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 negative paint was it was too hot overnight and unable to open windows as there is patio doors, I did not feel comfortable leaving them open all night as its part of the bedroom - Would recommend asking for a fan if the weather is hot and you are saying in the cottage.
We were upgraded to one of the cottages behind the hotel it was very clean hotel, The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was big with a separate shower and bath. The food was really good, we had breakfast and an evening meal and did not disappoint. Very well priced, Bar was very reasonably priced, and did not over charge. We would definitely recommend and stay again

AustraliaThe bed was a bit hard and lumpy, but was a good size. A long walk to the room and steps for older people carrying luggage weren't ideal with no offer of assistance.
A generously sized room and bathroom set in very pleasant surrounds. The room was warm and breakfast was very good. Parking was easy.

United KingdomWe didn’t get the room that we booked firstly. In Booking.com we saw the Superior Room with Annex. Beautiful! We had in our opinion a small double with a small outside patio. Room 30. This was not the room I paid for. It was substandard. Cobwebs in every corner and around the coving at the ceiling. Filthy skirts. Stained radiator. Edging on the bedside table was hanging off. My Wife tried many times to contact reception to no avail. They didn’t pickup the whole time we were with them. Black mould around the inside of the shower cubicle. Bathroom dirty around the flooring and edges. My Wife actually cleaned the bathroom before we used it. Shower was extremely slippery. As a disabled person I found it to be very dangerous as I slipped and luckily my Wife caught me in time. Carpet near the double doors fell short. There was a step from the room to the patio that was not obvious and warned about. Dangerous when you step out. Flag leading to the grass verge was unsafe. My Wife actually tumbled and her ankle was sore. Outside lights didn’t work.
Privacy. The grounds were absolutely beautiful. Exceptional. Chapel dining room was gorgeous. Had a lovely evening meal. Staff were fantastic. So courteous and welcoming. Young lady told us all about the property. The history. She was amazing. Unfortunately eating breakfast one of the cooking staff was a little confrontational with a resident.

United KingdomDoors banging, the food in the restaurant is below standard, we had red Thai curry which was a mistake, I think it’s just a microwave meal with funny not fresh rice and soft Popadoms. The dogs barking as it’s a dog friendly hotel and there are quite a few dogs about which didn’t bother me apart from in the evening when I was trying to get to sleep. It would be good if they just kept a section of the hotel for dogs away from other guests

United KingdomThe bed was two singles together which was great space wise but be both ended up in the crack in the middle over night. Unfortunately no way to turn the heating down in the room which led to a rather warm night's sleep. Bathroom was clean but could do with a re seal and looked a tad tired. Breakfast was plentiful but more basic quality. Not masses of parking so struggled to get in a spot in the evening when we arrived.
Great location although we didn't have a view of the lake the Manor itself was very well presented, staff were all very helpful and accommodating. Great facilities including the pool which I had to myself. Lovely grounds to walk our dog too. Just a short walk in to town but felt very rural and private which is wonderful. A lovely get away for a night here. There was great choice for breakfast which was included in the price.

United KingdomWe booked a room with an extra-large bed, but it ended up being two single beds joined together, resulting in an uncomfortable gap in the middle, which was especially inconvenient with our baby. Additionally, toiletries were not provided, unlike most hotels. While the breakfast was delicious, it would be great if kids' meal options were available as well.
The property was excellent, particularly the delightful outdoor area. The swimming pool was lovely, and the interior was also very impressive.

United KingdomIt's a bit outdated hotel and probably little overpriced, too, but in that area, that's common. Overall nice place to stay for a few nights.
Nice and clean hotel, very friendly staff and good delicious full English breakfast. Spacious bahrooms abut a bit outdated rooms. Check in was late but they allow us to leave our car at the car park. Lovely outdoors sitting area to enjoy coffee and pastry in the morning. Okay swimming pool.
