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 KingdomThe only thing I would mark it down for would be the mattress. It wasn't comfy and could feel the springs. I would expect more from such a lovely hotel also one that cost what it did. For the rest of our stay it was more than worth it. A better mattress would have made it that little more special.
Me and my partner were hugely impressed from arrival to departure. The room was amazing, the spa was so relaxing, the Asian restaurant was incredible and also surprisingly reasonably priced for such great food, the staff were all so helpful and attentive.

United KingdomOur room had a huge bed and sofa and the hotel was beautiful, especially the bars/lounge and terrace areas, which had lovely views of the area and lake. Service and friendliness of staff was fab, nothing seemed too much trouble for any staff member. Loved the spa, very calming and had more facilities than expected such as plunge pool, posh loungers, and access to the bar, plus all the usual sauna/steam room/jacuzzi's. Dressing gowns and slippers were provide in your room so you could just walk over to the spa ready. We were very lucky and were given an upgrade to a hot tub room, which was a wonderful extra for us. Location was also great, just a 4-5 minute walk down to the lake, bus stop and boat trip area.

IrelandShower in our ensuite had low pressure and was the only problem we encountered!
We had booked a double room with hot tub but were upgraded to a junior suite. Beautiful spacious room, lovely decor. Great friendly staff who kindly gave us a lift to the restaurant we had booked. Really lovely spa area with sauna, steam room and 2 jacuzzis...nice touch to have a bar poolside. Breakfast buffet offersd lots of choice.

The attention to detail and pure luxury. As we approached the gate and the gatekeeper welcomed us by name and wished us a happy anniversary. It’s these little things that make this place 5 star.

United KingdomThe food in the cocktail bar wasn’t the best, but everything else was perfect.
When we arrived, we had been upgraded to a hot tub room due to it being our mini moon which was such a lovely surprise. We were immediately shown around the hotel & everything was explained to us which was a really personal touch. The spa was absolutely beautiful and having the pool side bar in there felt like a really nice luxury. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, there was so many options! Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Mizumi restaurant was 10/10!!

United KingdomOne night stay wasn't long enough to make full use of all the facilities. Perfect for 2+ night stay. Bed was comfy enough, admittedly slept well but would have expected a higher quality mattress for the price
Fantastic views, quiet and private. Clean room. Staff helpful and professional. High quality from top to bottom. Great selection at breakfast. Unfortunately decided to venture out for food so didn't stay for evening meal but will be doing next time. Small double room was big enough for 2
