Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SwitzerlandI had been asked thru booking message if I wanted to enjoy dinner. I told them yes for the two nights of my stay. Well the restaurant was closed (no message in return they can not offer dinner). I asled thru e.mail and message booking feature to Hotel to issue and prepare invoice with detailed info on how to address. NO REPLY. So now after my departure on 5th of June I know the staff or supposed staff is not reading messages or e-mails. The messages you receive are automatically generated but no STAFF behind it. This is a lack of service and support. Not even a message taken note of your message will need some days to handle your issue. Not even that. So nice place to stay, in a very nice green garden, cozy old style building. If you do not need any assistance just sleep and enjoy wifi and breakfast (late 7.30), it si your place.
Room was clean and had all necessary amenities you expect of a Hotel (not a Guesthouse). Is better tha std guest-house. Breakfast was good, freshly cooked eggs, all you need.

United KingdomDecor was tired although clean and tidy; the whole property feels in need of refresh. Could be wonderful with investment, but this would probably mean that the prices would have to rise too.
Great location, great grounds, country house ambience.

United KingdomThe front door lock was broken and not fixed. As reception not always manned this was a security risk. Door still not fixed when we left. This establishment is no smoking. On the 2nd night marijuana was being smoked downstairs. Smell so strong in our bedroom we had to open the windows (on a cold night) I did pass comment the next morning.
Warm welcome from the lady when we arrived. Very informative. Great breakfast.

United KingdomShower dated but adequate could be better.
Excellent breakfast, room had nice view of the garden, room was clean and bed comfortable. For price paid very good value. Although did not use it downstairs lounge looked very comfortable with homely feel. Would have liked to have gone into Ely as only short walk did make the Albert pub which was quite nice but bit pricey. Reasonable parking bit tight to get through main entrance of the car park for van(Renault trafic LWB) but once in fine.

United KingdomThe only negative was the shower. The water pressure is quite low, but not a disaster. Would benefit from power showers, but then the price would go up. For what you pay there it's great value.
We see a number of negative reviews on here, but we don't understand why. It's an incredibly friendly place. The staff are really helpful. Our room was ready 4 hours before check-in so they gave us the keys. It's in a very central location and has free parking. For the price it's a steal. Would definitely stay again.
