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 KingdomAlthough all the staff friendly and nice, a little disorganised in the restaurant some guests where getting a bit upset, although personally our service and meal was good. Unfortunately when our room was cleaned, our bathroom was not and we had to request new towels, but this was soon rectified.
Nice breakfast, cooked to order, large well fitted Bedroom, every thing you could want. Nice recently re-furbished bathroom. Enjoyed a very pleasant evening meal well cooked and nicely presented. Would recommend and would stay again if revisiting the area.

United KingdomIt was a really lovely visit. If anything could have made things even better it would be some signage for the car park, from the road, as it was easy to miss in moving traffic. I also felt the breakfast was expensive and the ingredients in the cooked breakfast could have been better quality (e.g Thick good quality bacon instead of streaky well cooked bacon). The teapot was also really dirty on the outside which wasn't pleasant to look at. But to be fair, we could have asked for another one and I'm sure the lovely staff would have put this right.
Excellent communication, prior to our stay, and the hotel were very accommodating of our needs. Staff were all really friendly and helpful throughout the duration of our visit. The room was clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. The hotel was well located for all the local sights and amenities.

United KingdomThe noise from the fans and generators outside.
I stayed here whilst attending events at the Ludlow Piano Festival. I had liaised with the Hotel before I arrived to arrange a meal slightly earlier than when the restaurant opened in order to enable me to eat before attending a performance. The hotel couldn't have been more helpful. The food was also stunning (lamb shank). I stayed two nights and staff were friendly and helpful and my room was lovely. The ONLY criticism I have is the very loud noise from the back of the building which I could hear even with doors closed. This was either from an extractor fan or air conditioning but you could hear it constantly. I hope to stay again at this hotel but next time (now I know this) I will ask for a room at the front. Again - this is my only negative and why I have not given five stars. Otherwise it was lovely - especially for a solo woman visiting the town. I felt safe and well looked after. Thank you.

United KingdomWould have liked a small refrigerator in the room ..Or possibly a communal small fridge on each landing ..With fresh milk ..water etc We have stayed in places that offer this and its very popular ...
Picked the hotel mainly for location ..it was perfect right in the centre...car parking at £7.50 per night which was reasonable...Friendly greeting on arrival ...Room as described as it was the only one available we didnt have a choice on that ...Quiet Hotel except for banging doors first thing in the morning ...Not sure if that was possibly because we were on first floor ? maybe kitchen or office ? ....Breakfast was freshly cooked to order good quality ...Just dont ask for your bacon to be cooked a LITTLE more it came out cremated : )....All in All a nice stay

United KingdomNoise from the street. Rooms difficult to cool down without windows open - hence the noise. Bathroom was almost same size as the bedroom (!) Breakfast was meagre and the additional fees (parking and breakfast) seemed a little steep given the cost of the small rooms. Felt like it was a little cheeky on the hidden charges. Full English was tiny. Service staff at breakfast were “effective”. Not the expectation of the service anticipated given the price bracket and historical wealth of the hotel.
Exceptional History. Perfect Location. Very very charming.

Situated in the centre of town, so easy access to all the main places to visit. The room was very comfortable, good sized bed, very clean shower. Good choice of hot drinks in the room. Good sized car park. We didn't eat in so can't comment on food. Staff very helpful and friendly.
