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 half frosted door for the bathroom, with the stairs down, you were able to see through from laying in bed, straight to the toilet, which some may not be fussed about, but I wasn't too keen on watching my partner, or being watched by my partner while we were using the toilet!
We stayed on a Saturday night, in the Grand National room. The room was large and had all the amenities you needed. The staff were really really friendly and took the time to explain everything such as the bar/tea room, and provided us with a list of recommendations for restaurants. The bed was large and comfortable, the bathroom was a great size. We did not have breakfast, so cannot comment on the food, but it looked very good! Nice selection of tea/coffee and refreshments.

United KingdomI requested a downstairs room with walk in shower due to disability both over the phone & as a special request. We were given a first floor room & although the bathroom had a walk in shower in it, it was accessed by steps with no hand rail. Was told they were fully booked & couldn’t change the room. After going back to the car, the receptionist stopped me & said that they could change it to a downstairs room with shower after all, which we accepted.
Breakfast was freshly cooked. Good choice of fruit, yogurt, pastries & cereal to start off with. Staff were very friendly.

United KingdomWe wanted to have a drink at the bar one evening . It says that the bar is open until 10pm. We arrived home at 9.45 and rang the bell at reception but the staff Had clearly gone home as no one came to assist us . This was slightly frustrating.
It is a beautiful building and the room Was very comfortable and relaxing. The bar area and garden was also very lovely

United KingdomI booked this for my parents as they were coming down to stay whilst I was in hospital locally having surgery. My parents can be quite fussy but they were honestly blown away and couldn't stop raving about this place for days afterwards. Said it was impeccably clean, super comfortable beds (again, they're usually very fussy here!!), homely, bathrooms were outstanding, that the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was sublime. They loved the decor too - not their usual taste but they couldn't stop talking about how 'cool' it was!! They have insisted that they will be coming to stay here again whenever they come to visit, so a real gem of a find as it's only 5 minutes from my flat too. So glad I booked them in here!! Thank you so much for looking after them ☺️
