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 KingdomMentioned at reception about flies in conservatory dining room. They are aware of the problem and dealing with it - some form of fly repellent - natural or otherwise is needed as they were a nuisance during evening meal and breakfast.
Spacious comfortable rooms - good shower - good food

AustraliaWe didn’t like the fact that when the function room was in use we were unable to walk directly to our room, instead we had to enter or exit via going all the way upstairs and round the corridors to get to our room. If we had been unable to climb stairs or walk far then it would have been difficult. The food both in the evening and at breakfast was really mediocre. Rather untidy corridors due to various items being left in the way.
Apart from raucous guests in the bar area, the hotel was lovely and quiet and the garden outlook beautiful. We found the staff so helpful and willing to help. Our room was spacious and clean.

United KingdomThe hotel seems to run on very few people, so you may wait at reception or the bar - although all very pleasant. The breakfast was limited - the main offer is a good cooked breakfast rather than any buffet, and I like tea from a pot not a tea bag and hot water machine. The cleaning needs to target more hoovering, and cleaning the door edges.
A quiet setting, amongst interesting trees, and less than 10 minutes from town centre. A pleasant 1900 villa with modern bedroom wing - plenty of parking space. The room and bathroom were well furnished and fitted, although there was not space for an armchair as well.

United KingdomThe cooked breakfast was a bit overcooked but tasty nonetheless. The bed was a little firm for us but the room was perfectly fine for the one night. Some areas could do with a little spruce up especially the bar area .
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a very pleasant stay. The grounds were very well maintained and nice to have a morning stroll after breakfast….

United KingdomMy only critique is that the rooms were a bit warm without any air conditioning. This would not change the great hotel, installation may not be appropriate for such a lovely place..
This is a fantastic building set in nice grounds, relatively close to Bedford station. The rooms were large and very clean and comfortable, I had a great view across the grounds from my room. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room has all the amenities you need..

United KingdomBig safety issue was the hot water, it was scalding and much to hot to be safe. Very dated decor, curtains in room very translucent letting the morning sun straight into the room. No nets so when we opened the curtains there were people in the car park looking straight into the room. Bathroom in our room had white marble floor tiles which were stained around the toilet.
Great location, plenty of parking, walking distance to Bedford Park concerts. Staff were helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe bed was rock hard, too hard for me, but ok for my partner. The view out the window was down into there back yard so not so good. It is an old building so the windows have seen better days. .
Lovely hotel. Fantastic staff. Peaceful. The food was great, we only had a evening meal. Great grounds. Would come again if have softer mattresses.

United KingdomThe bedroom was a bit cool with only a portable oil filled radiator if it got really cold. In winter one would hope for the main radiator to work.There was no double glazing. Overall it suited us on the warmish night we were there but on a cold night it might have become very cold. Of course we could retire to the lovely warm bathroom but that had no bed in it!
We had the (cottage),4 rooms apart from the main building so it was very quiet and felt newly refurbished with an outstanding large bathroom which was a lot warmer than the bedroom.

United KingdomEarly check in fee of £20p/h ended up amounting to £60 (3/4 of the cost of the booking on this occasion) - I felt this was unreasonable given the room in question was already prepared.
Beautiful grounds - both peaceful and picturesque. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a little break from reality.

Very pleasant and helpful staff and a comfortable and clean room in an interesting and well maintained old manor house. I took the package that included dinner and breakfast and felt that this represented very good value.
