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 KingdomThere was a load rumbling noise outside all night. I think from the swimming pool. Got used to it after a few hours and slept fine then.
The man who checked us in was perfect, friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomStaff on the desk at the Health Club were unwelcoming and at times quite dismissive and rude. Failed to tell us that a class was about to start in the pool taking up the whole shallow end. Once in the pool, a lovely lady from the class informed us of this, we had our two small children with us so this was obviously very disappointing for them.
Great breakfast, friendly welcome at reception, lovely views from our bedroom and from the restaurant. Family room was very spacious and comfortable.

United KingdomThe menu - very dull, stodgy and unhealthy, little choice for non meat eaters. Not even unhealthy bar food available. Even the pizza on offer was only Margarita! I am not a chef but could have designed and cooked a more interesting menu! The rocket delivered with my calamari was off too! Too many kids running & screaming around! We had to retreat to room:( We had to get a takeaway on the second evening as there was very little on offer! Not ideal. Location wasn’t good as couldn’t really walk to alternative places.
Dog friendly. Good pool and gym ( although won’t choose a weekend again as too many kids!) Friendly staff. Breakfast wonderful - choice of non dairy milks, nuts and seeds. Enough for veggies

United KingdomI tried booking originally through the hotel direct as I was booking for my brother & nephews who were attending a event at the hotel Because I wasn’t attending I had to have a business email & card, which I had but my email wasn’t good enough, because my business name was the emails domain it was a @hotmail! so I wasn’t able to book using the discounted rate & I wasn’t able to just pay for the room over the phone I’ve never heard of anything so ridiculous I then booked through booking.com and the reception staff then made checking in difficult because my brother didn’t have the same card it was booked with !
The stay was pleasant other than check in

United KingdomRestaurant menu poor and unimaginative I was forced to go elsewhere for food. In the past I have eaten in the restaurant and found choice of food and food very good. On the Saturday evening There was a party being held in the ballroom which was very noisy and was still going on at 2.30am Sunday morning when a fight broke out in front of the hotel which was clearly visible from my room 302. Some of the other guests mentioned fights breaking out around the other side of the hotel during Saturday evening/Sunday morning. Some of the culprits were still sitting outside smoking and noisily chatting at 3am which resulted in a lack of sleep for myself and others I would guess.
Comfy room, gym, pool, helpful staff

United KingdomThe hotel is a quite run down. We were a family of four and asked weeks in advance to have two rooms together which the hotel confirmed, once we got there- separate rooms. The leisure center is not family friendly, kids under 16 can't use the facilities. There is a venue outside the hotel, there was a rowdy crowd and fights until 2am.
The breakfast was nice, and the beds are comfy, it is really close to Leeds castle. Reception staff were friendly.

United KingdomPool is far too deep for children to enjoy. I am 5ft 10 and could only stand up in a small section of pool. Pool and changing rooms very dated and a bit rough, needs updating. Some staff quite rude and not very helpful. Paying nearly £4 for a coffee which the woman didnt have a clue how to make. Windows in bedroom were single pane glass and looked decades old, freezing at night we had to ask for extra duvets as cold was coming through windows! Despite asking a few times for things to be done ie room properly cleaned as we stayed for 8 days it wasnt.
Steve on reception super helpful, good location for what we needed. Lovely breakfast selection. Room comfortable enough although missing a fridge
