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.).

GermanyNo complaints, everything was fine.
We, a couple from Germany, felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay at Hotspur House very much. Liz, our host, invited us to delicious homemade scones. Our room was comfortable and decorated tastefully. Breakfast was extraordinary. Liz helped us with finding nice places to dine and even arranged a booking for us. We can definitely recommend Hotspur House :-)

You really can’t go wrong with Hotspur House. The house is beautiful with spotlessly clean rooms. You also have use of a drawing room and outside terrace/garden. Liz is a wonderful host; friendly, helpful and accommodating. We were offered coffee, tea, homemade scones on arrival and subsequent afternoons. Superb and plentiful breakfast that was a cut above the norm. The list goes on, what a fabulous place and we will be back!

United KingdomBeautiful house with the best mattress and bedding we have ever slept on in any bed and breakfast accommodation. Luxury bathroom with a powerful shower and high quality products for use when showering or bathing. USB points on all sockets very welcome and the Wi-Fi has a strong signal. Tea and scones each afternoon in the sitting room was most welcome. The breakfast was a standout, being made with the highest quality local ingredients, perfectly cooked and such a large portion it kept us filled until the evening! Eggs the best we’ve tasted.

United KingdomWe only had 2 evenings to enjoy it!
Details matter and the details at Hotspur House are spot on. For example you have builtbin USB sockets in the rooms, high quality toiletries if you need them, home made biscuits and good quality tea and coffee, fresh milk daily. Add to the details a delightful house and a charming host who cooks individual breakfasts - what more could any one ask for?

The warm welcome was more than I had anticipated. The house is beautifully decorated. The breakfast was fabulous and the home made scones on arrival was a special touch. Beautiful gardens too! The room was furnished to a very high standard and had all the bells and whistles that you could ever need. Great local shops and 2 great pubs, we had a great evening meal.

Our stay at Hotspur House was delightful and very comfortable. Our host Liz, was friendly, welcoming, generous and very attentive and made for a wonderful stay ! This lovely Georgian home is full of character and the room facilities had that ‘home from home’ feel. Our breakfasts were superb and hearty.
