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 KingdomToo many steps up to room. Bathroom fan noisy and no grab rails when showering and no bath mat but I’m sure they would have provided one but I forgot to ask. Lido pool had leaves and other stuff floating in it. Did not dine at the hotel so can’t comment on the food. No entertainment on in the bar until I requested some music on. Quilt cover on the bed looked a bit grey and had marks on it and the sofa was stained. Think there may have been staff shortages overall.
Junior suite room large with a good view. Staff very friendly in particular the lady from South Africa who served on in the bar on Thursday night.

United KingdomVery dusty in room , needed polishing the dust was embedded I think. The T.V. Control was filthy really needed a sanitizing clean. Especially with the New Strain of Covid starting up again. We weren't served at the breakfast table for breakfast, i.e. pot of tea & coffee. as a member of staff hadn't turned up. Though the Continental breakfast. was lovely.
Having a room suitable to our needs. Ground floor where we could park our car outside the room. We are disabled mobility etc problems. The large window in the room was inspiring where the gardens & the swimming pool were shimmering in the sunshine. very peaceful .

United KingdomThe only thing that was disappointing for me was the coffee at breakfast, it wasn't the best at all. I think maybe invest in a proper hot drinks machine.
We stayed in a family room which was spacious and clean. We particularly liked the balcony, somewhere to sit and enjoy the warm weather, and although it looked directly over the pool area it was still relatively private. There was plenty of choice for breakfast.

United Kingdomfalse advertisement regards the room and the appearance of the actual block where our room was
false advertising The pictures don't show that your room is actually in a block at the back of the main building "This looks like something from 1970s Butlins, holiday camp" However, the room was spacious, clean, and a reasonable size this is the only reason we didn't demand a refund

United KingdomThe food was disappointing. My wife's Caesar Salad was made to a bizarre recipe, bearing little resemblance to this classic standard. My fish finger sandwich was bland, dull, and meanly filled. To be fair, though, the chips were excellent. Breakfast was very limited, with self-service in a cramped and gloomy little side room. The coffee was nasty. This is a great hotel, let down by its poor catering.
A great bedroom with a balcony overlooking the pool, huge, extremely comfortable bed and a large bathroom. All spotless. The thermal, spring-water pool is a treasure.

United KingdomFamily guests seem to be situated in the 1960s (?) Extension of the original hotel building. In essence, this is fine but loses the charm of the original building in which we were expecting to stay. In addition, the rooms smelt slightly damp/under used.
The location was ideally suited for visiting Matlock Spa and Gullivers Kingdom. Plenty of parking spaces. Pleasant reception and bar

United KingdomSome of the facilities are a bit tired. Ironing board given to me was shabby and I wasn’t even offered a robe at the spa (I’m sure I heard the payment covered that).
Cozy room with very comfortable bed in a quiet neighbourhood . Room was clean and serviced daily and had everything needed for a standard bedroom. Staff seemed pleasant and helpful. Restaurant staff were quite attentive and helpful. Hotel is not far from train station and within good proximity to the main attractions in Matlock Bath I.e The Heights of Abraham, Matlock Aquarium , shops e.t.c. The lido was the icing on the cake for me. Enjoyed the swimming pool + very warm reception at the lido.
