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 service at lunch time was a little slow, we had to ask to see menus, ask to make our order and then ask for the the bill.
Room was beautiful, facilities were fantastic.

United KingdomIssues at the Spa, the pool and other facilities were cold. There was a sign on the Sunday but we did not notice one or were advised on the Saturday. Only my daughter and I bothered on the Sunday knowing it would be cold. Some confusion over the breakfast on the Sunday which was slightly embarrassing. Cost of some of the drinks was very expensive.
Staff were very helpful, we had a room upgrade and it was really nice. I even had a staff member help when I was trying to get my car on charge. The food was good and there was a good veriaty as we had 2 vegans in the group.

United KingdomOne of the main reasons we chose Luton Hoo was because we could spend the day using the tennis courts and spa. Unfortunately the boiler in the Spa had broken down so the pool and showers were cold and the steam room not working. We were given a 10% discount but had to ask for it; it would have been good if we had been offered it without asking - and potentially given a greater discount. The tennis courts were in very poor condition which meant playing on them a challenge. They really need resurfacing.
We had just got married and were on our honeymoon. The hotel kindly upgraded us to their honeymoon suite which was lovely with its wonderful comfy bed. Breakfast excellent. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location.

United KingdomThe landscaping needs some work, rock garden needs renewed, some items in the rooms were broken and could do with an upgrade such as taps, shower handles, AC controllers, but this is different from room to room and may not reflect everyone’s stay.
Great location, lovely staff, enjoyed Rob’s historical tour of the building, beautiful mansion house and breakfast room, lovely grounds and nice walks, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, great water pressure.

United KingdomDidn’t book bed and breakfast, no option to change at hotel quite then expensive. Extras bill had charges that were not mine, service charge put on all food charges ie 2 pints of Pepsi from 19th hole £9.80 plus £4.50 service charge that I ordered from the bar, fair enough when i complained they removed them but if I had not checked i might not have noticed 2 phone calls to reception to Rectify.
Lovely room, great pool and saunas, showers cold.

United KingdomMy partner enjoyed the golf course. The golf course could have been maintained to a higher quality, it needs a little TLC in some areas but this may have been down to recent wet weather.
Beautiful grounds and mansion house. Staff were so friendly, big shout out to Chris the doorman who was so warm and cheerful. The staff at Adam’s brasserie went above and beyond. Lots of great food options for breakfast and dinner. The gym had a really good selection of machines and free weights. The rooms were slightly old fashioned but we thought ours was beautiful and it had a really good amount of space.

United KingdomThe breakfast buffet was excellent, not endlessly huge (which always makes me wonder how much food is wasted). My wife is British, and she thought the buffet should also offer - marmite! That's, honestly, the only critic that we can find.
Luton Hoo offers generously spaced rooms, comfortable armchairs, not only for 1 guest, but for 2 guests - obvious, but in so many rooms designed for 2, there is often only 1 armchair.

United KingdomThe heating broke in the room and the shower controls didn’t work properly either so that was disappointing. We missed not having a jacuzzi, the vitality poor was bubbly but not very warm like a jacuzzi. That was really disappointing, we only used the spa once as a result of this. Breakfast- we were not told you could order off a menu, we definitely would have done that. Buffet was ok but not 5star level. When we booked we were told there were no dinner slots available at all, so we had lunch as our dinner in the amazing restaurant. But the waitress said residents should always be able to book a dinner reservation and she said she could do 6 or 9 pm, which would have been perfect so that was extremely disappointing. Terrible really.
Location excellent, building and grounds excellent, service excellent, room size excellent shame heating wasn’t working and shower controls were stuck on boiling hot. Loved the bikes, loved the restaurant, staff were all really lovely. Lunch food was excellent.

Stayed here for 1 night recently to celebrate our 9 year anniversary with my partner! We fell in love with the the beautiful location and architecture of the hotel. The spa was beyond perfect, and also the highlight of our stay. The fact that you are allowed to use the spa even after you check out is such a rare treat! Very kind and helpful staff!

United KingdomAfternoon tea experience was poor. Staff seemed unorganised. Food was OK. Could hear the neighbours.
The hotel met our expectations. Staff were helpful overall. The facilities were good and in particular the spa and swimming pool. We chose to stay to the mansion. This is the old, historic building. Rooms there had more character. On the negative said the heating units were noisy (at night) and you were able to hear the neighbours despite the spacious rooms. Food was OK. We found the room service menu wanting. By contrast, breakfast was good.
