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 KingdomThere was only one hook in the bathroom and nowhere to put our towels. Additional hooks or towel rails would have made a lot of difference.
The choice of cereals at breakfast would have been nice.

United KingdomMy only criticism and it's a very fussy minor one is I would have liked fresh milk in the room seeing as we had a fridge as opposed to the UHT pots. Apart from that absolutely nothing at all!
The room was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. Everything you needed including a fridge and coffee machine. We only had drinks in the pub but the atmosphere was good. Breakfast included in the price and was delicious with generous portions. Staff were very polite and professional especially Cerys. Big thank you to everyone. Will definitely be back soon.

United KingdomThe upstairs bedrooms have sloping ceilings, which my husband kept forgetting about and was continually banging his head. This was due to the construction of the building, so it was how it was (not a problem for me as I am only 5ft tall!!)
The staff were delightful and the food at breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent. It was a lovely stay.

United KingdomThe bed was a bit too soft for us, since we both have back problems but that’s personal choice. The occupants next door were very noisy & didn’t turn off their loud TV until 3am, so that was a pity. That was not the venue’s fault though.
Lovely welcome & very friendly, helpful & accommodating staff. A delicious breakfast. Superb shower too! Thank you!

United KingdomExcellent location for Donington Park, and easy to find as not too far from the M1. Breakfast and dinner were both superb, Ryan the chef exceeded our expectations. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated having a fridge in the room to keep fresh milk for tea and coffee. We also appreciated the availability of a late check in. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely large room, bed was very comfy and shower was great. Parking outside and rooms were in a building adjacent to The Horse Pub. We decided to have a meal in the evening and it was extremely good, Breakfast was also very good and was included in the price of the room.

United KingdomThe edge of the bed is very dangerous. It juts out & is very sharp. I hit my leg on it & it was like a knife going in. Over a week later & it still hasn't healed. I advised that they round the edges as it's solid wood. Plus lighting in the en suite dark. Difficult for my husband shaving. Or me to makeup.
The room looked as if recently done. Very clean & modern. Convenient to have the pub on site to have evening meal as out of town. Breakfast was delicious.
