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.).

I like the beautiful outdoor space, lovely garden and seating outside. Breakfast was good. even though there wasn't a specific vegan breakfast available on the Menu, they provided us with a nice vegan fry-up. The room was simple but had everything you may need.

United KingdomThe radiator in our room was out of action so we had a plug in that worked fine, the room was a good size and exactly what we wanted as a one night stay... Breakfast was exceptional, however, we had to request that the lights were turned on as we initially served in the dark!

United Arab EmiratesThe rooms are extremely outdated with no inside lock on them. The venue itself including the eating areas and customer toilets were very dirty and unpresentable. I honestly expected a lot more of this place. There was no staff present to clean the tables or greet any guests staying over night at breakfast. The were no lights on, tables were not clean or prepared. I had to actually knock on the kitchen door to find someone, very unprofessional. Such a shame for somewhere in such a lovely location, with so much potential that even boats Michelin stars on their doors. It came across as tired and as though people no longer cared about it. Hopefully my stay was just bad timing with minimal/ untrained staff.
The location is great if you are attending nearby functions/events at Braxsted park or alike. There was a good selection of teas and coffees in the room. The water bottles and biscuit were also a nice touch.

United KingdomLocation of the rooms no sound proffing so woken up at 8am with banging of gas bottles, people locked out of their room shouting, constant noise unfortunately. As your at the back no one cares as it can be noisy as you like plus there is a games room next door and outside facilities so can be very noisy that's the only issue. During breakfast having a conversation someone turned the lights off so had to shout to let people know were still here.
Atmosphere, staff, location, people all good. Breakfast was fresh and excellent with plenty of food and drink. Really happy clean room and well dress facilities. Everything in walking distances to get to. Brilliant staff and happy to help and go the extra mile to please customers really excellent service.

The location opposite the Village Green, and close to Maldon. The Staff were super friendly and helpful. The local clientele were very friendly and welcoming....even provided a Cockapoodle to pet! The food, I had breakfasts and Bar food, everything I had was excellent,,,for my first time I actually ate the salad garnish with my sandwich, the dressing was super tasty. My 3 night break was too short.
