How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We were placed in the old building. We never saw any other resident or staff member. This part of the building means you have to access the main building by walking around the car park. This felt like a completely different hotel and not the one I felt I was checking into. The hotel was far from full and we are not sure why we were placed in this dead part of the hotel, other than we were booking.com customers. We still paid nearly £100 for 1 night so not exactly cheap. As stated I just feel I didn’t stay at the hotel I booked. Did not feel welcome at all and all in all quite disapponted.
The main reception and dining areas are lovely with a nice atmosphere. Breakfast was good.

Excellent shower but my husband found it slippy so a non slip might be useful.
My husband and I are vegetarians, Wildes has a veg/vegan menu and were very happy to fulfil my request. The food was lovely, beautifully cooked and presented. Staff delightful. Location very nice, lovely walk from the front door into the countryside.

I thought the other parts of breakfast; cereals, etc were far below comparable hotels. There was continental breakfast available to order, but almost every hotel I have stayed in have these elements on the buffet, and that was disappointing. I would have expected to see fresh fruits, compotes, yogurts, pastries and croissants on display. My room was in the old part of the hotel, with no internal access to reception, gym and the restaurant. Very comfy bed and decent bathroom, but no means to regulate temperature, lots of noise at 5.00am from room above.
Cooked elements of breakfast were fine.

As there were 3 weddings on while we were staying over the weekend, we could hear the discos from our room.

The room needed refurbishing particularly in the window area. The shower flooded the bathroom. The location of the hotel is awkward unless you're driving as there are no local taxis and Uber rarely pick up there. We had to wait over an hour to get to our destination (and also on the return journey) for an evening wedding reception, although the venue was only a ten minute drive. This spoilt our evening.
The communal areas are all beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. The orangery is a lovely place to eat and the robot waiters are fun. The cooked breakfast is excellent as is the food in the orangery. The bedding is great quality and the shower was powerful. The room was quiet.

Asked for a small bread roll during the wedding breakfast for my 8 month old grandson and the chef refused saying no extras. A bit petty considering the amount of money that was spent by the wedding party.
