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 KingdomThe only small negative I would mention, we were in a ground floor room near the car park, some kind of light privacy covering at the windows would have been good
We often stop off here on our way home from Scotland and think it would be nice to stay. We were celebrating a special birthday and our wedding so decided to treat ourselves. The hotel, food and service was everything we hoped it would be. Enjoyed it so much we are going to make it our Anniversary get away.

United KingdomStaff in the dining room were inexperienced and missed little touches such as promptly clearing away empty plates and pouring wine
The hotel is of a very high standard and no expense has been spared on the fixtures and fittings.. The room came with a complementary cocktail, beer and sill and sparkling water. Breakfast was excellent and the dining was substantial and good. Staff were helpful and friendly.

United KingdomMy Dads accessible room was good but I’d be interested to know if an occupational therapist has advised on the bathroom/bedroom. The bed was a little to high, the sink wasnt adjustable and was very close to the toilet and the toilet was a bit too low. Otherwise we loved it!
Everything - location and bedroom were great. The facilities for my dog were also hugely appreciated.

United StatesLocation. We were walking Hadrian’s Walll. If you had a car, it would be even better.
Great facilities. Great staff. Great breakfast and dinner. The design and amenities are excellent. The location is the only minus as there is very little to do unless you go into town.

United KingdomEverything at the hotel was great but we received a lot of messages from booking.com, one of which thanked us for cancelling our reservation. We contacted the hotel directly who conformed that our reservation stood and that they had not sent any messages.
Lovely room, very clean, well-appointed and comfortable as well as stylish. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and knowledgeable of the locality. Dinner was excellent, as was breakfast. Very quiet rural location but convenient for M6 and Carlisle.
