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 KingdomUpgraded to premium room which was lovely and very large, views over the ground are gorgeous (fairfax room)! Spa very relaxing but pool only luke warm! Bar area was great especially sat outside on the patio in the sun. Good choice behind the bar and food was gorgeous, we ate in the restaurant and had breakfast. Food was done to a very high standard! I would stay here again.

United KingdomCleanliness of the room, however we completely understood that it might not have been of the highest level due to the room being a dog friendly room (we had our dog with us of course!), we would still not expect stains on the carpet along with several areas of paint chipping off the walls/furniture. This will not stop us from coming back though as it was overall a beautiful stay and the food was incredible.
We ordered off the restaurant menu and it was absolutely delicious, honestly, you could tell everything was fresh. Spa staff(lady at the reception with red hair) was lovely, super friendly and you could tell she'd go the extra mile for her customers.

United KingdomWe felt the restaurant was very poor. Food was never hot, it always arrived warm which meant it got cold before you had finished. On one occasion my wife’s dinner arrived cold and we had to send it back. By the time it arrived hot, I had already finished my own meal. The menu itself had been changed at the weekend and we arrived on the Monday. This meant that the waitress could not answer any questions asked and had to keep going to the kitchen to find the answer. This in itself was annoying. We would willingly return for another visit but, unfortunately, we would not eat at the hotel.
The reception staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The room we had was very good. The bed was very comfortable and spacious and the bathroom facilities were superb. We enjoyed our stay immensely. We would like to give a special mention for one of the members of staff, I believe her name was Jade Bennett. She was very friendly, attentive to our needs and helped to make our stay enjoyable.

United KingdomThe hotel could do with some modernising in certain areas, especially in the basic bedrooms and bathrooms.
We checked in to our standard room which i was slightly disappointed with, especially the bathroom which is in need of a major refurbishment. Within a few minutes we found sweets on the carpet which hadnt been cleaned up. We went to tell reception and then off to the spa for an hour. On our return the receptionist went out of her way to get us an upgrade to the master suite. The new room was beautiful, with a lounge area, a huge bed and a beautiful, modern bathroom. Our stay was immediately elevated. Breakfast was excellent the next morning as well.

United KingdomThe room had an adjoining door to the next room. The soundproofing was very poor (non existent) so we could hear every cough! The room was accessed via a very circuitous route and the carpet was pretty grubby and needed hoovering.
Lovely reception and dining rooms, very stylish. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The room was very nice, good size, had more or less everything we needed. The spa facilities are gorgeous, top notch. And the breakfast was also superb.
