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 bathroom had issues The extractor caused the door to vibrate irritatingly so had to turn extractor off. The handbasin was offset from the pedastal by 3-4 cm - quite noticeable which left me wondering about the rest of the construction. The room had no outlook to speak of & I suspect (speculaate), was used as staff quarters & occasional overspill for cheap bookings
Breakfast & service was excellent. Staff are absolutely exceptional! The room had a very comfotable bed 7 was very clean & tidy.

United KingdomDrinks were top heavy on pricing, cost more than Cunard!
The parking arrangements were superb, but paying for both days was disappointing. Day 2 should be ‘take your chance’ with the advantage that you already found it! Breakfast was excellent, quite substantial. Concierge were all very helpful. Taxis were also amazing and cheap.

United KingdomThe Grand is a high end hotel so I expect to pay a premium. However, I found myself not wanting to spend the evening in the hotel due to a strange band (keyboard player and drummer not good) and very noisy wedding party coming into the guest lounge. Would expect more from the price
Rooms are clean, staff are very friendly and food is lovely.

United KingdomNo view from our window there was a permanent blind down. I think because the view was looking out at the back of the building. But as we were only staying one night this wasn't to important to us.

United KingdomOnly paid for inland view so basically no view, window had a blind that couldn’t be moved, would have been better to have a lower positioned blind, or cafe shutters, so you could see weather outside without having to manhandle the blind.
Excellent location, very “English” property. Rooms were comfortable and well equipped. Shower was large and powerful, no bath but not a problem. Nice evening turndown service and coffee/ teas were replaced after every room service. Fabulous outdoor heated pool, we were very lucky with the weather, and were able to lay by the pool even though it was only May. Staff were friendly and ready to help. Special shout out to the young man who was working the cocktail bar on the Thursday night. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

United KingdomNo side Seaview from the bedroom. I paid for room for side Seaview. They were all Trees. Really should be paid little less not having the side Seaview. That the reason choose it. There is less prices without side Seaview. Also it was first floor I expect high up side Seaview. Next time you must let know if you don't have side Seaview. I belived paid too much without side sea view. Sorry to say I was disappointed.
Lovely bedroom and bathroom beautiful pool outside and indoor also very relaxing having cuppa tea and floter coffee in different lough rooms very history pics & Massive. My friend enjoyed do her good break from her home she hasn't had a holiday for years. I organise for her.
