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 StatesOur room was quite small and looked out onto a back corner of the parking area. But it was comfortable and we would return without hesitation.
The hotel was a perfect base for our 3-day visit to historic sites near Royal Tunbridge Wells. Chartwell, Scotney Castle, Ingtham Mote, Bayham Abbey, Chiddingstone, and Hever Castle are all less than 30 minutes away by car. The breakfast was outstanding, and we also enjoyed a meal at the cozy restaurant and pub that is clearly well patronized by local residents, always a good sign. There was ample parking. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe bathroom extractor fan was noisy when Itoperated but it only came on for a few minutes so perhaps I’m being to sensitive.
This is a loverly place to come to with an outlook across the village green also a bus top right o/s to Tunbridge well,Maidstone,& The charming town of Tenderton The Camden Arms serves a really good breakfast with a good choice to suite most people’s start to the day & loverly gardens to relax in to catch the sun & relax. Also a good record of local history in old photos throughout the bar area plus free parking makes a really good package.

United KingdomFood and wine overpriced. Decor is looking tired and shabby. It's in need of a freshen up, and fixings need replacing (the bathroom fixings rusty)
Very friendly and efficient staff. A great variety of drinks. Room nice and cool. Nice to have a shower rather than a bath with an overhead shower. Great selection for breakfast.

United KingdomDecor seemed rather dated and public rooms dingy. Could have done with a comfortable seating area.
Excellent breakfast and service. We had two evening meals from the same menu. First was excellent but second was a bit disappointing possibly because the restaurant was busier. Very comfortable bed and nice en suite and room very clean. Very helpful friendly staff.

United KingdomIt's really very minor, but springs in our mattress felt like they would be on their way out soon. We slept fine, but not the comfiest of mattresses.
Lovely stay at this nice characterful country pub/hotel. All staff were superb, so friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble and felt like they were all trying to make it an excellent level of service. Food was great, lovely cooked breakfast and we also had dinner in the restaurant on night of our stay. Room was very clean, maybe a little dated, but have everything we needed. Good shower.
