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 KingdomThe main door was shut well before 23:00hrs, in fact well before 22:00hrs. Returned back to the hotel before 22:00hrs to find the bar closed, which was a little disappointing.
The Breakfast was excellent. The Bed was very comfy. The staff are extremely friendly. A very pleasant stay overall.

United KingdomWashing facilities in the room, very poor, plug in basin, not attached, so difficult to remove and release water. Shower totally inefficient, low power and really difficult to adjust temperature of water.
The restaurant was really good, food excellent if a bit overpriced. Staff very good and attentive.

Isle of ManIt rained a bit while we were there :-) Otherwise what's not to like?
A lovely country house stay, 16th century house and gardens, maintained well enough and no 'over the top' modernisations to spoil the feel. Very good food, overall great value for money and would definitely stay there again if in the area.

I asked if possible for a quiet room to conduct some work and I was provided with a spacious suite which included a separate office space.

United KingdomThe hotel could be described as “faded opulence”! Just needs a make over. However, there was no plug in the basin, bathroom shelf fell down and we had a chipped glass. It was a bit warm with radiators that didn’t turn off.
Spacious comfortable accommodation Breakfast was very good with an excellent choice of cooked dishes. Friendly staff.

United KingdomWe stayed in The Coach room (possibly coach house) & the noise from the room above was almost unbearable. You could hear absolutely everything - sounded like floorboards or laminate which don't absorb any sound at all. We'd expect a certain level of noise in a hotel but this was beyond. There were also building works going on in the adjoining room, builders arriving at 8am & although they seemed to be being courteous, again, you could hear absolutely everything including several car doors slamming directly outside repeatedly.
The hotel is stunning, the setting is gorgeous & the room was beautiful, the lady running the place was fantastically welcome & seemed to be doing everything single handedly! Breakfast was delicious! Bed was very comfortable & the shower was brilliant.

United KingdomOne of the radiators would not switch off in the lobby to the bedroom, but there was plenty of fresh air available and an electric fan on this warm summer evening. Staff assured us that the radiator would be fixed the following day. ~Everything else was truly excellent. The hotel has real character and history that makes the stay memorable.
The breakfast was excellent. Good produce used and a range of choices to meet most expectations. The meal was of a high standard altogether with bread and coffee being flavoursome as was the rest of the breakfast. Service was also excellent both at breakfast and during the evening meal, staff were well informed, friendly and very much as we expected from this standard of hotel. We both had steaks from the evening menu. These were cooked exactly as ordered with the tender beef farmed locally in Herefordshire. Our congratulations to staff and the chef! We had time to walk around this beautiful and historic building and through its extensive gardens to the lake. Our room, the Garden Room, had lovely views of the front lawns and trees and a comfortable four poster bed. Altogether, a really lovely experience and we would certainly visit again!

The full English was excellent and the location was ideal for my Work commute. Unfortunately no Evening meal served on a Monday so I had to visit a local Gastro Pub.

United KingdomQuirky hotel, more of a wedding events venue I think. Glorious old building .... larger rooms, high ceilings, traditional and well used furniture with associated old plumbing etc. - don't be surprised. Service was great and the hotel is located at the end of a single track tarmacked road so quite isolated. Although isolated, the hotel is quite close to the motorway, so there's a little noise, but sat on the small terrace outside the bar in the sun, couldn't hear much.
