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 KingdomThe only thing I can think of (and it's barely a negative) is that the coffee machine is a nespresso, and there were no instructions on how to use it. As someone who doesn't have a nespresso machine it was a bit of a mystery at first. Oh, and if you're having a drink downstairs they don't have beer on tap. But they do stock bottles and cans.
The place itself is lovely, with a great car park. The room was beautiful; really nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. The tea and coffee making facilities in the room were well stocked and the fridge came with milk instead of UHT (whoop!). The staff were all super friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was amazing.

United KingdomThe room at the front of the hotel was lovely but if you like quiet, you're best spending a little bit more on the bigger room at the back of the house. Both rooms were beautiful!
What a fabulous place. We ended up in the bigger room at the back of the house away from the road and it was so big and roomy, with a lovely lounge and a terrace to spend time on. It was very comfortable with good pillows etc, and some lovely detail around the room. The breakfast was delicious and very much worth buying. We also ate in the restaurant in the evening and I can honestly say, it was spectacular. One of the best meals I've ever eaten in a restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The food was exceptional. We would go again in a heartbeat. There were some lovely little details in the room like brownies on arrival and fresh milk rather than those little UHT cartons, and a good coffee machine.

United KingdomDidn’t affect us but there wasn’t much clothes hanging space if staying a few nights.
Stayed just the one night to see family but the proprietors/staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Even offered to carry our bags up to our room. The room was clean and beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Great shower and very comfortable bed. We didn’t eat there in the evening as we were meeting family but the breakfast was outstanding. A very enjoyable stay.

The room was immaculate, spacious and warm. Beautifully decorated with all the facilities. Shower was nice and large with a really powerful water supply (I am not a small person). Breakfast was great, and they couldn’t do enough for me. If ever I am staying in this area again in the future, this will be my first port of call when booking a room.

Although the two rooms here are comfortable we stay here because the food, staff and ambience are excellent. We stay here as often as travel allows and is perhaps my favourite place to stay in the UK. The dining experience is excellent - the food is imaginative and well presented.
