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 KingdomFelt the restaurant meal choices were limited, and there was little choice for special occasions. What was on offer was beautifully cooked but we were there for a special birthday and the restaurant didn't really cater for that to my mind. Sad as the service was top-notch and wine choices great.
Very friendly and helpful staff in all areas of the hotel from housekeeping to front of house. The setting was lovely, rooms were clean and comfortable, bed was gorgeous.

United KingdomParking was difficult since there was an event on at the hotel. Floorboards in the room above were very creaky which caused us some issues sleeping. The bathroom was a little old fashioned and could have been better designed to make use of the large space available.
All the staff we encountered were super friendly and a credit to the hotel. The location of the hotel was excellent within easy reach of the town. Facilities for breakfast and the bar were very good also.

United KingdomDining room prices very high although our food was excellent but small portions.
Fantastic location for shops, walking also a trip to Ledbury. Nice coffee in room. Only negative we thought the room needed to be updated especially the bathroom with the dated teak effect trimmings and the dreaded shower curtain! Not a criticism though.

United KingdomBathroom could need dome updating with decor but it was clean. Walk in shower would gave been nicer than shower over bath , but its an old historic lovely hotel so expect it takes time to modernise very old building.
Hotel is in a fabulous location next to the Abbey where we were going to a wedding on 14 th Sept . 3 mins Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Lovely old hotel , and comfortable bed, large double bedroom with massive ensuite . Beautiful view of Abbey from bedroom. Breakfast was outstanding and staff very friendly and efficient.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the room on the top floor was very poor, this affected the shower and the length of time it took to have a shower.
Location was great, lovely building right in the centre of Great Malvern. Enjoyed the breakfast, a little more fruit would have been welcome.

United StatesThe water pressure in our room was awful. I don’t remember this being an issue when we stayed on the other side of the building.
This was our second stay at the Abbey, we love the location and the atmosphere of the building, it’s very special. Initially it was booked up but I checked closer to the date. We haven’t had any issues parking there, when I was looking at other Malvern hotels ,parking wasn’t guaranteed which adds unnecessary stress after a long trip.

United KingdomWe had a basic room. The mattress and pillows were not particularly comfortable. Could really do with a bit of a revamped, especially for the money. Couldn't park in the car park as it was full so had to park on nearby road.
Lovely building in nice handy location. Breakfast was really nice, good quality and choice.

United KingdomThe bed wasn’t so comfortable for us , think the mattress type maybe? The toaster at breakfast takes a little getting used to and seems rather tricky to use and toast not getting stuck. Everything else was super.
Our room was a very good size. The bed was huge, a super king rather than the king size I expected. The bed wasn’t so comfortable. However, we got used to it after the first night. Shower was good and decor pretty good. Location 10/10, everything within walking distance and right next to the Priory. Very pretty setting. Staff lovely. Could not be more helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night and it was very good. The dessert was huge! Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices. The buffet hot breakfast was replenished regularly so no problems with items running low. The hotel was quiet and the demographic seemed to cater more for middle aged to older people when we visited and this was school holiday time. It felt quite tranquil so very relaxing. The bar area had plenty of places to sit and enjoy a drink and read or chat.
