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 KingdomThis is a very minor quibble, but I wouldn't have minded if breakfast was served till at least 10:30 am, if I wanted a longer lie-in. But, as mentioned, this is a very minor issue.
Breakfast choices were excellent and plentiful. Well cooked and beautifully presented. The hotel restaurant was lovely with beautiful views of the countryside. My room was clean, quiet, comfortable with excellent shower and black-out blinds. Sparklingly clean. The hotel/Castle is so lovely and has beautiful grounds. The staff are so friendly, professional and accommodating.

Outstanding property with spacious garden surrounds, No expense spared in furnishing inside and out. The rooms were great and furnished in period style to suit the castle. So much to see inside and out. Dining was perfect and staff exceptional and very attentive. Family run business that ensures the customer experience is the best.

United KingdomThe food whilst acceptable was limited of menu choice and would benefit from an association with a named chef whose name is nationally and internationally recognised- to do justice to the building, the location and the castles reputation. Also the addition of twin bedded rooms would provide greater choice for older people who have sleeping dificulties
The breakfast was 10/10 quality and choice

United KingdomThe whistling sound outside when the wind was high. Took a while to fall asleep and woke us early in a morning as it was very loud right outside our window. Not sure anything can be done about it. But that is the only thing. Everything else was perfect.
Everything was excellent. All staff were friendly,polite and helpful. The food was amazing and the castle was spotless. A real enjoyable stay. Will definitely return.

United KingdomThe double bed was very small and short and for a long stay the room and wardrobes were minute There wasn't a single shelf in the shower cubicle and the controls had been fitted on the wrong side of the shower door meaning you had to fully enter the shower to reach the controls rarher than having them at hand as soon as the shower door was opened. I also thought the internal wooden panelling was somewhat cheap and tatty and did not become 'A Castle'
The breakfast and service there was very good. Obviously the locatiin was very good.
