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 KingdomDifficult to find bins for dogs rubbish, not many bins around. Dogs had to come for breakfast which makes it difficult as need to sit out in another room, away from the food, it would help if tea and coffee were available in the other room as back and forth a lot, food also used up in buffet area but once staff knew they brought more food out but had to wait. Overall nice stay thanks
Beautiful place, staff very friendly took 2 small dogs which was nice to be able to take with us. Great access to take dogs out for toilet in several areas. Would be nice to have spa break but couldn’t use as can’t leave dogs in bedroom but will come back without them another time.

United KingdomSpa experience was limited. Glad I booked mud treatment and hot tub as they're were only 2 steam rooms. Couldn't have evening meal due to "not much food left," which I thought was madness. Quite a random excuse for such a large establishment.
Lovely stay, staff friendly, very clean.

United KingdomThe hotel just felt a little tired and run down. The room was a great size, but had a peelibg ceiling, one lamp not working and some bulbs and shades missing in the chandelier. The mattresses definitely need replacing! It was a very hard bed and not at all comfortable for a side sleeper like me. The spa was nicely set out, but the changing rooms were tiny and mussing luttle touches like hooks for towels and clothes. Several lockers didn't work and hooks would have been useful around the hot tubs too.
Very atmospheric building in a nice Welsh village.

United KingdomThe place generally felt a bit 'tired' and in need of redecoration - in our room the paintwork was chipped or marked in many places. Our room was quite small and cramped. The breakfast room wasn't well organised, we saw tables being reset without being wiped down. Some trays in the breakfast buffet weren't refilled promptly.
Lovely location, beautiful grounds. Interesting building, quite quirky. Lots of peacocks! Nice shower with a good flow. Bed was comfortable.
