Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

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!

United KingdomNothing, if walking is a problem them mention it at booking bad there are some steps. Lots of dogs which I love - but also might be worth knowing in advance.
The location is beautiful, we booked a room with a view which is worth it. Lovely staff, great restaurant. We had an evening meal and breakfast.

RussiaStaff seem mostly indifferent, I told the hotel I’m celebrating my birthday and I didn’t get anything complimentary, - I was expecting a little chocolate or something, but nothing. Staff isn’t helpful or proactive In the bar I got whiskey in a half pint beavertown glass with crushed ice - very weird
Amazing resort, beautiful scenery, breathtaking views, lots of walks around. Room was spacious, bed was comfortable (even though it was two beds put together rather than 1 solid bed), interesting spin on the heaters - artwork on the walls (the blue indicator is too bright though and I had to figure out how to hide it) Food is great as well, not exceptional though

United KingdomThe food at dinner felt over-priced for what it was Additionally at breakfast the queue for food was really long, partly due to the poor layout as it was not clear who was queueing for what There is a stile to head over to Rutland Water which was a little difficult to find and could have been signposted better. We were a little disappointed/confused to find that the hotel is only on a short section of Rutland Water but maybe that was us not doing sufficient research before
Lovely hotel will lots of accommodation options, staff were very friendly. Lovely location

United KingdomHotel reception did not answer my several attempts to telephone them the day before our visit and when we arrived we realised why. There was only ever one receptionist on duty, even at peak times and there was always a queue to be served. All the time she was dealing with customers, we could see the telephone ringing continuously but no one answered it. Several people in the queue gave up waiting and left. I consider this to be a significant failing. Whilst the food in the Blossoms Restaurant was good, the fact that we had to attract the attention of staff several times throughout the dinner meal to prompt them to do things detracted from the experience.
Very comfortable, well appointed room with a wonderful view across Rutland Water. The food was good.
