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 KingdomSee above
The room itself was nice and bed comfortable, but the facilities poor. The swimming pool was full with people, who were not hotel guests I believe. Jacuzzi (which I was very much looking forward to) was not working. Sauna was dirty. When we arrived, we asked if they had slippers for us. We didn’t brought any with us expecting a hotel with swimming pool etc definitely having it (since many other hotels do have them). The bottle with hand/body lotion was empty.

United KingdomWe order a Sandwich one night from room service. Cheese and shallots toasty. Well we was very disappointed it was basically a two slices of bread with mealted cheese with about 5 pieces or red onion in it, which cost us £17 in total £11 for sandwich and £6 waiter fee. It wasn't how much it cost that disappointed it was what we got... VERY DISAPPOINTED. Not even salad on the side. Way to pricey for what is what.
Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the day and night reception/lobby staff. Breakfast was nice and hot also very friendly staff. Pool was nice. All round very lovely hotel. Will definitely return.

United KingdomThe pool area. Not nice at all, very outdated peeling paint and very very neglected. It let the whole experience down. We specifically chose that hotel for the pool for the kids and paid for a more expensive hotel because of it so it was very disappointing and not at all like in the pictures. The rest of our experience was brilliant.

The room was lovely, we had lots of room and twin sinks in bathroom area. I liked the atrium bar and the food and service was excellent. Great range of food choices for breakfast and fruit was fresh. We used pool and facilities and they were clean and towels were provided

United KingdomThe leisure facilities - pool, jacuzzi and sauna were awful. Dated, dirty and not at all in keeping with the rest of the hotel. The area is very small and scattered with plastic patio furniture. It was the opposite of luxurious and inside the sauna you could see actual litter and dirt piled up in the corner where it had clearly been swept there. This was really disappointing as it was this feature that made us select this hotel over other options and we wouldn’t have bothered to use these facilities at all had we known how bad they were.
The hotel was lovely and the room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location was ideal for the purpose of our trip (a taxi ride away from an event at Englefield House). Staff were really professional and helpful.
