Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe music at breakfast, 60s and Shirley Bassey, not to everyone’s taste. Lounge music would be more fitting, also the restaurant would benefit from mood lighting in the evening, far too bright

United KingdomBlack pudding 😀
Breakfast was good. The Tempus breakfast black pudding was bland but I do prefer a spicier black pudding. Our room was nice but lacked a full length mirror which my wife said would have been nice to have.

United KingdomSome of it was too high tech for its own good, and some design over functionality. Lighting system was unnecessarily complex - fine in your own home, but for a 2 night stay no one wants to spend endless time trying to sort which button does what, blinding each other or plunging into darkness against one’s wishes. Taps in the bathroom were beautiful but too low - to fill the kettle or to comfortably wash hands. And no response to maintenance issues raised re failed lightbulbs (in the lights we could have easily controlled!)
Beautifully finished hotel with large room, big bathroom with double sinks, separate bath and shower, and comfortable bed. Waiting staff were lovely and friendly

United KingdomNothing worthy of mention. The hotel and staff are absolutely first class.
Wow....where to start. Fabulous hotel, from the accommodation, reception, quality of breakfast, ditto for evening meal and excellent service from each and every one of the staff. You would be mad not to give this place a go and we can quite understand why it is a very popular wedding destination - it is superb. We had a fabulous family room as we typically travel with our adult daughter who has learning disabilities, so when I say the staff were excellent, they truly were, kind and considerate at all times. The hotel is dog friendly and has an array of additional accommodation, from Plantation Pods around a small lake and additional buildings dotted around the estate. It is like another world - very highly recommended.

Set in a peaceful location surrounded by countryside the new building seemlessly blends into the area. The entire interior of the hotel is colourfully decorated to a very high standard and the junior suite we stayed in was large, comfortable, luxurious and again beautifully decorated. Food in the restaurant for both breakfast and evening meal was superb.

Beautiful grounds, hotel, stunning bar and restaurant. Delicious amazing cocktails and evening meal. Lovely decor, comfortable bed and mood lighting, robes and slippers fabulous addition. Friendly helpful staff, we really enjoyed our stay, so much so we have booked to go again !

United KingdomThere’s a sensor in the bathroom for the light which kept going off on its own. We shut the door so it wasn’t too much of an issue. Check out is a little earlier than other places we stayed this week but not too bad I guess!
Room was great and comfortable, had a beautiful bubble bath and cosy robes to chill in. There was a mix up with our room as someone else was in it when we opened the door, but the lady on reception was really sweet and sorted the problem right away. She also gave us tips with where to eat as we hadn’t booked the restaurant and it was fully booked.
