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 KingdomWe hope that funding can be found to stabilise the historic remains beyond the main hotel buildings. They are currently fenced off and somewhat overgrown, which will in time cause further instability and damage. It would really add a valuable dimension to the site if visitors could enter the remains of the buildings around the original front courtyard and also gain a clearer sense of the original entry to the castle.
Everything at the hotel was wonderful. We felt very relaxed and comfortable and really enjoyed trying out the different lounges and wandering around the grounds. We were able to book a guided tour from the local history society, which really helped to make sense of the site. The food was excellent and staff were helpful, pleasant and discreet. We hugely enjoyed our stay!

AustraliaDisappointed that there was a charging station on the property that we weren't advised about. Also a bit disappointed that we couldn't explore the dungeon.
It was magical and enchanting to stay in a real authentic castle. Everything was beautiful. The staff were exceptional. The room was magnificent. Loved everything about this place and will never forget our night there.

United StatesIt was a bit difficult to get to, but our point of origin may have had a lot to do with that, so it’s a minor point.
The impeccable attention to detail. The sheer beauty of the castle and grounds. The fabulous staff. The absolutely divine food. The tranquility. The room size. The amazing comfort.

Everything you’d expect from staying in a castle! Our room was spacious and elegantly decorated; the grounds were beautiful; there was secure parking on site; exceptional and attentive staff. There were ample spaces to relax with a drink from the bar and a sensational restaurant (chef) on site.

United Kingdomwe went on a very warm sunny day at end of May and the very comfortable bed only had a full winter weight duvet which was far too hot. there were no alternatives provided either. and by the time we began to seriously overheat at 2 in the morning we thought we didn’t want to call down to reception - the prices for food were very high with little choice on the menu. quite a limited breakfast choice - you’d think a 5 star traditional hotel like this would have smoked haddock or kippers for breakfast. it seems the food choice at breakfast was highly geared to an American clientele - lots of Egg Benedict was being ordered this morning by no fewer than 3 tables of US guests!

United StatesAbsolutely nothing.
We liked EVERYTHING about this castle --can not believe we actually got to stay there. It was my husband's birthday so we treated ourselves for 1 night here while on our 2 week trip. We stayed in the Catherine of Aragon Tower and the room was crazy -- the biggest 4 poster bed in the UK was in our room. There was a gas fire place in the room and a small wood burning fire place in the bathroom. The bathroom was HUGE and had a soaking tub and a walk in shower. The little extras like the robes and toiletries made it even more special. While old and antique, the entire castle and especially our room were extremely clean and comfy. If you want a treat, stay here.
