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 hotel had a pre-ordering system for breakfast but sometimes still didn't get it right. Evening meals were quite reasonably priced but were a bit variable at times
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the room was in an annex and was on the ground floor and dog friendly and quite spacious, the bed was large and comfortable and the bedroom was warm enough as the evenings were quite cold. One of the best features were the breakfasts which were freshly cooked with good ingredients and choice. The bar was quite comfortable and was a bit lively at times. The location was near the pretty town of Ashbourne and close to many tourist attractions

United KingdomThe selection of white wine was a bit limited (I prefer old world and most of their choices were new world) but this was offset by an excellent range of gins and tonics.
We went to Bentley Brook as a base to visit Alton Towers and it was an excellent choice. Being a pub with accommodation and food it had everything we needed after a hard day on rides 😀. The food was excellent both in taste and quantity and was good value for money - we ate in the evening and for breakfast and didn’t need lunch! The room was nice - a good size bed, was very clean and had a good view over the beautiful garden. The staff were very helpful and the pub had a book with local walks which they were happy to talk you through. After Alton we visited Dovedale which was fabulous.

United KingdomCheckout time is a bit early, but I understand that they need to clean for the next guests. Think 11 would be more ideal, to allow more time.
The room, service, and food was spot on. We were made to feel very welcome and there was plenty of spaces to park our car. Booked again for mid August!
