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 KingdomWhat is on offer for Breakfast at £30 per head is disappointing to say the least! The lounge/bar area could do with a bit of spring cleaning! Cobwebs…

United KingdomWi-fi was patchy and the room somewhat dimly lit (not much light coming from the windows). We could also hear a lot of noise from people walking in the corridor outside our room, i.e. sound-proofing would be a plus.
Comfortable beds, hearty breakfast, location close to a bus stop, clean bathroom, gluten-free bread was available on request (important for us).

United KingdomThe only slight issue for us was that the room was a little chilly and we could not get the radiator to work. Also we had to pay extra for latte's and cappucino's at breakfast, which seemed a little tight.
We had a good lunch prior to checking in. Room was a good size and bed very comfortable. Good breakfast included.

United KingdomThere was a bad smell coming from the shower soak away in both my daughters room and our room too. We had to cover it with towels on both days, which rather spoilt our stay a bit.
Food as very good indeed.

United KingdomLots of steps up to entrance. It was pouring with rain during my stay, the steps were slippery and the white edge markings needed renewal as they were not easy to see in the dark and rain. Inside, lots of steps up to the bedroom, not easy for old ladies with luggage and the bedroom door close was so stiff it made it difficult to get into the room. The dark decor made the room rather gloomy for my liking.
Clean room and shower room, plenty of towels with good tea and coffee facilities, ironing board, deaf alarm provided when I asked for it and lots of parking. Staff very considerate and helpful, food was well-cooked (thank you to the chefs) with lots of choice, very prompt service and reasonably priced. Meeting room was excellent as was the service from staff and the room facilities when I was in a meeting there.

United KingdomA better explanation of when the coffee bar would be set up in the morning (we were told what time breakfast would be served and that there would be coffee available, but not that the coffee wouldn't be available until breakfast hours.) It took a few minutes to work out how the shower worked as the same knob works the overhead and hand-held shower features.
The view overlooking the garden was lovely. The room was comfortable and quiet, with plenty of space. The washroom was also generous in size.

United KingdomNot a great fan of the compulsory 10% service charge. Think it should be the prerogative of the paying customer. No volume on BBC 1 during stay. Forgot to mention this on leaving as didn’t particularly impact on our stay.
Quite a well appointed hotel just a short walk from centre of Godalming. Staff extremely welcoming. Lovely evening meal with relatives. Very comfortable bed and lovely sized room with a good shower.
