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 Kingdomeverything was pretty great except (and it's quite minor)Pool could have been slightly bigger - there were two people already in it doing lengths - and there was barely room for me to do them as well.
Spa was fabulous - loved that you could order drinks whilst in the outdoor jacuzzi. Also a good variety of different types of saunas (about 4 I think?) Staff were all really friendly. Greeted with a glass of bubbles on arrival. beautiful building and grounds. Amazing breakfast. Had a brilliant stay overall and will definitely visit again.

United KingdomWhen we were there, the hotel had a problem with hot water in the spa facilities, which wasn't great, meaning several features were out of order. My biggest issue with the hotel is the fact that they didn't really pick up the phone from guest rooms. Reception is busy I get that, but there's no excuse for other departments, (eg room service) not answering straight away. On multiple occassions over multiple days I had to wait more that 5 minutes for any calls to be answered. Another small gripe is the tea in the room. If you offer the guest 5 types of tea to choose from (and there's no need to offer so many infusions) that means they only actually have one tea bag to make normal tea between two people from evening to morning. Common sense says that's silly. Two regular teabags would be the minimum, four to be safe overnight, and these should be topped up by room service morning and evening. Guests shouldn't have to chase tea bags for days.
The property is beautiful and has a very relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are fabulous and get the balance of modern facilities, relaxation and vintage property just right. The food is better even than one would expect and does deserve a call out in its own right. Little things like the coffee at breakfast that people might not notice are good, even room service pizza is excellent. Full marks to the food side.

United KingdomWe were a bit disappointed with the food from the bar area. First time we’ve ordered the gnocchi and it was really salty. During the second time, we order a pizza (it was ok) and a burger (this one I’d recommend). The service was great though!
Best thing about our stay was definitely the staff! They were really helpful and sympathetic. We were treated really really well - above average. It made us feel really welcomed. The room was fantastic- very clean and spacious. The Cedar restaurant is amazing! The food and the service exceeded our expectations.The spa area is perfect - really clean, modern and spacious.

United StatesWe understand that the property is a Listed Building, which posed restrictions on alterations, but there is no lift (elevator) and we were staying on the third floor with quite a lot of heavy bags. We were given help with our bags, but the stairs were very narrow. We were staying during unusually hot weather and our room did not have air conditioning. Two fans were provided, which gave some mild relief, but the heat really detracted from the enjoyment of our stay. We learned later that other rooms in another part of the hotel did have air conditioning, but this was not pointed out to us at check in, so make sure to ask before booking if you care about room temperature. To be fair England rarely has weather hot enough to make air conditioning necessary, but unfortunately it was last week.
Peaceful location with good facilities. All staff were excellent and extremely polite.

United KingdomThere was no elevator to take us upstairs to our room, but there may have been one.
We arrived slightly early having travelled some 500km to get to the hotel, we were checked in early and the staff were fantastic. We decided to change to a room in the new building, very modern. The restaurant serves amazing food, and if you want a taster a la darte menu this is possible, along with afternoon teas. There is plenty of parking outside.

The afternoon tea was fabulous with warm scones sandwiches and cake with a stunning backdrop. The staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for you. The room was clean and of high standard. They would definitely come again and have recommended it to us. We may have to pay a visit!!
