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 KingdomIt would have been great if the restaurant was open for evening meals. The taxi into town for food was £15 each way - we went to the Giggling Squid which was wonderful. More than one member of evening staff to attend the reception and bar area would be ideal too. We were in the modern accommodation blocks not the main house.
Beautiful house in stunning grounds. There were deer in the gardens. Staff were friendly. Bed was comfy. I loved the little museum explaining the history of the house and it's owner.

United KingdomIt is a little institutional; but then it is primarily a conference venue. Walls are quite thin and with lots of guests coming and going it is a bit noisy - but they did provide ear plugs.
Clean and as described. Very good value for money.

United KingdomThe 'bouncy' floor in our annex accommodation felt as if we were in a structure that didn't quite fit in with the other rather splendid things that are on that overall estate. Having asked for a quiet room, and got a very speedy response that this would be provided, it amused us to find earplugs by each side of the bed! Was that someone with a sense of humour or just common sense?! As it happens, the guests in our neighbouring room only returned at about 03:30, not being especially noisy but... just one of those things, not something you can predict or do much about.
The staff, both in reception and in the bar.

AustraliaRooms are basic, but that was what I expected. No mini fridge in the room, though basic tea/kettle facilities. Double bed was two singles pushed together, so you couldn't really lie in the middle. Worst thing is that the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours (we were woken up by somebody coming back drunk at 3am trying to get into their room).
Lovely property with a nice breakfast and friendly staff. The estate is beautiful and green and a little bit out of town which is nice and relaxed. Breakfast was a buffet with hot food (full english breakfast), fruits/yoghurt, toast, and pastries.

United KingdomWe had a couple of minor issues with the cleanliness of the room. Be aware that there is a steepish walk to some of the accommodation from the main building where breakfast is served, which wouldn't suit anyone with mobility issues (although there is parking nearby).
Fabulous breakfast and in a lovely setting. Room was small but comfortable. The grounds/lake are gorgeous. The main building is beautiful and the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming.

Location,friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. Parking was easy and the centre of Tunbridge Wells is close. The rooms are fine but they do remind me of conference accomadation (which in fairness this what it often caters for)

United KingdomThe only downside for us was the walk up from the main hotel to the annex accommodation after breakfast which was very steep. For elderly people and people with mobility issues, it would be better to drive down and park near the house itself.
Room was in an annex block and was extremely well fitted out and the bathroom looked new. Bed was comfortable. Had a delicious buffet breakfast in the main building the next day. The grounds of the Salomons estate were well worth exploring with lots of pretty features. It was also very interesting finding out about the various Salomon family members in the two rooms set up as a museum. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and informative.
