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 KingdomUpgraded Deluxe Spa room, promised upgraded toiletries along with the multi-jet shower and spa bath. We simply had shampoo and a liquid soap. I hate to criticise a perfect stay otherwise, but we would expect ay least a hair conditioner in return for the extra £30 for each night. Cath (above) did instantly bring us some old bottled supplies of conditioner upon request, so again huge credit to her personally.
The Staff. Reception, bar staff, private wedding function staff, health club staff. All absolutely first rate. Friendly, welcoming, efficient, and with a well-judged sense of humour. Cath (reception), Amy, (bar), and all the others we couldn't remember the names of, were perfect. I have to mention a lovely lady who had her son working in the function room bar, and also his girlfiend, all exceptionally friendly throughout our 2 night stay.

United KingdomThe only things I would suggest is the steam room was poor to the point I had to double check with staff that it was on, the showers in the room and gym were weak and the hotel room was way to hot and I couldn't open the window more than 1 inch
The staff were absolutely brilliant, unfortunately it was raining so we didn't get the chance to explore the grounds but the hotel was fantastic nice food and a good selection of drinks. The family room was absolutely fantastic and the main reason we will be using this hotel again along with the swimming pool

United KingdomUnfortunately, I am celiac and while you advertise gluten free cereal, there was none. That is my preferred breakfast. It is not difficult to stock. There was however gluten free bread. Reception staff on the day was not the most enthusiastic or welcoming ( I had to start the conversation) and looked a little untidy. Whilst the grounds are pleasant, the 'crazy golf' is a bit of an eyesaw and in need of refurbishment. It is not usuable. The car park is a little inconvenient
Room was fresh, clean and appeared recently refurbished. Cooked breakfast was good and had plenty of choice. It wad good value for a one night stay.

United KingdomStorage draws for clothes and more hangers for trousers required. Fire alarm went off at 3.10am was a false alarm, but no check on who evacuated and some of the fire doors had not closed when we re-entered hotel. We had been booked into the furthest room so had long walks for everything.
Comfortable bed, food fine but need to book in advance.

United KingdomThe bar area was quite small and dimly lit. We chose to eat our evening meal in the bar but it was difficult to eat at the table. I’m sure the dining room would have been much better if the lovely breakfast was anything to go by. And our bathroom was a bit outdated with a toilet that was very difficult to flush!
The location was stunning, set in huge grounds that even had its own crazy golf and an outside bar. Great indoor pool area. Found out too late that it is dog friendly. And the food was delicious.

United KingdomIssue with air con.. rang reception as I was 28 degrees and very hot. Manager came to roo..straight away to sort it.. however room was too hot as aircon was on but not blowing.. because of this we had a poor sleep. As states before it was a deluxe spa room so paid for up grade however I was shocked there wasn't a fridge in room also being a spa hotel I'd have thought nice toiletries woukd have been a must .. single use ones but there was only shampoo and body wash in a multi use dispenser.. could have done with body lotion tbh after pool sauna etc. I could have taken my kwn but being a spa hotel I assumed it wod be provided especially being a 4 star? Room was nice and modern spa bath and shower but on the small.side
Beautiful grounds. Very relaxed atmosphere. Loved the spa eatery and bar. So relaxing. Staff pleasant. Had a massage in spa was fab. Modern rooms. I booked deluxe double spa room so gown and slippers were provided . Pool sauna etc were great
