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 KingdomBathroom was tired and needs bit of work doing to it. Was woken twice in the night by noisy guests so as we couldn't sleep very well, checked out super early the next morning.
Room was nice and big, huge bed which was comfy.

AustraliaWe wondered how so many young people could afford the rates at the Lodge. There were a number obviously living there. We would have appreciated the information regarding their arrangement for accommodation at Bestwood Lodge. Also, it would be good to reserve a few guest parking spots for guests when a major event is taking place. The woman welcoming people to the event directed us to the bottom of a steep hill to park. We are in our 70's and have health issues making this not appropriate.
Wonderful staff and very interesting history. Location is gorgeous, surrounded by woods and walks. Breakfast was good with sufficient choices.

Good breakfast, wide range of products on offer. The hotel is very secluded hence was quiet, no traffic noise etc. Easy access into the country park which had lovely walks and lots of birds to see.

United KingdomMy room was exceptionally cold. Heating didn't seem to be working. It was the first week of December when I visited, so was a pretty cold time of year. There was also a large amount of ladybirds around the window of the room,and crawling on the carpet. Surprisingly as it was December. Also,thought my stay was quite expensive,considering it was room only,in which the heating didnt work. Would of been well priced if breakfast was included and a heater.
Location was beautiful. Hotel is a stunning old building. Bar area was lovely and cosy,with the real fire burning.

United KingdomRooms a a little tired, stained carpets although bedding appeared clean. Lots of electric extension cables as rooms are understandably 100’s of years old.
Character of the building. Open fire, chesterfield sofas and lovely forest walk. Don’t expect luxury- it’s a building needing a huge cash injection!

United KingdomOur bedroom was in need of refurbishment. it was a very large room that seemed to be furnished with items from elsewhere. There was little thought given to the layout. for example the only mirror in the room was so far from a power point that its use during blow drying was impossible
The Victorian public rooms were comfortable. The staff were extremely good.

United KingdomAlthough the maim building is great, the corridor to the rooms where I stayed smelt a bit musty and looked a little tired - even though the room itself was fine
The building is lovely from the outside and with a large free car park. There is an impressive double height atrium type bar and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The room and the en-suite were a good size. Also, I only had a bar meal but I went for the steak and ale pie which was excellent
