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 hotel was busy and at breakfast there was only one member of staff serving all of the guests. This was insufficient for the number of guests. As a result we waited for around 30 minutes for breakfast. I ordered the full English which, despite the very high quality, was served lukewarm and borderline edible. I was told I would need to wait an additional 15 minutes to have it replaced so I declined.
Nice hotel in the lovely village of Croft. We had a premium double room which was large and had an excellent modern bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomWe had to ask for batteries for the tv remote in the living area, upon requesting these, I was told the tv didn't work in the bedroom area, but would hopefully get fixed the following day. This never happened. It was lovely being upgraded, and I was looking forward to laying in bed watching TV, a real treat. But why upgrade to a room where the tv didn't work, a great disappointment!
We were upgraded to the Garden Suite which was lovely.

United KingdomOne of the two rooms booked was particularly cold. We attended a wedding at the hotel - it didn’t appear to be very well organised. There was no privacy in the bathroom which faced the main road. Lunchtime buffet was poor.
Breakfast was good although the smoked salmon wasn’t available and the black pudding was missing from the full English. Evening buffet was excellent! The interior decor was very tastefully done. Comfy beds - slept well!

United KingdomI thought the tea and coffee making facilities were really basic. I would always expect Yorkshire tea as a standard. I've stayed in lots of hotels recently that now have a Nespresso machine in the rooms so it was disappointing that it was non branded instant coffee.
Nice large room, comfortable bed, bathroom was modern and clean

United KingdomWe booked this at the last minute (30 mins ahead of arriving) and it was delightful and perfect for our needs - comfortable, warm room (there was an additional, plug in heater in our room, which was perfect) and helpful, friendly staff. We had dinner in the restaurant (which was closing at 8pm - a bit earlier than it says on the website) which was very nice. We really enjoyed our safe and it was brilliant for a late find and very good value :-)

United KingdomJust an observation with the cooked breakfast;- Mushroom on plate was cold whilst all other items were nice and hot. Is this deliberate?
Room (upgrade) was very comfortable and spacious, ideal for our 3 night stay. Bar/lounge area was very cosy and inviting. Breakfast options were very good, plentiful and tasty. Cooked breakfast was excellent with very good quality ingredients. Staff throughout our stay were welcoming, friendly and very helpful.
