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 hot water wasn't hot enough for me.-.bath only running the hot was an insufficient temperature to my liking - fine for my daughter though! Noise from air in pipes woke me when a fellow guest flushed the loo at 3am! The postcode given did not take one to the right entrance. Arriving in the dark, this complicated things. It is the first right after a pub..
The location obviously is outstanding. It was an absolute pleasure to wake up, see the view and then see the castle for the first time at breakfast..The breakfast, not only has the most amazing castle view, but was delicious! I ordered Eggs Royale - my favorite! That it includes entry to the castle makes the stay good value. In winter however the falconry display is only at weekends and school holidays, so we want to go back!

United StatesWhat a lovely property set on the beautiful grounds of Leeds Castle! Our room was in the smaller side for two people or I’d rate the facilities a “ten.” Very clean, very nice breakfast and delightful delightful staff!! Sadly, our flight for London left too early for us to walk through the castle. I’d definitely recommend and stay at this lovely place again. Don’t miss walking though the garden!

United KingdomPrice includes access to all areas at night and during visitors hours. Full guided tours of the castle. The staff are amazing-I’ve never seen so many people living their jobs including people you wouldn’t normally talk to or come in to contact with such as security staff, grounds staff and shop staff.

AustraliaIt was a little bit of a climb to the top floor with our heavy suitcases, but the charm of the place made up for the heavy lift.
An incredible location on the heart of Leeds castle grounds. It felt magical to arrive to the property. The view of the castle and grounds as you arrive is breathtaking. The rooms are super quaint and have all you require for your stay. the staff were really lovely and helpful and you have a tour of the castle included in your stay. This is very well worth doing. We loved exploring the grounds and the castle rich with history. Breakfast was really generous and the views the the castle from the main restaurant are simply spectacular.

United KingdomThe lighting in the courtyard at night which was addressed by us moving to the Tower.
The setting of the castle and grounds makes for a beautiful location. We transferred to the Maidens Tower from the Stable Courtyard as we found the lighting surrounding the room too bright at night as we live in a village with no street lighting. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was good and we ate in the restaurant one evening which was very good but a little pricey on the wine. We used the castle as a base for visiting a number of other places in Kent and East Sussex and found it a good location for this.

United KingdomThe shower was good but tended to vary, going cold then hot, occasionally. I’m not sure if that was because we were in an attic room?
It was very quirky and felt part of the Castle. There was a lot of work to make all parts of the surroundings beautiful and interesting. A very enjoyable stay.
