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 KingdomI waited in reception for a while for staff and walked around trying to find a member of staff to check in (I was early) they appeared to have limited staff on duty.
Beautiful location, main property looked amazing on the outside. Coach house was tired looking on the outside but appeared to have been decorated and recarpeted fairly recently on the inside. Good value for money.

United KingdomWe were in room 19 & first impression was good. However, the windows in the bathroom are full of mold, especially the 1 by the toilet, and there is no way of closing the blind for privacy for using the toilet & shower. Bed isn't very comfy & all bedding & pillows feel budget. I was told about the function and music being on until 1am beforehand and never heard any music just people going to bed from 1.30 until 6am & people laughing, shouting & slamming doors. One crowd had a 15 minute very loud conversation outside our room at 3am. We didn't get much sleep unfortunately because of this.
Breakfast was ok, but no eggs, a choice of scrambled or fried would of been good. Black pudding was rock hard & bacon was under cooked.

Stayed over for Christmas party night. Had same room as last year and whilst the room is spacious and clean I was disappointed that the same broken dressing table mirror was still in place. It wouldn't cost much to replace it. It was near impossible to do make up as you had to hold the mirror with one hand to prevent it collapsing. Come on guys, buy a new one!!!
The Christmas party night was superb. The entertainment was great and the food fantastic. Couldn't fault it. Staff lovely and friendly.

United KingdomOn arrival we were allocated our room, however no electric in the room except for the lights, so we were unable to use hairdryers, charge phones or even have a cup of coffee. We mentioned it at reception, who offered us another room in the coach house, which we eventually accepted. Many more rooms complained of no electric. For us due to the room move did not spoil our stay, although it was a little cold.
I have stayed here a few times and like the decor, the style and location of the property, we stayed for the Christmas Party night, it was good, the food was good and we enjoyed the party atmosphere.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like, just a couple of little niggles. For example the light above the bathroom mirror didn’t work. But that’s all really.
Room was lovely, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good All staff were excellent, the reception staff, bar/restaurant staff, cleaners. But a special mention to the man who was on reception in the evening. We didn’t get his name but he had dark hair, glasses and a beard! He was so helpful, professional and a genuinely lovely guy.
