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 costs in the restaurant. Staggering starter costs. Mains needed extra veg to be satisfying. Food looked lovely but underwhelming. Restaurant tables rather close together. Breakfast lacked options to the Big English traditional breakfast. Eggs Benefict etc needed please. Eggs were cold plus scrambled.
Loved the setting and our room. Bed comfortable though new mattresses need to be on the horizon for change. Rooms in hotel are very very dark. Facilities very good. Lovely to have lift for my mobility issues. Excellent bathroom. Staff we met were excellent polite and accomodating. Thank you

United KingdomIt took a while to get our drinks, but when the drinks did arrive, they were amazing.
The room was amazing. Jr. Suite with balcony and lake view. The view of the lake was obstructed by the trees, but if it was the fall season. The view would have been perfect!

United KingdomStaff were overwhelmed, trying to multi task, service was ok but not exceptional - none of the staff were rude or disrespectful, very hard working, but clearly doing lots of jobs all at once and customer experience was not the priority. There was an emergency exit light directly out outside our window (first floor in the hotel), which we understand is absolutely necessary, but a black out blind would have helped in the room. Also no bar snacks after 5:30pm, we'd broken down on our way there and didn't want a full meal by the time we arrived, this was non negotiable it seemed.
Location was beautiful, hotel has a traditional feel and aesthetic with the original hall but the rooms in the adjoining hotels are modern, the lake is gorgeous and the restaurant also very modern.

United KingdomAdvertised as a Spa Hotel. Spa facilities have been closed since December according to the receptionist on checkout due to refurbishment. Only a very tired looking pool available. We would have appreciated being told this before we booked.
Beautiful location, room was lovely looking out over the water.

United KingdomBooked Afternoon tea in Blossoms restaurant, and we were a bit disappointed with the offerings. The sandwiches were a bit dry, and there were no choices of teas offered. Breakfast times could have been later , everything was removed by 09.30
Beautiful setting and grounds ,right next to Rutland water. Room was large and beautifully furnished and decorated. Bed was extremely large and comfy. Well stocked hospitality tray and good coffee machine. Nice view from patio doors. Plenty of choice at breakfast .

United KingdomThe room was deluxe but we were disappointed with the quality of the shower. The water pressure was minimal and the shower head couldn’t be adjusted to get fully wet. Shame really as otherwise the bathroom size and facilities were great. The only other issue was othe amount of pigeon poo on the balcony beneath the handrail. I understand it it difficult to prevent them from sitting on the rails but it didn’t look like any attempt had been made to clean up the balcony recently. Seeing the poo did detract from the scenery.
The location is very scenic and ideal for exploring Rutland. The hotel grounds are well maintained and despite the inclines between buildings we didn’t find getting around too difficult. The room was a good size, with a large bed and good sized bathroom. The room also had a balcony which looked out over Rutland Water and a couple of seats to relax and watch the setting sun.

United KingdomOnly one person who was serving alcohol behind the bar, during the day, totally over worked and couldn't cope with any kind of a queue. Should really have a dedicated cocktail person and table service would have been nice.
Room was super however, there was no heating other than a fan heater mounted on the wall in the bathroom. Might get very cold in the winter was amazed there were no radiators in the room. Also there was an electric towel rail in the bathroom.

United KingdomThe restaurant/ bar was a little tired and the staff appeared very young and inexperienced . At one point, I ordered a coffee, and it arrived without a spoon. Apparently, they had difficulty locating one ? By the time one arrived, the coffee was cold. Room for improvement, I'd say.
The room was lovely, and the bed was comfortable . The grounds , buildings,and location very nice ,overlooking the lake.

United KingdomI had to search hard for something I didn't like, and it's small, but the pool and gym weren't available until 7am and closed again at 7pm, it meant there was only very small window for using those facilities. I'd have loved a gym slot to be available at 6am...but I don't think that's everyone's cuppa tea!
The hotel is in a superb location, very peaceful, most rooms would have a lovely view of the lake (like mine did). The staff were all super friendly and the food was excellent. Plenty of great drink selections at the bar, including non-alcoholic options. Great facilities, crazy golf, gym, pool and lots of neighbouring walks and rides. Loved the added touch of a yoga mat in the room!
