watched ducks swimming about. Breakfast very good, plenty of choice.

JerseyThe shower head was not great to manage, it is one of those that is supposed to sit on the side of a bath to rinse, no t a main shower head. The hotel decor was very tired and dated. There was a constant running water noise close to our room from inside the hotel. The mattress on the single bed in the room was really hard and uncomfortable. The lady in the breakfast room was abrupt, rude and loud, quite discourteous and the breakfast selection was substandard and inadequate.
The hotel location is stunning and we had a lakeside view. The reception staff were very kind and well mannered. The room was a good size and had coffee making facitilities and TV
