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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Very peaceful location in lush grounds. All food excellent and the restaurant fully deserves its star rating. Hotel beautifully appointed. Several rooms are on second floor up steep steps - and no lift. Comes with the territory of the hotel being a quirky Victorian villa

United KingdomAlthough tea and coffee facilities were available I didn't see any caffeine free/herbal teas available in the room. The breakfast didn't start until 8am which was a bit too late for me as I had to get away for a meeting.
Beautiful location and rally helpful and friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable. The ensuite seemed like it had been fairly recently refreshed and was very good.

United KingdomThere was a car charging socket in the car park but the charge was outrageous to charge a hybrid car. Staff/manager didn’t seem bothered to consider £3 cost to charge a hybrid car and only offered a standard £25 charge. Indifferent receptionist upon departure didn’t ask if we enjoyed our stay.
The room and view were very nice. The breakfast was exceptional and value for money with very friendly waitresses. Lovely quiet and scenic location.

United KingdomOnly few things I would like to mention here. The pillows were bad quality not up to standard, uncomfortable to sleep on and that is quite important when staying at the place like this. I think the decoration could have been a bit more stylish and also the bathroom was very modern, but didn’t really match the room. Some staff were polite but not very friendly to start with. Over time that changed a bit.
The manor situated in a lovely area with beautiful sea views. We stayed in a room, that had a private entrance with a private terrace and a jacuzzi hot tub. The room was spacious,clean and comfortable with a large bathroom. I loved the bed. The food we had in the restaurant was excellent and worth every penny. Staff were great most of the time.

United KingdomThe only issue I had was the wifi in our room, which was right at the top of the manor house, room 12, was very weak. Not strong enough to watch a film in bed when we retired to the room.
Check in was smooth and our room was beautiful. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I love the older listed type buildings and this did not disappoint. Beautiful sea view from the terrace and I was in owe at the decor & furniture! Breakfast set up was plentiful. Choice of Cooked or continental. Everything you could want. Our bed was so comfortable and there was no noise at all, we even had the windows open!

United KingdomWe felt that more could be done to encourage restaurant staff towards more engagement with residents. We sometimes felt our existence was ignored. A little more acknowledgement with some smiling eye contact would have assured us that despite being busy, we were not forgotten!
Beautiful secluded spot in this country house hotel, with lovely gardens and very good food for both dinner and breakfast. Clean and comfortable, though not exceptional, still a very good hotel.
