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 KingdomThe only small issue I would raise was the temperature of the room which was very warm due to the unseasonal hot weather. A small fan would have helped make our night a little more comfortable. Small issue!!
Good Breakfast very pleasant, room was as I expected it to be, would definitely stay again. Like the art deco appearance but would have liked to have spent a bit more time watching the aircraft.

Having stayed here many times before, we love the Art Deco building and the atmosphere created by staying here, we were going to a vintage forties event while we stayed so were dressed appropriately which always adds to the feel of the stay.

United KingdomDeluxe room had independent air conditioning and a good shower in the bathroom. I had a view towards the airfield which was facing away from the road so this is a good location to request. Definitely better than a premier inn so I would recommend for a business trip

United KingdomIn the 'non' quiet rooms, doors were banging on and off all night, which like a lot of establishments could be remedied by adjusting the door closers. Also, it applies to all the rooms (13) occupied by our party, the smoke detector flashes bright white ALL night,in a pitch black room it was very frustrating.
Booked hotel and function room for party, enabled family/friends to stay and not worry about time or driving. Rooms very nice with the art deco finishes, also the reception areas, wanted to swipe a lot of the pictures and ornaments. Staff excellent, which we knew from visiting the airfield/bar frequently for afternoon tea/drinks. Breakfast was very good.

United KingdomWould have liked it if they have started breakfast at 7am instead of 8am then we could of had our breakfast and gone on to the show, only suggesting it as I'm a diabetic 😕 and needed something to eat.
Room was very good, plenty of coffee and tea etc, even minis. Very clean, the housekeeper asked reception to change my room as my mobility isn't very good so changed the room to ground floor. We had lunch in the bar which was nice. Didn't stay breakfast as had to be up for mini show on the areodrome ground's.

United KingdomWe had a room at the rear overlooking the secure car park. I believe one of your regular guests was staying on the ground floor, with 3 dogs, kept in the 4x4 Hilux vehicle - which subsequently caused his car alarm to activate multiple times, making sleep impossible until well into the night. This car alarm noise was reported to the night porter, we never found out what the result of this call was, but eventually it stopped. Surely the person responsible should have had more consideration for fellow guests, and he was not happy when I tackled him about this incident the following morning. Can’t think why he was unhappy!. Very poor human being. Hotel should not allow this (known?) practice, indeed around his car there were plies of plastic bags, mess etc, it looked like he was a rough sleeper not a hotel guest - this ‘look’ was absolutely not in keeping with an otherwise lovely location. Sadly, our memory of a great trip to Silverstone was tainted by this incident . I did report this matter to the Receptionist also when leaving. In summary, guests of this type should not be allowed to adversely affect the comfort and enjoyment of others - and let’s be honest, their obvious expectation not to be kept awake for hours by the crass behaviour of a thoughtless ‘regular’. Would love to stay again, but I will check if this ‘regular’ cretin is booked in at that time.
Love the style and design period theme and feel. Love the aircraft vibe.

United KingdomOur room was showing a little wear and tear but nothing that isn't a quick fix and the restaurant for Breakfast on the Sunday could have done with extra staff to deal with the overflow of customers due to the car show.
The refurbishment of the Bar/Restaurant was very well done with attention to detail. Whilst the accommodation block was a new build and the rooms being on par facility wise to Premier Inn, Travel Lodge etc etc, it was the little touches that raises it above the rest and the shower was powerful enough to flay the skin off your back ( magnificent stuff). Special mention to the young lady on front of house of the restaurant on the Sunday morning (27/8) who faced with a tidal wave of walk in customers from the Car Show being held on the airfield managed to single handily cope with seating the guests, clearing and wiping down the tables and keeping the coffee/ fruit juices stocked.

United KingdomSome of the staff were very welcoming and friendly, but there were a couple who were not and didn't acknowledge us. A little more training for some waiting staff might be helpful. It might have been nice to have received acknowledgement that we have stayed several times at the hotel - e.g. perhaps a discount on our food or maybe a bottle of wine placed in our room. This sort of thing goes a long way and makes a regular customer feels valued. Cleanliness of the room could have been better, especially the bathroom.
We have stayed at this hotel quite often and we really like the style. The food is good - excellent breakfast and dinner. Our room was comfortable.
