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 KingdomThe wait time for food was too long and there seemed to be a lot of annoyed customers. We also feel we paid more than we should for the dinner we received although the food in general was very good.
Staff were very nice and the room was lovely. Plus the facilities were good.

United KingdomThe bath had a dripping tap & you could see it had be tried to be repaired but the finish after this was both messy & unresolved. When we arrived the one person who seemed to man the reception area was on the telephone. He didn't even look up to acknowledge us or to signal an apology or hello. We waited about 10 mins before looking for staff elsewhere wanting to get some lunch as we had spa treatments booked at 4 so we didn't want to rush or wait for this man to check us in any longer, . We were greeted & given a table speedily in the restaurant. I went back to reception. Where the gentleman was finally off the phone Took my details & I said we were having dinner. When we later tried to find him he asked me if I had checked in. When I had only 20 Mins previously checked in with himself!!! Was a bit strange. It didn't spoil out time as we are not those kind of people however I have visited the property in the past & haven't experienced this & had good expectations that weren't quite met.
I love the resort. The old big rooms & the whole property. Our room was really large with great facilities. And super comfortable beds, which was great. The spa staff were lovely, kind & efficient, as were the waiting & restaurant staff.

United KingdomThe bed was hard. A four poster sounds lovely but it had wooden slats so no bounce and comfort, the mattress was firm, and we had to ask for extra blankets to make it bearable. There was little hot water in the bathroom, ran it for 15 minutes and only luke warm. The cooked breakfast was good but the coffee was awful, tasted of tea as it was served in a T pot. but was definitely an attempt at coffee.Servers at breakfast were a bit bored.
The spa facilities and the massage treatments were amazing, this was the highlight and the thing the hotel did well at. It looks like more money is put into this aspect. The hotel decor was grand and impressive. The room was good overall, with a few exceptions. Servers at eve meal were good.

United KingdomWas a little disappointed by the room's outside space being a very small fenced enclosure due to spa facilities being the other side of the fencing.
We had a lovely room & the facilities were excellent unfortunately we didn't have sufficient time during our stay to make use of them. The staff were very friendly & helpful.

United KingdomI tried to take a bath but the water to the bath was cold, we had to get a maintenance staff member to fix the hot water but by the time this was done I hadn’t time for a bath. Also there was no toilet brush in the bathroom. There is no lighting on the entrance to the hotel from the road. We had walked into Shepton Mallet for the carnival and I had to use my phone torch when walking out of the hotel to the road. This and the fact there is no side pavement to walk on could be a health and safety issue if a vehicle drives in and there are people walking.
The room was very comfortable and spacious, the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel is well located.
