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 KingdomRoom - pillows were too firm and gave me a crick in the neck. Fusion restaurant was disappointing - the service was poor (we felt that we were an inconvenience) and the choice of food was very limitied (allergy to shellfish, meant that I could not have anything fried even if it did not contain shellfish as all fried foods use the same oil). If we return to Ramside we will not be dining in Fusion.
Room (Suite) was spacious and excellent value; Rib Room Restaurant was very good, both service (nothing was too much trouble) and food (my wife had the 'best' steak ever) - excellent wine.

United KingdomThe spa facilities should be available for more than an hour if staying, especially if it’s not busy. Quite noisy in the corridors so had a disrupted sleep. Hairdryers not great.
Location was great! Nice decor in the bathroom! The price was super good value for money!

United KingdomRooms are comfortable. The food In the fusion restaurant is unbelievable. The only bad thing is you only get an hour in the spa and have to prebook which isn’t like other spa hotels we’ve stayed in.

United Kingdomhigh price and only using spa for 1 hour I think 2 hours should be allowed and I think if room is 300 plus you should get breakfast the new years eve gala in golf venue was a lil tight that you could only have one small slice of cake
spa amazing but you only get an hour we didn't pay for breakfast as our room only was 312 for one night its all a little high in price but can't fault the comfort and cleanliness

United KingdomLord of devices with lights in the rooms, and doors are very much not sound proofed, you can hear people walking and talking quite clearly which took a bit of the luxury away. Also found it quite complicated to actually get a spa pass organised.
Decor was very very nice, food was great. And location is very close to central Durham but with a countryside feel.

United KingdomAbit disappointed it is advertised as SPA access but really you can only use the swimming pool. No one explained this to us so we did end up using the main spa before we were told by one of the pool side assistants we couldn’t. Ordered breakfast for between 9-9:30. Came before 9 and staff banging on the door to deliver it.
Room was a great size, meal at the rib room was very good value. Swimming pool changing room and area is nice.

DenmarkYou can hear everything from the surrounding rooms.
The size of the room and bathroom was perfect. The bed was very comfortable. The food in the restaurant (Fusion) was really nice, breakfast was good. The coffee was very very good 😁 Me and my boy enjoyed the pool very much. The staff were helpful although a few of them are inexperienced but no major issue.
