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 KingdomRoom felt too hot in night due to radiators really hot. Couldn't turn down.
Lovely setting for our stay. Comfy beds. Nice big room. Maybe could do with a fresh update on decor in bathroom. Outside door to room a little worse for wear too. Would stay again.

United KingdomThere was a damp/damaged patch of wall in the bathroom that could have done with repair, it was unsightly but didn’t really affect our stay. The bathroom was a little cramped the door just missing the we pan when opened.
Breakfast was excellent with very friendly service. Comfy bed and very quiet location. Location very handy for our weekend at the Historic Festival at Donington Park.

United KingdomI think the whole inside just needs a bit of TLC. Signs of wear and tear. Just needs a good paint job and general overhaul and it would be so better. But please leave the old look not make it trendy. Gents Toilets defiantly need a good overhaul. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
Staff very friendly. Food very good. Chef was ill Monday morning so no cooked breakfast but was offered a free continental breakfast instead which was very good and much appreciated. Room was clean comfy bed bathroom needs upgrading but I can understand its a old building. Good selection of beers and well priced.

United KingdomSometimes and not all the tune, the food was warm or cool.. We don't like to complain and we didn't wish to spoil our break.. our room in the bathroom needed a bit of TlC. Dirty splash marks behind the bathroom door. You can see this when sitting on the toilet and also the paint and plaster is falling off the wall. Bit apart from that all good 👍 ps I believe the crewe & harpur maybe be having refurb soon( grapevine is wonderful)
The staff were exceptional.. I can't fault their willing to help, care, or offer their assistance. Nothing was a trouble foe then

United KingdomROOM 6: Some paint crumbling off wall. We struggled with the bathroom and entering and exiting the shower as it was a small cubicle shower. DINNER: Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad Bowl - expected chicken and bacon to be hot but served cold, not a lot of dressing or cheese shavings so tasted quite dry and bland. Sweet Potato Fries were ordered on the side but did not turn up and staff were not on hand to ask for them. Menu stated a raspberry coulis with the brownie but it was served with mixed berries - I don't mind changes if I am informed at time of ordering that change has been made. BREAKFAST: Had to ask at end of breakfast for our pain au chocolate as they had been forgotten.
ROOM 6: Was a good size and comfortable DINNER: Well presented, good quality food. BREAKFAST: Well presented and cooked fresh to order.

United KingdomThis visit we had a twin room which was also set up for wheelchair use. A very large bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom was ok but the bathroom needed some TLC. It was very cold with the only heating being a small towel rail in a very large room and the wash basin was not even big enough to wash your hands. Shower was good.
Friendly staff and as this was not our first visit we were remembered. Location and layout of attached pub great for getting together with friends and having a catch up, no-one disturbed us.
