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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 garden spa could do with a heated and more sheltered part for rainy and colder days, fire pit was not turned on and we found it cold being out there for a while when not in the hydrotherapy pool. Service at dinner was slow but the food made up for it, there was a large group of people there at the same time.
Lovely room and spa, staff were very friendly and helpful. Spa very modern and clean and we found our treatments great and very relaxing. Dinner was lovely and the restaurant and bar were also great.

Irelandi had dinner in the restaurant and they charge 3.50 for sauce to go with main meal , which i feel was unnecessary, . i am still waiting for a refund for a spa treatment to come through, even though the original payment went through immediately.

United KingdomWe stayed in room 6 for our first night and whilst the decor and room facilities were great, unfortunately it’s right over the main entrance and you can actually feel the bed move when the front door slams, this wouldn’t be so bad if there wasn’t a wedding party going on until 02:00 on the first night of our stay. Fortunately the staff were wonderful and moved us to a quieter room for our second night.
This is a property with a lot of character in the main building and spa, lovely grounds and orangery. The spa pool was a perfect temperature and made for a great morning even when raining! The food in the restaurant was good, particular highlights were the pate starter and the lamb main, the wine selection isn’t vast but is very reasonably priced. Lee is a star in the restaurant and bar.

United KingdomAs a solo female traveller on business, I am used to eating alone in 5* and fine dining restaurants all around the world, and disappointingly despite the restaurant being virtually empty, I was seated at the very end of the restaurant in a separate section which i think is where they set up the hot plates for breakfast..? It's a pet hate of mine that restaurant staff assume that people dining alone must be seated out of sight of everyone else, but I'd had a long drive and was hungry so didn't want to make a fuss. The roman blind in Room 19 broke as soon as I pulled it down, so I had to use some of the bed cushions to block out the street lighting coming through the bottom of the blind. The blind was fixed quite quickly after I told reception.
Hotel Bar and seating area was cosy with a real fire on (I stayed mid February). Main restaurant is a good size and nicely furnished. Staff were good, my room was a good sized double and had everything I needed for a 3 night stay. I tried the Garden Spa on the 3rd evening - I was initially refused entry because they had the max of 10 people in the jacuzzi, but after making a bit of a fuss saying that it was my last night and I just wanted a quick chill out before dinner, I was given a robe, slippers and key for the digital lockers. The jacuzzi was lovely, its enclosed by garden walls so is very private, with seating/tables and loungers around it. As it was February the water was lovely and warm I didn't sit outside but I imagine it would be nice in the summer - there is also a bar in the spa reception. I didn't have any treatments or use the gym, just wanted the chance to relax and switch off on my last evening.

United KingdomThe only issue was a very loud visitor in the lounge/bar area during the daytime who seemed to know the establishment and come and go as a semi resident/permanent fixture. He was loud and quite disruptive and if he was known to the hotel, we felt he should have been spoken to as he did spoil the atmosphere for a large spell of time. This aside, it was a pleasant stay.
Perfect place to stay for a working meeting with a business colleague. Relaxed and friendly, a nice informal atmosphere in the bar/lounge area, made us feel really welcome and at home. Helpful team of staff. Pleasant atmosphere and feel to the very nice surroundings - both inside and out.

United KingdomMattress wasn’t great - very soft. Shower tray hasnt been fitted correctly as it didn’t drain into the corner well so made the bathroom floor wet. The bathroom mirrors were too low to shave as they were under a leaning roof but there were full length in the bedroom. Lighting could be brighter.
Big room, glass water bottles rather than single use plastic, nice towels. Good full length mirrrors. Lovely setting and easy to get to location wise. Tesla charging great if you have one.

United KingdomA couple of things that was disappointing , the evening meal was tasteless , my husband had the steak and found it fatty and over cooked , when asked how it was we explained that it wasn’t nice, I felt it was overpriced for the standard of the food. When we arrived , we was told that the spa facilities that is offered to the hotel guest was no longer available as they had a party going in , I explained I’d had the sense to prebook as my husband was having treatment , which I’d booked and paid for , don’t advertise it as being a perk of staying . This wasn’t the hotels fault , but whilst we was in the outside spa , we was being pelted with stones from the kids from the wedding party that where playing in the grounds , after complaining the hotel management was quick to act , but just put a dampener on the experience .
The staff where welcoming , the room was very comfortable , the bed was very comfy .
