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 only thing I didn't like was the Internet. Coz I needed to do some work on my laptop which didn't happen because of very poor Internet connection. If I won't stay again in this hotel the Internet probably the main reason would be. Secondly the taps are not the modern ones and not mixed cold and hot water together. So that's another downside. Lighting in the bedroom wasn't adequate. Toilet floor had some stains.
I liked the Scenery, the view from window. Heating, shower was good, bed was comfortable. Room itself was nice and comfy, nice sitting area and complimentary biscuits were really good.

United KingdomWe were staying as the next morning we were going on an organised bike ride and we and 2 other guests were informed breakfast would be available from 7.30. It was probably just a tiny lapse in memory that the next day was a Sunday but at 7.45 there was still no sign of anyone in the building to serve breakfast, so we all left without any as our event started at 8am. Also the double beds were a bit small for 2 people. The room we stayed in had 2 small double beds. The whole experience would have been much more luxurious if it had been 1 big bed. The room was big enough to have had a bed settee if it needed to be doubled up.
The greeting was amazing. Will was so kind, and although we arrived at 8.10 just after the kitchen had closed Will and the chief went out of their way to make sure we were fed. The entertainment was a surprise but great fun. I would have preferred it to have started and ended a little earlier as we had an early start the next day.

United KingdomThe communication before we stayed at the property was 0 I emailed and called ahead of our stay several time to make sure we could book a meal etc as it was a present for my partner and I wanted it to be perfect. So disappointed not to have any reply from anyone. There was lots of dirt and dead flies in the light fittings, there was no hairdryer and no coat hangers in there wardrobe all of which should have been in the room according to the description of the room. The last disappointment was the breakfast we were expecting a cooked option and we only had continental with the option to cook toast and crumpets. We had a meal in the restaurant and had to wait a while but we were explained that there was only one person in the kitchen, which we did not mind. The bar ran out of some of the drinks we ordered due to not being allowed to order as it was the end of the season but again it was explained to us. The place was lovely a few disappointments but all and all a nice place to stay.
The location was great for the walk we were doing. The room was spacious and comfortable. There was a bath and a shower which was a surprise as we were told we were not having one.

United KingdomWhen you're staying over, the rooms are located above the restaurant/ pub area where a lot of the caravan residents attend They blasted really loud music and didn't consider turning it down until we had to ask unfortunately which seems pretty inconsiderate to people hoping to get away from the city
I liked the location, was nice to get away for the night, friendly staff and the food was ok Decent choice of breakfast which was included

United KingdomDidn't like the long trek from Llangollen to the hotel. Much further than was indicated by Booking.Com The reception was a small table in a large room that looked more like a storage area. The woman at the desk finished chatting with her friend then rummaged around in a plastic bag before extracting our room key. She then gave us an invoice (I thought we had pre-paid so not happy with that. Turned out we had!) She led us upstairs and spoke to us as if we were either retarded or senile! After opening the room door- with no mention of breakfast or what to do in an emergency - she couldn't wait to leave. Dreadful! Breakfast next morning was appalling! Dirty crockery, curdled milk, anaemic looking bacon and sausages, inedible scrambled egg and hash browns, and no wholemeal bread. No teapots, just a big flask thing of hot water on a table with teabags etc. Didn't have any staff in attendance, so no one to refresh the hot water, or bring in more butter etc. It's such a shame, because the hotel is lovely, but the bad attitude of the reception woman and the awful breakfast is not doing them any favours. I doubt we shall stay here again.
The hotel is a lovely old Victorian style house in a peaceful country setting. Beautiful carved oak fireplaces, staircases and wall friezes. Every room looked clean and well kept (apart from the reception room and the two games rooms upstairs). Our room was spacious with plenty of storage and a lovely big comfy bed. A very nice bathroom, sparkling clean and big fluffy towels. It was quiet, warm and cosy. Perfect for a good night's sleep.

United KingdomIt is not clear where to check in so we hung around a bit and no one was there to help. The walls are not insulated so I was kept awake by the man next door snoring. The breakfast was adequate but no protein and all carbs.
The room was warm and comfortable. It is an old building so the wiring was obvious and a little clunky. The bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was good and the view was lovely.

United KingdomI take all this into account with the price… however my single room was in need of a huge update. The wallpaper was coming off, covered in cobwebs, the bed felt like it was just duvets folded up, there was mould on the walls. We arrived and there was a children’s party being held (not a problem) but there were snakes being passed around. The party was right as you enter the building and my friend has a huge fear of snakes. I get this is not the hotels fault but maybe could have been held away from the main entrance. We couldn’t buy food when we arrived, it’s served later.
The price was cheap and it included breakfast. It was close to the wedding we were attending. There was coffee making facilities in the room. The staff were lovely and accommodating.

United KingdomNo chef on duty in restaurant so had to go in to local town for dinner. Breakfast was acceptable only. I had written to the hotel twice asking for confirmation that a room could be on the ground floor or near a lift for disabled member of group; The hotel did not respond. Upon arrival it was clear that there are no rooms on ground floor and there is no lift in the property. Thankfully the staircase was wide and not steep so we managed.
Quirky individual rooms in a beautiful manor house located within a mobile home site. Staff were understanding and pleasant.
