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.).

Small issue was not being told where anything was when booking in. Nothing about how to book for dinner, where the bar was or restaurant -nothing about breakfast or a cursory mention of where anything is. Nothing in the room either. On check out, nothing about did you enjoy your stay. Only a small thing but the receptionist is often the first and last people you speak to when staying at a hotel and so can make all the difference.
Great location and really friendly and helpful staff especially in the bar and restaurant. Room had everything I needed. The food was excellent. Well presented and lots of choice.

Its set in quite an old building, so rooms are packed together, decor could be better. The bathroom could have done with an update. Unfortunately, all the plug sockets were the furthest they could be from being useful
Avis Park had ample parking and set in a lovely scenic part of the country. Room was large enough to cater for me and had amenities that I needed such as small fridge, ironing board and typical amenities.

The bed was very hard initially, and through no fault of the hotel the weather twinned with a very top floor room made for a boiling room, the fan helped but it was a very uncomfortable sleep. The floors all on the top floor were very creaky as well
Beautiful surroundings, lovely building, pleasant staff with lots of facilities to use

Overall the Hotel looked in need of some TLC and could benefit from some decoration both inside and out. Breakfast was poor and overpriced - On Sunday the Kitchen staff stated they had run out of Greek Yoghurt, red berries and butter. Also there were no plates or bowls for some time.
The room was fine albeit in need of a bit of TLC. The member of Staff in the Restaurant - Carl, was excellent. Attentive at all time to our needs and very helpful. Dinner was very nice on both evenings, well presented, and enjoyable. Plenty of Parking.

Been there a couple of times and its getting better. lots of painting and refurb going on but using the function room bar not the main bar for a huge hotel caused A LOT of moaning. The gym is just pitiful and needs redoing completely The outside of the windows are filthy!
Lovely setting. They are trying hard during refurb. Notable staff are the restaurant manager/ head waiter and young girl on reception/ bar/ doing just about everything

We have stayed 2 times previously at this hotel in their suites. The previous times the suites 1 on the top floor and one on the 1st floor were excellent. This time we were given the Houston suite which was nowhere near the standard of the previous suites we stayed in. Disappointing .
The grounds are beautiful
