Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOur room was lovely and spacious and clean but there were a few small things we noticed like the mirror in the bathroom was tarnished, the front chrome cover was missing from the toilet roll holder and the extractor fan didn’t work in the bathroom. The furniture such as sofa and reading chair were a bit tired but functional The reading chair was very uncomfortable, a comfy armchair would have been more welcomed as you couldn’t really sit there and read for any length of time
We loved the age of the building and the original features. The bed was comfy and the food was amazing , the breakfast offering was so delicious

United KingdomOur room although a superior room was at the front of the hotel near to the road which was constantly busy and noisy. Room was spacious including the bed, but the decor and furniture were disappointing and in desperate need of a revamp. Was expecting something a bit more grand. Room was a bit basic but clean and tidy, bed was nice and comfy though the thick duvet in warmer weather is certainly not needed.
Long Melford is a pretty village, lots of interesting little shops, great place for antiques. Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall a short walk away. Beautiful hotel steeped in history. Food here is superb had dinner in the evening and the breakfast the following morning, coudn't fault it. All the staff we encountered were friendly and we were made to feel very welcome.

GermanyUnfortunately we stayed in a room that had a 'private' fire escape outside our room so we had a glass door instead of a window, but only a window-sized curtain - it was therefore extremely light in the room, which made sleeping in the early morning hours difficult. The pillows could have been more comfortable as well. We had an issue with the iron, we'd only just turned it on to use it and it immediately burnt a hole into the T-shirt! So use the iron with care (or not at all if you want to be on the safe side). The floors creaked a lot but that didn't bother us too much.
We liked the feel of the hotel and the location. The staff were really friendly, helpful and absolutely lovely. The rooms are spacious and our double bed was very large. We enjoyed the breakfast as well although we preferred the vegetarian sausages to the meat one ;) Cinnamon rolls are amazingly delicious, can totally recommend! Overall we were happy with our stay.
