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 KingdomCouple of rooms are on the smaller side . Wifi variable Narrow drive through archway at entrance
Having discovered the Brantwood we are regular returners , this charming traditional small country house hotel in a peaceful village setting maintains consistently high standards offering excellent hospitality from the owner and his friendly helpful team of staff is a true gem. Excellent food available in the restaurant and if staying over the weekend the exceptional Sunday lunch is a must . Cosy welcoming bar area in which to enjoy a relaxing drink . Outside garden seating area and on site parking

United Kingdomthe television was very small, not a major issue but would have been nice to have a larger newer model. the bathroom toilet has a water issue, it kept filling meaning I could hear it when sleeping. im a light sleeper so probably wouldn't affect many people. small issue. not a complaint
Room was clean and well decorated.

United KingdomThe paintwork was a little chipped, especially on the door to the room. This door was a bit lightweight which meant the noise of people moving on the (creaky) stair was quite noticeable. A higher quality door would improve both these issues.
Check-in was prompt and friendly and our room was spacious and cosy. The breakfast was tasty and the waitress was efficient and friendly. The hotel is only a few minutes from the motorway and in a nice quiet village which was lovely for a relaxing walk before dinner. Tip: The fuel at the filling station just off the roundabout on the way to the village is 25p per litre cheaper than the motorway service stations, and it has a wonderful deli!

United KingdomThere was low water pressure which meant the shower didn't work well. The bedroom we had looked over a roof and had no view and the window blind was badly fixed and didn't work. These were minor niggles as we were very happy in general. Some of the rooms had lovely views over the gardens.
The room was on the small side but the bed was big and very comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits in the room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with dinner. It was well cooked 'proper' food, lots of fresh veg and my husband said the beef pie was the best he has had in a restaurant. A nice change from the usual cheap chips and factory produced re-heated from frozen rubbish one often gets served with these days. Breakfast was also excellent.
