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.).

FranceNothing really.
Very friendly staff, clean room, great breakfast. The coffee and tea making facility in the room was very much appreciated. Great shower, comfy bed, and we loved the petting farm next door - which we could see from our room. All in all, very happy. Thank you. ;-)

We stayed in the Shepard's hut, as we were attending a wedding nearby. We wish we'd have booked an extra night! The hut has everything you need and was so cute! Staff were also very lovely

United KingdomWe were lucky enough to get an upgrade to one of the shepherds huts. This was a great space, very clean, cosy and comfortable. The views out of the window were stunning. We were greeted at reception by Sophie who was very friendly, helpful and professional. All other staff with the hotel were also friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomThe room could have been warmer when we arrived, it took all night to get it to a reasonable temperature. The acoustics in the front lounge area are such that even slightly raised voices in the bar areas were amplified to such a level as to make conversation on the couches difficult.
Check in and evening meal were very good, room was very clean and the view was superb.

United KingdomWe love staying here. The only issue (and it is minor) is the creaking floors and bathroom noises from the upper floor!
The hotel looks fantastic with its upgrade. The staff here are so friendly and fun, rooms clean and comfortable, food is fresh, hot and delicious, breakfast the same and overall a fantastic stay again.

We stayed in the Shepard hut… view was amazing ! Words can’t describe how lovely the huts are. The venu itself is gorgeous, a lot bigger inside than it looks. Food was nice, homemade tomato soup a stand out and the garlic bread was the nicest we have ever had from anywhere. Amazing venu & ended up staying an extra night we liked the first night that much.

United KingdomBar closed at 9pm. Even though we didn't avail of the service, would have been nice to be open to at least 10pm.
The hotel atmosphere was very warm and welcoming on such a miserable rainy Easter day. Room was basic but with luxury comfort. Bedding and bed linen was incredibly cosy. Light , bright room with modern blinds, curtains, carpet, etc which gave room period cottage luxury. Staff were very homely, inviting, friendly and you felt you could ask them for anything.

I liked everything about The Grains Bar Hotel. From the greeting I received when i arrived to the send-off, i received when i was leaving. Everything was perfect. Everyone was so friendly and spent time chatting with me. The evening meal and breakfast were really good, with large portions, too. My room was spacious, clean, well presented and had everything that i needed. Nothing was too much trouble for Lisa and her team. I will return sometime, and i highly recommend others to visit too.

United KingdomNothing, it was all amazing.
What a beautiful little gem, randomly chose this hotel as we had an event booked nearby. I didn't have a clue what it would be like, but what an amazing place. The place itself is beautiful and so clean and well kept even the outside areas were so clean and tidy. Bonus.... having the beautiful birds and animals right outside our window. The food was 10/10 and I am quite fussy with food...they served the best chips I've ever tasted, all homemade food. The staff were fabulous too, very helpful and super friendly. I cannot wait to come back in the summer. Thank you to all the staff for a fabulous stay.
