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 KingdomIt is dated but does give it charm. Limited communication between reception, hospitality, recreation and spa staff. Not easy to find out info so we gave up. Building work whilst there which was noisy.
It’s a great location. Lovely view (paid for room with view). Apartment was spacious and had all that was needed in it.

United KingdomThe hotel needs some TLC. I understand it is a period property, all that it needs is a coat of paint at some places in the ceiling where there has been water leak at some point and a carpet change. Although the furniture are dated, it is perfectly functional and comfortable.
Location of the property was superb. Spa and swimming pool facilities were very good. Our self catering one bed superior apartment was very comfortable and quite spacious with all the essentials with kitchen for a family of 3. It was located in the mansion house with a balcony overlooking the ground and the solent coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to return.

United KingdomCheckin was late at 5pm while checkout was early at 10am. Having to pay an additional charge for a high chair in the lodge.
Location and facilities on site. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in one of the lodges and having a self-catering option was ideal with a young family, while still being able to use the facilities of the whole resort. Accommodation was clean and well equipped.

United KingdomThere is obviously no sound proofing in the self catering cottages as we were woken every morning by the occupants upstairs opening and closing the drawers ( it sounded like a LOT of drawers) and walking around.

United KingdomWiFi was very slow, prices in the resort for food and drink were massively over priced. For example a pint of Guinness and a double pink gin and lemonade cost £26. And the food menu was not much better a steak cost £35. Found a pub just around the corner with prices more down to earth. The shower pressure in our cottage was very poor with the shower being very dated as well. Also I paid £74 for a bottle of bubbly and some balloons to be left in our room as a surprise for my wife. These were the most expensive balloons on earth as the bottle of bubbly left in the room was an £11 bottle from Waitrose!!!!!!!!
Was in a very quiet area. We had a lovely cottage which was very well equipped, tidy and included a self contained fully equipped kitchen, with separate lounge and sleeping areas along with a bathroom. Private allocated parking space was also a great bonus. Staff very helpful.
