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 only thing we didn’t like about our stay was when we were in the spa no one collects you for your treatment. We were told to return to reception 10 minutes before to fill our consultations in but we felt like we were clocked watching in the spa. Just a personal opinion. Absolutely amazing otherwise.
The hotel was absolutely beautiful. We were stunned with how immaculate the building is.

United KingdomNot a great deal of drinks/refreshments were available in the mini-fridge & coffee machine was not set up when we arrived. Some of the lighting controls in our room appeared to be out-of-order. Very small disappointments overall and certainly didn't detract from the enjoyment of our trip.
The room was fantastic and met all expectations of a venue like this The breakfast at the 3AA Rosette Orangery Restaurant was fantastic, as expected, and the service was equally excellent. In the evening there is also a Cocktail Bar open to guests even if they are not dining at the restaurant. The Clubhouse Restaurant we ate at for Dinner was also very nice with great menu options. The SPA facilities were absolutely fantastic.

United KingdomRoom 18, the toilet seat was loose, there was no toilet brush (did not want to leave an embarrassing mess). The drinks cabinet was not clean. The wooden surround had chips taken out of the edges . The glass cover on the make-up area was marked and dirty. The door going out of the hotel reception area to the clubhouse when opening jammed causing a near miss to my head from being struck although a staff member did say it was down to be repaired.
good communication with staff. Loved the views from room (18). The food was first class The room was warm and comfortable and quiet.

United KingdomSome of the room features are a little worn. I stayed in one of the lodge buildings and small features like the paint on the toilet button was worn and peeling off. It was also very dark in there for getting ready for dinner. However, it was comfortable and clean.
The staff are so welcoming and helpful. They literally tend to your every need. The spa is unreal. I enjoy it so much, I stayed 4 times in 2 months!

United KingdomThe beers bought in the spa garden were not cold. Service was quite slow at breakfast and the toast was cold. Overall these things did not impact our experience.
The room was absolutely exquisite. We arrived early for our 2pm appointment in the spa garden and as our room was ready we were able to check in early. The spa and facilities were impeccable. The staff were more than helpful and room service was delivered twice in great time.

United KingdomThe evening meal in the "fine" dining area was very poor. The fish dish was cold and not properly cooked and the staff were very inexperienced ( in contrast to the breakfast staff who were professional and properly trained) We were able to discuss our issues with the Duty Manager who responded positively to our comments. This was certainly not "fine" dining !!
Rooms are excellent - modern, spacious and very clean. Staff generally very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was very good with food cooked fresh to order.

United KingdomChoice of food on the Orangery could have been more. Food in Club house expensive for what it was and steak and chips too salty. Didn’t get my early morning call on one morning. Having to book time for breakfast when normally I would just turn up for breakfast when ready. An extra £10 charge for room service log you order food for your room.
Excellent room, friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. Lovely grounds and building. Lovely breakfast.
