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 heating was very noisy so I didn't sleep well, and I wasn't the radiator as that wasn't plugged in, the TV remote was working properly.
Everything else was very pleasant, the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. Well decorated. The staff was welcoming, and made us feel comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing I would recommend it to others to go stay and eat there.

United KingdomI have to say the most of the staff were very good but not all. Sometimes in the Resturant I felt a little like I was an inconvenience! The food was ok but for the money I think it should be better. Burger 🍔 bun was old only ate half of it steak 🥩 was cooked well but sauce was very average. Just not worth the £30/35 for two courses no drink. Maybe I’m asking too much?
The rooms are really high quality and clean the bed was extremely comfortable and the TV was great size quality screen. Loads of parking. Close to motorway (not too close) good connections. Good internet access. Excellent breakfast

The room was small but had everything we needed. It was very clean. Big bath towels- pet hate of mine are small towels! A Dyson fan which kept the room cool. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

RomaniaThe room was compact - it had everything but it was quite small. I was staying alone so it was fine but two people would struggle. It felt uncomfortably small at times. The music from the pub was bearable but got a little tiring after an hour or so. You can listen to your own music or perhaps use headphones.
The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The room had everything I needed - well designed bathroom, coffee maker, hair dryer and desk. The car park was a good size. The location was ideal for a holiday in south central England. The pub part of the hotel had service and good food/drink. There was plenty to appreciate.

United KingdomI was woken at 7am by piped-in music from the pub, followed by shouting and whistling from some kind of service vehicle directly outside my room - not ideal.
The bed was comfortable, and the luxury accessories in the room very welcome. The food was very good, and the service was super quick.

United KingdomDamn hot.....
The room was lovely, but a little small, and very very hot, and the fan provided did not do a lot. The menu choice for dinner was good, and very reasonably priced, and when it arrived it was delicious. Breakfast was also great, anywhere that supplies eggs benedict gets my vote. I have scored it a little low on cost as it was an expensive room, but there was a large concert nearby that night, which may explain this. I will look to stay here again on my next visit to the area as overall it was lovely.

Brilliant location, great value for money, friendly staff and a very comfortable/modern room. Easy check in/check out process, and parking included for hotel guests.
