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 KingdomBiscuit wrapper on floor of the room. Was told if we let the hotel know it was for a special occasion they'd arrange for a card in our room. I let them know it was our 1st anniversary but no card in the room.
Brilliant location, hotel and grounds are absolutely amazing. Breakfast was excellent.

GreeceThe 617 Squadron Bar is more of a museum than a bar as it was. I would have preferred it to be preserved as it was. The photos and logs and books could have been in a separate display.

United KingdomThe nature of the room makes it impractical to open the windows. It might be quite hot during the summer months although there was a fan in the wardrobe.
The historic building, gardens and location are excellent. The room was a very good size and all the staff were very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomNothing to dislike, although it must be said that the reception staff need to be more welcoming and as friendly and pleasant as are the restaurant and bar staff. We are elderly and after struggling up to the first floor with heavy luggage, we found out that there was a lift! The reception staff should have pointed this out to us, as it is not visible from the reception area. In addition, on checking out, a cheery “Thank you for staying at The Petwood. Have a safe journey.“ wouldn’t have gone amiss either. The ladies need training in customer relations in my opinion.
We loved the history of the hotel Very interested in WW2 history, so where better than to stay at The Petwood and walk in the footsteps of the heroic Dambusters. Beautiful, well tended grounds. Woodland setting- pleasant, flat walk into village centre Excellent breakfast with super choice. Efficient and pleasant waitresses. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night. Good menu. Waitress Karen was very friendly and helpful. Woodhall Spa is a charming village with a lovely high street; interesting shops, hotels, bars and cafés. Home of the Dambusters Squadron, so steeped in history. Woodland setting. A visit to the unique Kinema in the Woods is an absolute must. Like stepping back in time.

United KingdomSecond days breakfast was buffet style due to volume of people, disappointed. Lack of staff is not a reason to lower your standards. Don't devalue your customer experience to fit your budget.

United KingdomNo explanation for buffet breakfast on the 17/4 and did not like the brusque manor of head waiter who did not prioritise his clients - even pulling a table across passage way in and out of dining room so people could not pass through easily especially with poor mobility. The mood of the staff in the dining room was severely depleted on that morning.
The breakfast was lovely except when it changed to a buffet style and many things were off the menu. Could have gone to a budget hotel if I wanted a buffet breakfast.

United KingdomThe wallpaper in the room was coming off of the wall, there is no full length mirror and the heating downstairs wasn't powerful enough making it cold. Table in the bar was sticky where it hadn't been cleaned properly
Lovely location Woodall Spa is a well kept village and the grounds of the hotel are lovely. Breakfast was OK bit dry.
