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 ate in the main restaurant on our first evening, we found the menu very limited. If you are looking for a simple dish this restaurant isn’t where you will find it. The food was nice but a few simpler dishes would probably be a good start. Sharing the dining room with dogs is also a big no no. The mattress in the bedroom was really hard and uncomfortable, probably a personal choice but we would think more people prefer a softer mattress.
The room was really beautiful and had all you could ask for. Nice touch to have a few free drinks and sweets for the stay. Shower was really good in a huge bathroom. Nice and quiet location.

United KingdomI would have liked to control the temperature in the room. I also found accessing the welcome pack via a QR code a bit of a hassle. I would have appreciated a printed version so I could quickly find any info I needed. I felt like I might have missed out by losing patience with QR codes!
I had always wanted to stay at Victoria as Holkham is a favourite place. We stayed in Ancient House which was lovely and we had a seating area where we could chill with magazines and prosecco. I had a bath and a shower during our stay which felt luxurious and we appreciate the free parking pass for the rest of the Estate car parks. We had dinner in the restaurant - it was delicious, the fire was burning and the staff were super friendly.

United KingdomThe thing we didn’t like was the reception room it is just inside the front doors. With 2 desks with helpful girls behind. I wanted to ask something one day but there was a resident having a right old moan. So I retreated back out as it was embarrassing. I feel he should have been taken to somewhere quiet so he could vent his anger. We were also put in room 8 Blunt Corner. It was in the courtyard & very cold even though we had radiators.
It’s a lovely & cosy & friendly hotel. The staff are lovely & very helpful. Food was fresh tasty & well presented. Lee & Ewan are very helpful. But to be fair all staff excellent. Dogs very welcome there.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing! The Victoria ticked EVERY box!
An absolute 10/10 hotel! The staff could not have been nicer, the breakfast and dinner were superb and the rooms were absolutely gorgeous. We travel across the country for work and stay in hotels across the UK and the Victoria was easiliy one of the best we have had the pleasure of staying in this year. We had been stuck in terrible traffic getting to the hotel and called ahead to let them know as it would have meant missing dinner (which was included in our particular booking). They were so accommodating and even though we were not expecting it, they then prepared a selection of sandwiches and other nibbles to replace the evening meal we would have got had we not have been delayed. This was SUCH a welcome treat upon arrival after a long and difficult journey and we were so grateful to the front of house staff and of course the chef for such a kind and welcome gesture. The area speaks for its self, both beautiful and picturesque, however staying at the Victoria was simply the icing on the cake. We have already tried to book again but there is no availability on the dates we required; had there been we would have most certainly stayed again!

United KingdomNothing. We are cat people, so were interested to see how the experience of dogs in the dining room would be - like everything else, it was extremely well managed and convivial.
We have long said that we would stay at The Victoria, so perceptions and expectations were high. We loved everything, even the fact that the Ancient House (in which we stayed) was featured in a BBC programme the night we arrived. A memorable stay - thank you.
