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 Dressing Gowns or slippers which we would expect for the cost of the Room. We got a last minute deal which I am pleased about as I wouldn't want to pay full price. Certainly not worth £284.00....

United KingdomThey was nothing.
We stayed one night at Derby Manor Guesthouse and absolutely loved our stay. I keep my decor in my house quite neutral and booked this as I loved the looks of the rooms; I was not disappointed; they were exactly as the photos showed. We stayed in the Grand National room and it was immaculately clean, very spacious, with a super comfy bed and a large bathroom. We loved having a full size, deep bath and the separate shower had amazing pressure! We were welcomed when we arrived with a professional friendly welcome and shown the bar and additional lounge room that guests can use, both which are tastefully decorated and it was such an added bonus to have this space. We were also given a list of local restaurants and cafes; we chose one of these (The Larder House) to have dinner at and it was amazing. Upon returning home from Derby Manor, I realised I’d left my coat hanging in the hotel room. I contacted the hotel and they could not be more helpful and even offered and promptly returned my coat to me (within the UK) free of charge. I would not hesitate again to book to stay at the Derby Manor Guesthouse and my only regret is that our stay was not longer.

United KingdomCooked breakfast very small. Dining room staff were too inexperienced to be left unsupervised. For example, they thought the hot water urn was ready when a red light showing, rather than realise that signifies the water is not boiling until the amber light. I explained it to one of them on the second morning as her colleague made tea the day before with lukewarm water. No staff to help with bags.
Lovely hotel. Clean, comfortable. Ground floor rooms.

United KingdomMy mobility challenged husband was unable to get into the bath to have a shower and we were also up some very steep steps that he struggled with. However, this was MY fault for not mentioning his mobility problems up front. On our arrival date late afternoon the receptionist was brilliant - really helpful and professional. The following day there was a different receptionist who we found much frostier.
The rooms were amazing - really lovely and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Location was fine but glad we had a car with us.

United KingdomThe water in the bathroom was not hot from both the shower & the sink. The bathroom itself was narrow & it was quite difficult to move about as the sink was large, high up on the wall & directly opposite the door.
Whole hotel was very quirkily decorated & in excellent condition, it was spotlessly clean. Our room, Aintree, was a good size, it had a small wardrobe, a dressing table & a very comfortable bed. Bottled water was left for us & a good supply of tea & coffee etc.It was a nice touch to have coffee etc available in the lounge at all times. Breakfast was good with the usual choice. Parking was free. A small garden outside which was very well kept.
