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 KingdomNo water in the morning. Called for maintenance but didn't arrive so didn't get to have showers/ baths before leaving.
Plenty to keep the children occupied. Balloon modelling and face painting in the evening whilst we had a drink in the bar. Plenty of choice in the restaurant for both adults and children, left very full.

United KingdomAs always with this hotel they are always short staffed. Only one person doing check ins, despite the queue being literally out the front door. This needs addressing sooner rather than later. Waiting 30 minutes in a queue is unacceptable. Every time I stay here the computers seem to go down making checking in a protracted experience. Guy on check-ins who identified as the shift manager was dressed like he was hung over, come on youre the manager so smarten up and set an example to all the other staff who were floating around doing sweet nothing. Two of the sockets (room 215) were loose with dodgy connection so kettle didn't always work. Lots of slamming doors and kids running up and down corridor. Then the live band started up which vibrated through the floor of my room. Unfortunately this was the cheapest option on booking.com at the last minute so yeah not really an option. Needed more milk as only two tiny sachets provided in room but because only one staff member at reception who was dealing with a huge queue of check-ins I couldn't get more.
Room 'upgraded' when the room type I had booked strangely wasn't available. Big comfy bed. Bath in addition to shower. Managed to get parked close to back door.

United KingdomI didn't like the lack of choice for eating in the evening. It's a pity the bar didn't do bar meals rather than just pizzas and nachos. The buffet looked nice but we weren't looking for a big meal.
I liked the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where children and dogs are welcomed but there's plenty of space and room for everyone.

United KingdomRooms little bit outdated. Matress not comfortable, making lots of noise. There was very strong odour in our room, I think it was coming from the bathroom. Our towels were stained.
Localisation was fantastic, staff friendly. Swimming pool was a bonus, my daughter did swim every day.

United KingdomBar meals didn’t offer a lot of choice in terms of meals. - more like snacks.
It’s clean and tidy but a little too far from town (for me) to walk but there’s enough in the hotel to keep me busy for a night or two.

United KingdomOutdated and stale for the price you are paying and not the cleanest. Staff are overworked which means really really slow service but most of them were nice.
Good location and nice walks. Due to the location we did spend an extra night, but only for convenience

United KingdomOnce away from the lobby the hallways were a bit jaded with some areas of worn carpeting on stairs. Our room was warm but we couldn’t open the window as we were above some sort of machinery. A fan was provided. Food could have been warmer. There was a microwave there to heat food if needed. A taxi would be needed if you wanted to visit aviemore and wanted a drink. (To be fair we knew this when booking and didn’t bother us)
Traditional Scottish breakfast and cereals available with coffee machines and hot water urn for tea. Buffet dinner at night. Room was decent. Lobby and bar were good with entertainment on Saturday night for a few hours.

AustraliaOur room was a little stuffy and wasn't cleaned or towels restocked the 2nd night. Maybe we needed to request this, I'm not sure. But just needed a top up of towels and coffee items. I ended up getting these from the lobby anyway.
After reading reviews online, I was hesitant to book here, but the kids facilities were too tempting. I'm so glad I booked it. Animatronic Dinos, two nice sized clean pools, an arcade with VR rides and an indoor soft play area were all great. The communal areas of the hotel were quite nice and the location was great! Nice friendly and very helpful staff. Yes check in took a while, but this was because a whole load of people turned up at the same time. They get tour groups. The staff were quick and efficient working their way through checking people in as best they could. The room we had was a bit dated but clean. For the price we paid, this was definitely fair. Breakfast was good and a fair price. Beds were comfortable enough. I honestly think some of the reviews are coming from your groups that maybe didn't know what they were getting and expected a 5 star resort for budget prices. For a short family get away and a last minute booking We were happy and we are looking forward to coming back again.
