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 KingdomA character-free wedding venue on nice grounds. We liked the outside and grounds better than the inside. Venue not responsible for the wind and rain... The service in the restaurant was slow and impersonal, more like a pub (it is called a pub, but geared to food service, order at the bar). Walking around builders on arrival would be a temporary problem, I'm sure.
The place was convenient for a one-night stop over. The room was comfortable, but looked nothing like the room shown on the website. The manor house had a restaurant, so very convenient. Plenty of parking. Quite reasonable price for B&B, relatively speaking.

United KingdomThe room was very overheated and difficult to turn down or off: The bathroom was very new with excellent shower but the towel-rail was impossible to access although luckily my partner is tall but if on my own I would have had to call reception. The mirror over the basin was placed to high for me to use it! I am 5.2. No heated towel rail or place to hang hand towel!
The food was good:

United KingdomThe bar area itself is not that welcoming I think, unless you're with a group. And the selection of drinks (in particular cider) was not impressive. And the barman did not really listen to my drinks order, so although I got a JD & diet juice, it was not in a large glass like I asked for, so a tad on the strong side for me. I'd expect a hotel like this to have at least one USB sockets in the room
This place is in a really lovely setting, and the guy at the front desk immediately made us hugely welcome and looked after us SO well. He really went above and beyond. We'd forgotten our UK USB charger and he charged our phones for us at reception using his own personal charger. He also helped us with directions of what the path was like to a local pub we wanted to visit. When we came back to the hotel later and got drinks, he mentioned to us about another lounge area we could sit, which was a wee bit nicer than the bar. Overall, along with the surroundings and how nicely the place was kept, his careful attention made our stay. As it was a wee bit away from things, we opted to get breakfast there and it was very nice, and we were well looked after

United KingdomThe carpets, unfortunatly just looked grubby/old/dirty and pulling up at the eges and tatty. Also, there was a powercut at breakfast so no fresh breakfast available and although paid extra for breakfast no compensation offered.
Hotel looks very grand from the outside, beautiful grounds in stunning location. Internal decor very inkeeping and vintage. Loved the layout of our room and the decor however it did need a little spruce up. The breakfast had oodles of choice hot and cold, best breakfast choices iv seen at a hotel. All staff friendly and helpfull.
