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 KingdomCould have been more signage for hotel guests on arrival. Its a large complex and driving in we missed the reception and had to drag luggage back from the car a fair way.
The location was great for a stopover for a night. Good size room which was very comfortable. Used room service which was very efficient and the breakfast which was included was excellent. Lot of sporting facilities which we didnt have time to use but appeared to be very popular. Easy check in/out

United KingdomThe room was comfortable but the beds were uncomfortable and on wheels that didn't lock, which meant that they were slipping around every time we tried to sit on them. The room was very stuffy with only one window opening a tiny bit so we found ourselves quite hot most of the time (and we had the one little fan on that was provided by the hotel). Ample of cupboard space but the layout could be a lot better. There was 1 chair and the TV was in a position where we were unable to all view it comfortably. Could do with a second bedside table too, as it was a triple room. There were also a lot of spiders around, with several on the ceiling at any one time. Understandably it's an old building but we had housekeeping attend every day but the spiders remained hanging above our heads.
The hotel is within a gorgeous castle-looking building and is in a great location if you want to visit Highclere Castle (about 20 minute drive away). The grounds are also gorgeous but not walkable as there are golfers constantly on it.

GermanyIt was a room with two beds pushed and linked together. We were hoping for one big mattress to cuddle up. But one of us always got stuck in the middle because the two single mattresses were not the same height and one of us rolled back from the higher part... :o) Sleeping well apart supported a better sleep for me though, so no complaints in the end. *laugh*
Really enjoy everything and I love staying here. Location is perfect and silent and beautiful. The front summer houses have very spacious rooms, so you can spend even the rainiest day in comfort and do a lot inside. Lovely bathroom, lots of windows and daylight in the room. Tea and coffee available. Breakfast is offering a lot of choice and it is a very nicely decorated room with windows to the garden/golf place. All staff we meet and spoke to were lovely, ever so helpful and friendly. That makes _such_ a difference to my day!! Thank you all, from cleaning ladies to breakfast staff and receptionists. <3 So silent at night that I have slept extraordinarily well. It is a place to really wind down and relax.

MaltaThe rooms and interior could use some revitalising however keeping in mind the age of the property we had no complaints!
The grounds of the hotel are absolutely stunning! The drive through the golf course to the hotel is amazing, we were blessed with good weather throughout our stay and therefore got to enjoy the scenery on offer!
