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.).

Who want to use spa after facial? Tell that to the male management..we still got charge 21quid for gown..it the principal. Would not go back..we waited 2and half hours for a snack in our room as cook misunderstood us and thought it was for our breakfast.so receptionist guybrought it up..told us service was complimentary..what we thpught..but checking out we were charge 45 quid for our sandwiches ..eventually the guy took ot ofc our bill..but those things make a difference.

United KingdomThe dining area was a bit flashy for my taste, but the decor in the rest of the hotel was nice. one of the two showers in the pool area not working but it wasn't too busy when we were there so not a problem
Great value, lovely staff couldn't be more helpful, super spa facilities with outdoor jacuzzi and a good sized indoor pool for a proper swim

United KingdomHotel still looking tired even after a refresh, we have visited The Manor/Newlands Corner Hotel for events/functions on many occasions. Queued to Check In behind 3/4 other guests as reception could only cope with checking in one guest booking at a time. Bedroom was functional but furniture could do with upgrading. Shower screen did not stop water going all over the bathroom floor. Not enough bar staff available before and during meal at charity function. Food at Function good. Restaurant very busy at breakfast and there was a shortage of bowls/plates. Cooked Breakfast though was very good, and hot. Spa was busy with many couples/groups staying for Spa Breaks, outside Jacuzzi only working on one side. Steam Room working well but Sauna cool with no water bucket or monitored by spa staff. Queued to Check Out when leaving. Hotel more expensive than others in the area with same facilities.

United KingdomHefty charge to borrow a robe for the pool area, none in room. Cooked Breakfast on Friday morning was not made to order or provided self serve buffet style so there was no choice in what we were given. It wasn’t very hot either. Saturday hot breakfast was buffet self serve which was better. A lot of stains on the communal carpets
Good leisure facilities, lots of parking, good restaurant reasonably priced, friendly staff, ironing board and iron in room

United KingdomNo lift, lots of steps, bedclothes on the double bed were dirty and should probably have been thrown out (resolved quickly). Charged for too many breakfasts (resolved quickly). Fire alarm and evacuation on second night (not hotel's fault), but communication non-existent. General attention to detail - TV wasn't ready to be turned on - I had to follow the cable spur back to a switch over the desk in order to turn it on, then the batteries in the remote were dead. No sockets next to either bed, so medical equipment could not be used. Variety of pastries at breakfast should be greater.
Main vestibule and restaurant area very colourful and pleasant. Our family room - 27 - was big with a lovely parkland view and a balcony. Leisure facilities really good and - other than one poolside shower - in a good state of repair. Gym is very good - selection of free weights, resistance, cardio and aerobic kit. Outside leisure area seems to have recently improved. Sunday lunch really tasty, coped well with a large booking. Wi-fi worked fine.USB sockets for phone / tablet charging very good.

United KingdomOur view was meant to be a garden view but was a roof with an extractor. The other side of the headboard was the corridor with a fire door which was banged repeatedly by guesses until after midnight. We asked to be moved and had a much better room. Very quite.

United KingdomGenerally the rooms are nice but the rooms can get quite cold and do have some signs of wear and tear. There is a large drafty gap under the doors. The walls an also really quite thin and you can hear people speaking almost word for word if you are sitting in your room without the TV on! Beds are ok but I think the pillows need replacing.
Nice quite location. Spa is lovely - especially the outdoor jacuzzi! Overall a well presented property!

United KingdomNo price given for breakfast. Had 4 hours sleep due to someone in the room above me pacing back and forth until the early hours the pacing also caused our ceiling to squeak and creak which added to a loud TV sound coming from somewhere. I popped down to reception and asked for earplugs which I've never used before which i couldn't use because they felt tight. Our room was cold because the small print was really small so couldn't work it out. The young gentleman on reception said I couldn't book my evening meal for 6.30 because it was fully booked which I found strange due to being a Tuesday. He told me 6pm which meant I had to change my diary. I asked for 9 am breakfast so I could have a swim but was told 8.30. So again I felt deflated.
Food,health spa,gardens even the indoor plants, cleanliness are excellent.

United KingdomThe property was a little tired, lots of stains on the carpets throughout. Ideally would have liked to have breakfast but as I was travelling for work I had to leave before it was available. WiFi in my room was patchy, and this did hinder me somewhat whilst trying to work remotely.
Location was perfect for my purpose, beautiful building and lovely grounds. The pool and spa area was brilliant, if I had more time I would have been to the gym for certain. My room was very spacious and well appointed, very comfortable bed. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff at Guildford Manor were lovely and very helpful, especially the restaurant/bar team.
