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 KingdomOur room was too hot, the heating was off, we had the fans on, windows open and it still was impossible to cool down what really affected our ability to sleep well in the room.
I liked the atmosphere in the hotel. Especially the social areas, main lobby, restaurant etc. Food was good as well, we enjoyed our breakfast and main courses. However I would have liked having the option to have a la carta menu as well on top of the buffet.

United KingdomVery small bathroom, had to climb behind door to shut it. First room they gave me smelt of cigarettes so I requested to be moved which they did but room was small, bed up against the wall and not a lot of storage. Bed wasn’t comfy and could feel springs and I’m not a heavy person.
Nice hotel local to attractions and location good for hiking but close to shops if needed

United KingdomThe bedrooms are very tired and definitely need a little love and upkeep. There is also definitely a lack of staff. Only one front of house staff member on the woodshed bar, it was lovely weather and busy and a rather long wait for drinks.
The property had an onsite fun house and swimming pool so was great for kids. You can walk down to the river which was beautiful. The evening music was also lovely to chill with the family in the evening.

United KingdomWe didn't have breakfast because of the cost (we generally have a light breakfast but would be having to pay for full meal). Dinner was adequate, considering the cost, though a buffet does benefit folk with bigger appetites!
Location was ideal as we could walk into the forests from the hotel. The hotel decor was a little tired but it was really good value for money. It was a real bonus to have a pool free for guests.

United KingdomIt is needing a bit of TLC as some areas were not too good. In our room there was no sink stopper and the drains were smelly! Reported it on the first day and nothing was done about it. Had to use perfume spray to make it tolerable.
It was in a good area.

United KingdomRooms and hotel were quite old and dated. The onsite restaurant was very expensive. Check in took a very long time given lots of other arrivals, and not allowing check in before 4 o clock.
Well located. Access to pool and gym.

United KingdomOur bed was solid. The woodshed was only open one night of our stay. There was nowhere to eat our second night except for the buffet and that didn’t sound nice. The bedroom walls are so thin you can hear next doors conversations.
I liked the woodshed pub

United KingdomThe dinner costing £24 was hardly matching my children’s school dinner. No fault to the chefs, but they were probably told to work with the cheapest available ingredients. Also 30 minutes queue at check in.
Location, but a bit spoilt by roaring dinosaurs. Room was comfortable

United KingdomThere was something poorly organised about the computer systems on checking in. This resulted in long delays of 20 minute queues at the Reception desk and also on ordering food at the bar cafe. The system needs simplifying we believe.
Very clean, free parking, comfy beds, very good quality furnishings and black out curtains. Professional staff who were friendly and efficient, mainly Polish workers I think. A lovely swimming pool and sauna to use for hotel residents. Needs £1 coin for the lockers.
