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 KingdomFood was not particularly good. Chose fish and chips evening meal, chips were soggy and tasted as though they had been reheated. Fish was passable. Breakfast croissants were inedible, poor quality.
Spa, jacuzzi and pool were v good. Decking and pond outlook delightful.

United KingdomDated, shower in the pool not clean, shower head wasn’t cleaned so the flow was restricted, steam room not working, indoor jacuzzi was grubby. £6 a pint or £5plus a bottle wasn’t justified.

United KingdomSome areas quite out dated such as the bathroom. The hot tub in the lodge my sister stayed in looked quite dirty also.
The room we were in was small however this was balanced out by being able to sit outside the room on two chairs! Which was a nice touch!

United KingdomThe bedroom was much smaller than I expected - especially for the price and the neighbours noisy. The breakfast lacked the variety I expected. The coffee was cold. The gym was average. There were not enough staff. No one at reception when I and frequently guests were waiting for someone to man the bar - probably more of a problem when there is a large function running in another area.
The location is very pretty and the main building is good. The outdoor jacuzzi was lovely. The staff are friendly especially in the spa.

Great for a quick escape to the west Yorkshire or if your due to fly from Leeds Bradford airport as its near by Friendly staff Food was lovely and reasonably priced even with the 10% automatic/optional gratitude tip

United KingdomRooms, Spa would need a bit of TLC. In the spa area the dehumidification mustn’t woke as the windows and door frames rotted through, the walls are damp and lights and socket screws etc badly corroded. Public toilets basic, restaurant was very dark, food was basic. Very expensive for what I found.
Staff and cleanness of Chevin was first class. Location was ideal to be out of the way from city life. It would look amazing in summer. Reception and bar area looks good with the log cabin effect

United KingdomThe food was very poor, the soup was cold, the chicken was dry and yorkshirepudding was missing and when it arrived it was cold. Not very enjoyable at all.. The bedroom was executive but the facilities i.e the bathroom was outdated, the furniture in the room could do with updating as it was all scratched. The view was nice as it looked out onto the lake
The surroundings were very nice

United KingdomWe got there late evening and I was hungry but I felt that there was not really much choice re food in the restaurant. Also the restaurant timings for serving food were fairly restrictive in terms of it did not stay open late, so felt a bit rushed to decide whether I wanted food or not. In the end I just had some fruit that we had brought with us
The cabin we stayed in was lovely. Clean, warm and welcoming, perfect for what we needed, given the purpose of our stay. The surrounding woodland areas were also beautiful, it felt like we were not in the UK, simply stunning, just a shame we only stayed one night so didn't get to experience the spa and the rest of the facilities properly.

United Kingdomthe restaurant menu is ok, though it seems like posh pub grub! some more fruit options at breakfast would be nice
location good for Leeds airport. Hotel room small but comfortable; the wall and ceiling seem like log cabin beams! Checking in - reception staff seemed very busy in a long phone conversation. The garden lounge is lovely to relax in (tho a bit cold, in early March). The hotel can do free parking for a pre-flight stay. and there's a back road route to Sentinel car park

United KingdomI stayed in a cabin on my own and the front door had privacy glass or a sticker. I would have preferred a roller blind or something similar I felt a little exposed.
The staff were very friendly, the room was spotless. I had the best nights sleep, the bed was amazing and so comfortable.

United KingdomThe standard of food in the restaurant, at dinner, wasn't great. The fact that dinner came with our booking was a plus, but had we been paying the menu prices for the food we would have been less than satisfied. Breakfast was tasty - although a little cold.
The room was lovely. We stated in a deluxe-double, woodland lodge with hot tub. The room was lovely and warm. A few cleanliness issues (spider webs and dust) but nothing too concerning. Hot tub and decking was lovely.
