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 KingdomNothing. All aspects of our stay were very good.
Excellent dinner, the hake and samphire dish was top class and would sit comfortably in a fine dining restaurant. Comfortable and spacious room in the annex.

United KingdomThe staff were clearly overworked during dinner on 24 July due to pressure of other parties, but a 40 minute wait between courses is not acceptable.
Everything generally very good as per our last visit in September 2022.

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit disappointing. Poached egg was snotty and sausage could have been cooked with a bit more colour on it. I am aware That's just personal preference. It tasted nice just a few improvements.
Loved the hotel, the room was beautiful. Bed was really comfy. Dinner was very tasty.

United KingdomCharming rooms which was spacious but very tired looking it needed attention to table, the bed caster was missing which resulted in the bed base slightly uneven in height. Colour scheme very nice but the paint work needed completely redoing. Menu for evening dinner was very limited if staying more than two nights. The reception area was extremely cramped which gave the impression of awkwardness however the reception staff was very friendly and helpful
Friendly staff who were very helpful. Food delicious and well presented. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Very peaceful for a relaxing break

United KingdomIt’s not a question of we didn’t like the food, it was more that we thought little tweaks could have been made. The dinners were mainly tasty and well presented, though I had the same starter on both nights and the presentation was different on the second night. I guess it could have been a different chef or maybe they’d had a delivery of fresh produce? My husband’s meat was a bit chewy both nights The portion of smoked salmon at breakfast was very generous It would have been nice to have had a better quality bread for the toast at breakfast as The Dower House prices are not on the cheaper end of the scale. It’s a small thing to criticise but is the reason I didn’t give excellent for everything.
The staff were all friendly and helpful. We were pleased to see a fan in the room because it was a very hot day. Menu choices were varied on the evening menu. Parking was plentiful and near the part where we were staying and there was a lift to the first floor, much appreciated. We came for a quiet break and as it was Sunday/Monday we got one.

United KingdomThe water temperature in our bathroom was tepid which naurally took the edge off our enjoyment of the lovely, spacious bathroom. (Ironically, there was a warning sticker on the basin warning of extremely hot water.) We reported this to Reception on checking out in the morning.
The architecture and two-acre landscaped gardens were very much appreciated. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't eat a meal in the hotel, Didn't eat a meal in the hotel but the coffees we had were excellent.

I did not like the bunch of scruffs outside at the back.Noisy, untidy, too much smoking, very down market crowd.Not commensurate with Hotel image. Location superb. Room excellent. Spotless. Hoping to return next year.
