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.).

GermanyThe rooms could do with a little updating. Our bathroom vanity/mirror seemed at the end of their lifespan. The windows also were already a bit damaged. Because of that, the rooms fell less clean than they probably are.
The service was outstanding. A hair dryer was missing in our room, and after a quick call at the reception, someone brought over one within 5 minutes. The breakfast was great, too, as were the beds.

United KingdomThe Garden room I was in is in need of redecoration, new furniture and bathroom upgrade. It was functional but looks very dated. Walls need repaint and limescale around the shower definitely requires removal. Water pressure could also do with a boost.
The main building and gardens were stunning. It was very peaceful. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive.

United KingdomThe view was not a garden view, but car park and brick wall. Drive way up to the house, full of pot-holes.
The location was very idyllic, and easy to find by following the brown signs. Nice grounds to walk through The room was very large and spacious, bed very comfortable and good for a person with a bad back. Good breakfast, with a good selection in the main house and very light and airy. Staff, welcoming and friendly. We were in the Garden Rooms to the back, which did mean we didn't hear the party going on in the main house. Would definitely go back if in the area.

United KingdomNothing.
Everything. A unique property, a privilege to stay anywhere like this. The staff matched the property, every one of them that we met were super friendly and so efficient. They were also so accommodating and always with a smile 😃. The grounds are spectacular as is the house. The guest toilets on the first floor are probably the freshest we have ever seen. The food was very good, cooked breakfasts were super. In places It has got a bit of a "faded glory" aura about it, but this does not detract from its charm. Just ignore the fact that our bedroom windows had definitely seen better days! Go and enjoy it!!

United KingdomIt was difficult to access the bar and restaurant area in the morning for coffee. I arrived at 9 AM, but the doors were closed. Access should be easier for hotel guests or clearly explained during check-in.
The terrace was fantastic for enjoying a drink or meal. The room was clean and comfortable, but noise from neighboring rooms made it easy to wake up. Additionally, the car park needs improvement, as there is no space left between the cars.

United KingdomService tended to be very slow - the hotel is understaffed. We would have liked a dessert after our otherwise excellent meal on the first night, but, after being offered the pudding menu and made our choices, 15 minutes later still nobody had come back to take an order. We settled the bill in the bar, then ate elsewhere the other two nights. Breakfast on the Saturday morning was poor - the "smashed avocado... on home-made bloomer" was an under-ripe avocado which had been sliced on a piece of toasted sliced white bread. Disappointing, as the bread with our meal the night before had been excellent. Porridge was of gruel-like consistency, it could have been poured from a cup - I left it. We asked at reception if we could cancel breakfast for the following two mornings but were told that, having booked through booking.com that wasn't possible (really?). However, the helpful lady on reception made a note of the problem and insisted that, if breakfast wasn't properly done the next morning, to "send it back and get them to do it again". Somebody obviously got the message, breakfast the next morning was very good (even if the presence of a pork sausage in the "vegetarian breakfast" was unexpected - we aren't vegetarian, so it wasn't a problem, but I suspect for one who was, it would be...) At this price point we expect a small fridge with some fresh milk - a plastic tray with two sachets of Nescafe instant coffee, some tea bags and plastic cartons of UHT milk doesn't cut it. A cafetiere was provided - although tantalizingly with no ground coffee on the first day, two sachets of caffeine-free coffee arrived the following day.
We enjoyed an excellent starter and main course in the restaurant on our first night. The staff were friendly and helpful, with one lady going out of her way to find us some pictures and show us rooms relating to W.S.Gilbert, one of the reasons we had wanted to visit the house. The house itself is well looked after, the gardens beautiful, the location tranquil. The hotel has plenty of car parking - given the location of the hotel, up a long private drive and well away from the road, along with good lighting and CCTV, it felt a secure place to leave our car. Despite its shortcomings - see below - we did enjoy our stay at Grim's Dyke and will visit again in the future. A little extra care and effort would bring it up to the four star experience that the house deserves.
