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.).

BelgiumCottages are relatively basic which is to be expected at this price point probably.
The estate is beautiful, and staff were very friendly (upgrading us to a cottage because of our dog). It felt like going back in time a bit. Overall great experience.

United KingdomThe mattress in our cottage was a bit thin.
What I liked most were the never ending gardens where both us and our German Shepherd dog were over the moon. The food was good too and the staff very attentive.

United KingdomNo access to pool/jacuzzi facilities - only one room has access. Toiletries in the bathroom should be provided and they really need to change the mattress! More vegetarian/vegan options on the menu would be great. They could also do with turning off/down the music that's played throughout the hotel after 10pm as I could hear it in my room.
Such a regal and spectacular building. Reception staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The entrance and main hall is phenomenal. My room was a very spacious suite in the main building. It was missing extras such as toiletries and could’ve done with a bath tub. The building was very warm and unfortunately, the mattress was rock hard and I now have a bad back from it. Besides that, the restaurant was very formal but brilliant food. Breakfast was hosted in what I imagine is the old kitchen/servants quarter. Coffee was great but they took quite a while with serving hot food. It would’ve been nice to have had it in the dining room. Overall a very pleasant stay but I probably wouldn’t stay again due to the mattress being rock hard.

United KingdomJust one thing would have made it better, although it was self catered, toiletries and cleaning materials for the kitchen were provided, it would have been nice to have a small amount of coffee, tea and milk just to allow us to have a hot drink when we arrived

United KingdomNo complaints whatsoever - I had a great time. The overflow car park was a little muddy due to the inclement weather (but who can control the weather, or where birds decide to showcase their Jackson Pollock abilities on windscreens?)
Location, long (front entrance) driveway, beautiful and peaceful grounds, abundance of free parking. The Hall itself is very elegant and the rooms (or at least the one I stayed in) are really lovely, large, with a dressing room, little bonus touches.

United KingdomThe bed in our first cottage was paper thin and behind uncomfortable. There were a lot of dead bugs in the dining room and even one in my glass The breakfasts table had been cleaned but a used glass left for the new diner to us
The house and grounds in general are beautiful. We stayed for a wedding which was the polar opposite to our first nights stay. The food was incredible, staff service throughout our stay was perfect b it the cottage room (5) and dining experience the night before let it down. Room 14 however very well kept and really comfy bed.
