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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomVery small details:- could get the shower head on the rail to stay in place - very loose - which I forgot to mention. Bacon and breakfast very hard and dry. Brown toast was not very brown and cold and hard - a slice of whole meal or with seeds would have been so much nicer. Rest of breakfast good. The Earl Grey tea was excellent.
The best nights sleep I have had in a long time. Lovely helpful staff. Quiet. Have wanted to stay for a long time - glad I made it. Ivor was a really nice guy on reception - very obliging.

United KingdomIt’s a spectacular property that we were soooo looking forward to coming back to 10 years later. We had amazing memories from here and booked this place as a special treat. Most of the staff is lovely. And the Amberley village is gorgeous. Tasty breakfast.

United KingdomSuch a nice hotel, the castle buildings are amazing amongst great garden landscaping. The staff are friendly and the food is great. The only two issues were that there were no hooks to hang jackets up apart from in the small wardrobe in the bathroom and the cups (although nice) were quite small for a decent sized cup of tea.

United KingdomThe reception that I received from the Receptionist shortly after we arrived. I was trying to receive a very important telephone message from France on a Sunday just before the French Agence was about to close. They had tried x3 times. Because of the ? 5’ thick walls of the castle, it wasn’t working. I went to the reception area only to be confronted by the on duty Manager that she was already speaking to some people who were about to leave and I should wait. All I wanted her to reply to my quick question to her which I apologised to her at the time.. where is the best phone reception in the vicinity. It was really urgent. Thankfully a kind man could hear what was going on and quickly said the car park.. Brilliant. I’m not a pushy person and would never normally interrupt, it was just very urgent and could have been dealt with so quickly. At the end of our stay I apologised to the said ?manager and her response was oh I’m glad you have apologised. Not quite what I was expecting. Perhaps…?? …Yes, I’m sorry too about the incident but I do hope it all got sorted out. 🤷♀️( I was dealing with a husband who has bad Parkinson’s and a broken ankle in a large boot which probably didn’t help my cause but she was aware of all that at the end of our stay. ) Perhaps another management course? Other than that we couldn’t recommend Amberley more highly. The rest of the staff were brilliant and so kind at every turn. Hopefully we will return one day.
Breakfast was second to none. 99% of staff amazing.

Amberley Castle is one of the most special places I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The castle is beautiful, the rooms exceptionally comfortable & clean. With only 19 rooms it was never overcrowded so there was always a comfortable sofa to relax on, in one of the three lounges. The dinner was excellent, an unusual & varied "tasting menu" with a wide choice of wines. The staff in every area are friendly & helpful.
