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.).

United KingdomSome fixtures and fitting require some TLC
Hotel rooms are a little outdated but clean . The included use of gym pool etc was a massive BONUS of which I took full advantage. Lady at breakfast was wonderful and so welcoming ( Veri ) I think and a bonus she loved my aftershave ( hope she bought it ))

United KingdomThese are the things I didn’t like: - shower was dated - it would been nice to have water in the room - breakfast was disappointing, items not replenished, didn’t look appetising and lack of healthy option. Perhaps a separate menu to order things like avocado on toast, fresh porridge, scrambled eggs, bagels and healthier bread options. We would have been glad to pay etc. - the gym equipment is getting rusty, needs to be better maintained - none of the bikes in the main gym were switched on - lots of broken lockers in the ladies shower
The room was a generous size and comfortable.

United KingdomEven though it allows dogs to stay, which is great there were no dog bag bins available therefore everyone seemed to leave them in the trees and on the side of the pavement Also as we had a dog with us, they aren’t allowed in the restaurant, but it would be good if there were tables just outside the restaurant area to sit at

United KingdomHotel is very dated and in need of some maintenance. For the price and the area I don’t think it’s value for money. I went for a ‘privilege room’ and my colleague had a standard and there wasn’t much difference between the two at all. Robes and slippers were advertised as part of the deal to wear in the room and neither was provided. Someone had also watered down the shampoo to make it go further which was bizarre.
Staff were polite and welcoming and the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomWhen we arrived at 7.30pm in bar, Irene had done a lovely set up for us. Unfortunately the kitchen was only serving a limited menu, we were told the fryers were broken also and not much food available. The bar was busy with only two members of staff, and pointless serving one customer at a time, the young lad seemed to just stand at the till. There was a rather large queue gathering and people complaining. After 25 mins stood at bar, someone had taken the chairs from our resered table and we over heard yet more food was unable and the kitchen was closing at 8.30pm. We therefore made the decision to get a taxi and spend our money else where on food. The trip was to celebrate her 75th birthday. Having planned a hotel evening in as my mother is elderly and didnt wanted to stay and eat in (ie. Within hotel). Very disappointed. Paid extra for taxis to go out for food which we didn't envisage.
Irene on the bar was amazing! Set a little table for my mum and I for evening meal as was told the restaurant wasnt available & we would have to eat in bar area instead which at 5pm over the phone with Irene, we were happy to do. The receptionst on shift Saturday check in and Sunday check out was amazing also and very apologetic of the hotel failings.

United KingdomBreakfast was diabolical! The food was cheap quality & plastic-y - I could barely stomach a bowl of cereal and felt like I bought a £12 coffee in the end. There is a lot of mould around the pool area & some cracking in the walls etc. Shower water pressure was pretty bad, came out in a little trickle, meaning I had to take a longer shower. Also I couldn't figure out how to turn the radiator off so my sleep became quite hot & this is a massive waste of resources - you can't claim to be "sustainable" by taking away a sewing kit from the room when all your utilities are in constant use.
Nice pool with hot tub, sauna & steam room. Bed was big & comfy, room was a good size with sound-proof walls & all the right additions for a comfortable sleep. Staff were always at hand to help & friendly. Excellent location, only 30 mins drive to Manchester, lots of parking available. Really good value for money for the facilities available and overall my stay was good!
