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 bath/shower was a bit small, but that is a feature of the architecture. However, a shower curtain would have been good to help prevent splashing the bathroom floor whilst washing.
A very quiet and relaxing room, perfect to return to after a busy day of meetings.

United KingdomNothing bad to say about our stay.
The owner was unable to serve breakfast herself but she laid it all out for us and there was a very good choice. This only worked because we were the only ones in the hotel but for us, on the day, it was fine and good value. We were there in early December and the property and bedrooms were a little cold as the heating was not the most efficient. We were made to feel most welcome and overall good value for the money.

United KingdomI would have had to be about 2'6" high to get under the shower (not exaggerating!) but there has to be some trade offs for staying in a place of this age and character. The only other observation was it was a bit hard to find, as its tucked away, some signs on the road and clear indication where to park would have made it easier (especially as it was dark because of time of year)
The building is stunning and steeped with history, I would have like a longer stay and at the time of year you could get the best from the location.

United KingdomI wouldn't let it put you off if you're thinking about staying here as the building is really wonderful, but the lack of space in the shower was a bit awkward, especially if you have mobility or flexibility concerns. Not a deal breaker for me, but i coudlnt get the wifi to work too.

United KingdomNot a dislike but just a tip for others. Due to the nature of the old (but beautiful) building, as a tall person you are better of having a bath - otherwise you’ll need to kneel to wash your hair in the shower.
The host was lovely & incredibly accomodating. Breakfast was also provided with access to amenities should you wish to have something different.
