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.).

AustraliaI had trouble understanding the staff about when dinner was available. I stayed over the end of May bank holiday weekend (Sat-Wed). The only night the restaurant was open while I was there was the Tuesday, but I decided to go elsewhere. (I thought the Crown’s own website said 7/7 restaurant service.)
The hotel is really nice situated in the middle of Brackley, not far from bus services to Banbury and Bicester. The room I stayed in had a lot of character and was very comfortable, and the little refreshments on arrival were very considerate. Housekeeping very good.

United KingdomIt needs to be updated. It was fine for what we needed it for, but some parking for the hotel would be great and cleaner rooms..better decor could make this hotel more desirable x

United KingdomBad plumbing in our room. Sink Taps make a horrendous vibrating noise when you use the shower or toilet. Only resolved my opening the tap and closing again which is difficult when you are in the shower. Shower always running hot with no control and very weak flow. Needs a plumber asap. Could not let staff know because we checked out 7:30 and no staff were present.
Great location. Great price

United KingdomJust a few things to fix (doesn't feel like it would be too hard to improve) - curtains too small for the windows, so don't begin to block out the light, all the doors slam aggressively, the mattress sloped into the middle of the bed, paper thin walls.
It's reasonably inexpensive, central location, a nice building with all amenities that you'd want

United KingdomRoom tiny! Given a room in The Coach House in a courtyard outside of the hotel building. Room width is width of the double bed plus 2 bedside tables, each squashed between the side walls and the bed. Length is length of the bed plus 1 metre. No other furniture: no seats, no desk/table, no hairdryer and nowhere to put the dog's bed due to lack of floor space. Hotel, itself, dowdy and unwelcoming and hugely outdated. Appears not to have been redecorated since the 1970s.
