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 KingdomFelt the room was a little cramped especially around the bed with tiny bedside tables and a little over priced for the room size, but the bathroom was excellent.
Staff and facilities were excellent, really enjoyed dinner in the restaurant.

United KingdomA slight issue, we couldn't open the curtains in our room first thing as people walking by could see in so we had to remain in the dark with the lights on until we were showered and dressed sufficiently.
The food was outstanding. Breakfast was served to you, no buffet situation and we also had real tea in teapots delivered to the table, proper service! Our room was spectacular, a really nice conversion of the garages. The bathroom was amazing, so big, and the main room was lovely too, with a wonderful comfy bed. Situated in a lovely position, really close to the house, we loved the walk in for breakfast. I was also treated really wonderfully on my birthday, with a glass of bubbly and attentive service for dinner, made it really special for me.

United KingdomHaving booked for six nights we were disappointed to find that only one change was made to the Terrace Restaurant Menu during our stay. Thus limiting our choice of meal.
Continental Breakfast was as expected. Room was as expected . Staff couldn't have been better.

United KingdomWe could have been offered a morning paper but not a huge loss.
Very warm welcome on arrival and an excellent room. We ate at Monty’s which was great value and excellent quality. The evening receptionist suggested we could have morning tea delivered, which we did and it was on time too. We needed a postage stamp to post a card to our grandson and the lovely morning receptionist gave us one out of her own purse. She refused our offer of payment, how generous of her. Location is excellent for Beaulieu and the hotel has a large, secure car park and lovely grounds.

United KingdomConstant loud noise of footsteps over some steps right outside our room. I advised the receptionist when checking out, so hopefully this can be remedied for future customers.
The staff were delightful and helpful. Location was perfect as a base to get around. The room and bathroom were spotless. Loved the gesture of giving a little bag of goodies when checking out.

United KingdomThe Monty's restaurant/pub is not up to the standard of the hotel. It is really the negative of our stay. Everything else is so perfect. The hotel deserves a cozy restaurant with good food and nice pub. I know there is the Terrace restaurant. But the Monty's is cold, there is a strong smell (from a candle or interior perfume) which is not enjoyable, and unfortunately the food is not very good. With simple but good food, and a cozy interior at Monty's, this would have been the absolute perfect stay.
The garden is amazing, the new garden rooms are spacious and beautiful. The staff is lovely.

United KingdomPricey. The get what you pay for mantra has put pressure on everyone. I don’t think this establishment is any worse than others. Make sure you don’t go if a wedding is on.
We love the staff. The location to enjoy the New Forest is excellent. We have visited many times over the last 15 years and will always come back.

United KingdomThe menu options at the Terrace were perhaps 1-2 dishes to limited (could have done with a more basic meat / steak option), however this is being picky.
The service was excellent. Initially the room we were given was sub standard, however it was changed without question and the replacements were very very good. Having recognised the mistake, to a person, every staff member treated us amazingly well. The Courtyard Retreat we had on the second night was excellent and a reason to go back in itself. The Terrace restaurant was really good and breakfasts top quality with excellent local produce
