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.).

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room, with twin four poster beds! Very nice breakfast. Excellent location. Beautiful building and grounds.

United KingdomThe lack of restaurant facilities and a bar suggets the Mansion House is an excellent B&B, but not what I consider to be a hotel.
Our room was excellent. Clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The breakfast was very good with lots of choice. The sitting area was very good and the dining room was spacious.

United KingdomBar closed very early (before 10pm). No restaurant for dinner. Pool and country club facilities closed. Soul-less feel makes it feel more like a bed and breakfast.

United KingdomA tiny thing, but the kettle had to be boiled on the bedside table as the lead wasn't long enough to reach the socket next to the table.
The building itself is gorgeous, so full of character and nicely decorated. The rooms were comfortable and the entire place was lovely and warm throughout. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The snooker table was an added bonus.

United Kingdomthe plugs in the room were too far from the table tops for the kettle to plug in so had to put the kettle on the carpet which was awkward. the shower is in the bath which meant stepping in carefully to a slippery bath. I have had surgery on my hip recently so this was precarious! also lifting the kettle off the floor was hard for me! No bath robes or shower caps. poached eggs were hard but still tasty.
it was spacious, beautifully decorated and in an excellent location. The owls at night were singing in the trees which was lovely and crocuses in the gardens were pretty. staff were friendly and helpful.
