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 KingdomArrived late after a drive of over 5 hours. Saw the bar and asked if we could buy a drink, it was late 1045pm and we were told that they had stopped serving at 1030pm. We were tired after a long drive and maybe some empathy would have gone a long way in allowing us to take a drink to bed ? Disappointed. The cottage we were allocated would not have suited someone with a physical disability as the stairs were very steep. The hotel would not have known our physical condition when the room was allocated.
Excellent breakfast Clean room Comfy bed

United KingdomNothing but if I have to make any comment, it’s a very old property so it has steep stairs to our room. They offer to carry your bags but ask for a room on a lower floor if you aren’t good with stairs! Our bed was also super squishy - not my ideal but that’s just personal preference
Personal service always with a smile 😊. Lovely hotel with fabulous restaurant and gardens. Very old and lots is character with lovely garden lounge to sit and relax before or after dinner. Breakfast was excellent with loads of choices and great cooked options. Nice touch was recommended walks and places to visit put on your table each day.

United KingdomMy third visit here for work in as many years. The staff are all very friendly and approachable. Although the rooms are quite basic, they are both clean and comfortable and my room had also been updated since my last visit. I thought the breakfast was superb. A very wide range of options and all cooked to order.

United KingdomThe evening menu is fairly pricey, fine for a special meal on a night out, but if we were staying for more than one night we’d find an alternative and eat out. There are a fair number of places to eat just a short walk away. Our room was on the top floor and had a sloping ceiling. This was fine for us, and the room was lovely, but anyone less able might find it awkward.
Convenient for a day or two in Bishops Castle, and having parking is a bonus in the town. Staff are lovely, and the food good, with plenty of choices at breakfast. It’s a little more expensive than we normally pay for B&B, but not excessive. The various bars downstairs have a pleasant feel, with real fires and an un crowded atmosphere. Great to have a bath, not just a shower!
