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 KingdomBreakfast sausage wasn’t cooked through and had to be returned. I was the only person having breakfast so kitchen wasn’t under pressure
Fabulous location and finished to an extremely high standard throughout. Staff very helpful but had not unlocked the hotel door - I was placed in an adjacent cottage - and had to knock on breakfast area windows to get in.

United KingdomThe entire hotel is just stunning. It’s the perfect location to get away from a busy life and just take a moment to relax and appreciate the quiet around you, and the food was incredible - a solid 10/10.

United KingdomIt was our honeymoon, the staff were made aware but not so much as a complimentary glass of wine. When you're paying through the nose for a special 1 night stay It was a little disappointing 😞

United KingdomWe think that possibly the up market Eyas Restaurant ought to provide an alternative to the 6 course & rather expensive 'Taster Menu'. Possibly a 3 or 4 course dinner option thus giving diners a greater choice.
The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice & nicely presented. For us the hotel location was just right, not far from home, in a tiny village, part of a private estate & surrounded by countryside, but not that far from a big town if required.

United KingdomUnfortunately on our two nights the main restaurant was closed so we ate in the bar and could not sample their main menu. The bar food was very good but the choices limited.
The hotel is contemporary and well designed and spotless. The breakfast was excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive.

United KingdomThe cooked breakfast wasn't spot on as certain foods didn't hav the flavour I expected, although my new husband polished off what I didn't eat. We weren't too keen on the toilet as we felt exposed to the room, and not much privacy in that area. Having to wait a lengthy time at reception, as there was only 1 member of staff and she was having to answer telephone calls too as well as face to face customers. There was no little shop for gifts or necessities for our stay.
The room, the bed, the balcony, the view, an option of bath and shower, Breakfast in bed was an exceptional experience Loved the power shower with varying options to change the jet. Being able to sit outside on the balcony with a drink and still have that intimate time with my new husband was priceless. This was so idyllic.

United KingdomMy only gripe was the bed - I think it was a twin connected to form a double. Sometimes mattress toppers are laid over the join so you can’t feel them. This wasn’t the case in this room unfortunately, so I spent both nights sleeping on the edge of the bed. If this wasn’t the case, something uncomfortable made it very difficult to sleep in the middle.
I have stayed at this hotel multiple times now. I was attending a wedding in Birmingham, but chose to stay at The Falcon and commute as I love how clean the rooms and bathrooms are, in addition to how lovely the staff are.
