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 KingdomWas sent to the wrong block at first, but the receptionist was new, we all have to start somewhere. The bar area was ok. Food was overpriced. Was told to sit at a table and someone would come to get our order, had to order from the bar.
The place was amazing room was excellent could not fault the stay. The leisure facilities was next to none.

United KingdomAs the hotel is family friendly it was a little too noisy to relax around the pool. If I was booking specifically for a spa break I wouldn’t come back for this reason. There were also children in the sauna and steam rooms which is against the rules but no staff in the pool area to monitor this. Food was nice in restaurant but a little too expensive.
Hotel was beautiful and rooms were comfortable. Good location. Swimming pool was nice and temperature was warm enough to sit on subbed even when wet. Bar area was comfortable.

United KingdomThe room decor was a bit tired. There weren’t many walks that did not encroach on the golf course. The room arrangement is not advertised- we would like to choose a specific room.
The food was lovely and the spa first class.

United KingdomThe bed was so uncomfortable, even the first room which had a mattress topper you could feel the springs. The second room didn't and you could feel every spring. Also the pillows are just horrible. One of the worst night sleeps I've had from a hotel
The staff are friendly and very helpful. Our first room smelt of fag smoke but because the cleaners went home we got upgraded. Nice pool and facilities, great food from the bar menu. I didn't have anything from the main restaurant menu and the breakfast buffet was good.

United KingdomThe only thing that we didn’t like was the hotel being very very warm. I noticed the radiators all on full blast but we did have a window in our room for some fresh air.
Beautiful property, very clean. I was very impressed with breakfast. I find buffet breakfast can often fall short, but breakfast was fantastic. Staff very friendly especially Kristie at breakfast who took the time to speak to us and my baby. Very close to Norwich and broads.

United KingdomRoom might not have been used for a while as it could have done with being aired. Hotel is actually huge and weirdly the lift signs don't match the floor numbers so everyone keeps getting lost!
Great location close to pretty Norwich. Lots to do. Beautiful main building, lovely bar area where we ate an early evening meal, super breakfast, good sized room, no noise despite large wedding in another area, nice view over the golf course. Great gym and pool, plus lovely spa. Staff were helpful. EV chargers available. Definitely recommend.

United KingdomThis is a large sprawling hotel across many floors, corridors and heavy doors (fire doors for good reason!). The signposting could be a little better. Several of our guests experienced rooms which were very warm and the Air Conditioning was not up to spec to make the climate comfortable. A number of the rooms our group had wonky toilet seats! Maybe a little maintenance would be in order. But in reality, this is a four star hotel (as advertised), not a five star so no great dramas and if anything the approach taken by all staff counters any thoughts of negativity as your leave the hotel after your stay!
The staff are the greatest asset with everyone that we encountered during our stay going the extra mile to make our group comfortable and welcome. Evening dinner (and our waitress who was on her first evening shift) was really good. Breakfast was really enjoyable and had something for everyone. The spa area is a great bonus and Parking was plentiful and free.

United KingdomWe ordered a burger for our 13 year old son and we had to check it was not a childs serving as it was tiny. Just a small portion of chips and a pot of coleslaw on the side, but the patty itself was small and only had a bit of lettuce and tomato. Not what you expect for 16 plus pounds. It went down in seconds and he ended up eating half half my pizza as well! Pizza was nice though. Room was great but we had no AC and although we had window open it was still very warm. maybe it was because there was 4 of us and the dog.
Beautiful building and lcoation - It was a great experience waking up and not hearing traffic or outside noise - apart from birds singing and wind in the trees! Lovely breakfast and amazing staff.

United KingdomOnly minor gripe was that we could not watch the football as Bunkers bar was closing at 9pm, but this may well be its normal closing.
We opted to return for a night having previously visited in February 24. We had another great stay and enjoyed the grounds, the room, the pool, and breakfast as much as our previous visit.

United KingdomSome features of the room were dated or in need of attention such as a toilet roll holder that wasn't properly secured to the wall, limescale around the bathroom tap and mould around the plug in the sink. Hotel staff were happy to come in to address these issues but, ideally, we'd have preferred they were addressed before our stay. Also, while we enjoyed being able to use the pool and hot tub during our stay, they were both a bit cooler than we'd expected.
Breakfast served in lovely dining room with view of the grounds. Good selection of breakfast items. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Front desk staff were efficient and very friendly. Even our dog was made to feel welcome! The grounds of the hotel are lovely and we appreciated being able to explore them with our dog.
