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 KingdomOver my last three stays it has gone from having a good hot buffet breakfast, to being told quite rudely that it was continental breakfast only, to being told before my last stay that they are now a room only hotel with no breakfast option at all. There used to be a very friendly girl that did the evening reception for check in. Now there is no one on the reception and you have to phone a mobile number and wait for someone to come and check you in. The prices have gone up, which means it's not as good value especially for room only. I was told that the new owners are renovating (and to be fair it did need some improvements) but the last couple of stays have felt like paying more and getting less, so I won't stay here again.
I have stayed at Risley Hall quite a few times as it was a good price for a once a month visit to the area for work. I have always enjoyed it's somewhat quirky, old world charm and closed my eyes to the run down parts as I found the Fawlty Towers-esque feel entertaining. Things appear to be changing with new owners and I won't be staying here again.

United KingdomStaff member was basic at best. Not welcoming, seemed put out to deal with me. Explained nothing. No personality no enthusiasm no help. Not a great ambassador for such a lovely place. Nothing was open either, no facilities on the website were available at all.
Beautiful place. Building works going on but doesn't detract from the overall views. Lovely place to look at.Room was great. Big!! Clean, lovely and warm, comfy bed big TV, quiet (until builders arrived) Loads of parking. Great value room.

United KingdomThis is an old period property. Our room was dated and needs updating. The hotel is in the process of doing this and they are also renovating the public areas.
The room was large with a comfortable bed and a pleasant view of the grounds. Unlike other hotels we have stayed in recently, the room was heated to a pleasant temperature. Set back from the road, so very quiet in the night.

The property has lots of character. It is located very close to the motorway and ideal for a very reasonably priced stop over on a long journey if you just require a spacious comfortable room. Excellent places to eat close by.

ItalyVery tired carpets with duct tape holding things together. Very poor house keeping we both didn’t have bedding changed. Wall paper hanging off wall (room 4). Heating was so so hot windows wide open to let heat out, waste of money to hotel.
Absolutely fantastic staff very polite and kind with lots of get up and go. Great building from outside lovely garden and some good architectural period features inside. Very good breakfast (except sausage not cooked enough).

United KingdomThere was only one person on duty the whole time. It made the place feel a bit lonely! We have been staying at Risley Hall for many years, we love the place and its situation. However, we have seen it go down and down in those years. The person in charge this time though seemed to really believe in the place and made a real effort to make us feel at home. Hopefully, it reached the bottom and is now on its way up again. We did see signs of that.
We had a lovely room, in the roof or so it seemed. It was comfortable, hidden away and quiet with lots of character. The bathroom was okay, a bit tired and the water could have done with being a tad hotter.

United KingdomThe second time we stayed we were seen to by a young girl. She first of all out us in a tiny little cramped room and wouldn’t bring glasses up the stairs for us. So when I went down to collect I asked any chance we could have a slightly bigger room well she gave us the next one a long it was so much better. But very very squeaky bed. The young girl on reception just wanted to chat to the young man stood at the end of reception obviously they knew each other chatting away. All in I do think this a beautiful hotel just wish all staff were trained the same way and more respectful.
Brilliant always have space for us both times we’ve been over there now. First time was amazing the staff were great and helpful so late at night. And put us in a locley room other side of the hotel. Also brought us glasses to our room ! Very kind lady! Very comfy bed and room it was beautiful.
