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 KingdomOnly 1 tiny minute detail - the car park isn’t massive! So although check in is around about 4pm, you can access the spa/bar etc so I advise getting there earlier to guarantee a parking space and then check in later on!
Absolutely stunning building, The room was spacious and very smart. Really nice decor and good sized bed! The hotel staff were amazing, Martin and Mark - both very friendly and assisted with anything we wanted! Including a free drop off in the Hotel Bentley! The spa was so nice, very high quality and the bar area was snazzy, almost like a movie. Will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay!

United KingdomAlthough we were very happy with the breakfast, other hotels in the area do provide table service with a more personalised experience. The breakfast provided, although great, didn’t feel the same standard as the rest of the hotel.
The staff were great and we didn’t have to wait long at all for service. The spa was very good quality and it was a bonus that it had a bar connected, however, could have been improved by a roofed connection to the main hotel. The location of the hotel is great within a short walk of the lake and the village.

United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived we were blown away! Not only is the hotel a stunning building and in a stunning lakeside location, the staff are super friendly. We were given a glass of Prosecco on arrival and personally shown to our room. We felt like nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed a cocktail that evening after making use of the pool, steam room and sauna and it was delicious! With views over the lake it was a perfect weekend getaway.

IndiaLack of ensuite in the bedrooms. Had to climb down a flight of stairs to the living area for the washrooms and showers. Our room washroom was particularly small and cramped. The other room had a slightly bigger bathroom
The room was spacious with a double bed and two singles in the opposite room. The living room was nice and had a great large screen television with smart features. The windows were automated and felt premium. The carpets and space was very clean. The breakfast was nice and spread well

United KingdomRoom could do with a fridge, the car park spaces were reserved at the front of the hotel exclusive guests cars and I was told to park around the back of the hotel and was blocked in by a van, the Penthouse suite you would have thought would get a reserved space, at breakfast we were told couples were not allowed to sit by the window as they were set up for 4 but other couples were allowed these tables.
The Hotel was every well set out and room was nice with a great view. Spa was a really nice experience

United KingdomThe only thing we weren't overly impressed by was the spa. It was very dark and quite small. It was quite busy and we couldn't find anywhere to sit. Brighter and more light would have been a lot better.
The location was stunning. The views from our window were beautiful. The terrace was lovely to sit on at night. The staff in the terrace bar were so nice and helpful. Our room was comfortable and very clean.

United KingdomThere wasn't a thing we didn't like about our stay.
This hotel was absolutely stunning, so clean, it's in a fantastic location and the staff were all so friendly and so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The spa was incredible, so calming and really clean. We had a couples massage which I would highly recommend if you're visiting with your partner. We had such a perfect stay here and we will absolutely be returning soon (we're already planning our next stay).
