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 KingdomI booked it for a special birthday weekend away, on arrival I found out about some technical issues and we needed to move. I was really worried but we have been upgraded, service and the standard exceeded my expectations and we had an amazing weekend! Great standard, super clean, delicious and big breakfasts. Special thanks to Julie from reception, who handled this situation perfectly! Even our puppy had a special treat and gift waiting for her. Lovely place, great people, can't wait to go back! Thank you

IrelandWe should have been told in advance that our room was not in the main building but in a lodge. There should have been an anti-slip shower mat in the shower which got dangerously slippery in use. I wish hotels in England would provide face cloths with the towels (as they do in the US).
Room very comfortable and clean. Also we were able to check in early.

United KingdomHaving to leave to come home. 😋
The whole stay was great. The room although not massive, was warm, cosy and spotlessly clean. It had everything you could wish for. Comfortable bed, large shower, all the usual facilities. It was especially good as we took our dog, which the room catered for. In addition there was a nice outside seating space in front of the room, albeit the weather put a stop to us using that. The staff were superb, attentive, very polite and helpful at all times, as was the restaurant allowing us to take the dog in with us for breakfast and evening dinner instead of leaving her in the room alone. As for the food, well this was amazing, Great breakfast options cooked as requested, plus home cooked foods for dinner, great variety on offer especially the specials. Highly recommend the Lamb Shank, what a meal that was. You will not be disappointed with the food. Also the grounds are very nice as well with the ponds, the fountains and the grounds to walk round, its a very nice and relaxing location.
