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 KingdomBrilliant Hotel and staff were very professional and helpful. I originally booked one night and ended up staying longer. The facilities are superb, the gym has enough equipment for a solid workout and the pool has a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna to relax in afterwards. The restaurant has such a pleasant atmosphere and the food is very good. I would highly recommend here to use as a base to explore the surrounding areas as I did or even just as a getaway with nice surroundings. The only downside was my room felt a little outdated, but was super comfy and clean. Would highly recommend and I'm sure I'll be back soon.

United KingdomWaiter at breakfast had a bad attitude, and very rude. When asked for the breakfast order "I cant write everything down at once!" no smiles, no welcome etc. Needs staff training! It spoilt the breakfast experience.
Very large family room and nice swimming pool. Good car park.

United KingdomThe corridor areas were cold but not a problem. The bed sheet was just placed on top of the mattress and not tucked in so the mattress was exposed - which was a little strange.
A comfortable room, great leisure facilities and a lovely evening meal was had.

United KingdomBad smell in the bathroom in second room we booked - did not complain as we're just staying overnight. Restaurant at the night had definitely not enough staff, they were "running" around to serve, however they were managing... just. Breakfast not have much option for vegetarian.
Sauna, stem room, jacuzzi and swimming pool - clean and accurate size for the amount of visitors, open from 7am till 8pm. My room was clean, nice and cosy. Garden around looked very nice. Staff was nice, receptionist always available. Price with discount was definitely worth paying.

United KingdomVery limited food options in the hotel and other options are not very accessible or nearby (that we could find anyway). We did eat at the bar in the hotel for dinner and it was the only letdown of our stay as we didn’t particularly enjoy the food we ordered and the portions were quite small so we did still feel quite hungry going to bed. We skipped breakfast as we didn’t want to eat there in the morning again if we didn’t enjoy it and found it really difficult to find any nearby restaurants that were open - we ended up stopping off at a nearby garage and picking up some breakfast snacks for the rest of our journey.
Great location and facilities (pool, gym, tennis courts outside). We would easily come back again and are planning to next year! Easy access to Lake District tourist spots from the hotel via car which is how we got there. The view from our room was beautiful - especially at night where we had the full moon glowing through the window and views of the gardens outside the back. Really friendly and accommodating staff who helped us with any questions we had. The room itself was really clean and cosy, perfect for our short stay over as a couple.

United KingdomIt wasn't clear that we needed to use the room sign to indicate if we wanted the rooms to be cleaned. But they provided fresh towels for my sister's room when requested. This hotel isn't ideal for anyone who wants to be in a town and close to shops etc. For us it was fine as we were driving to various different places each day and happy to have dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Great hotel. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very modern. We loved the pool and spa facilities (sauna, steam room, jacuzzi) which were included. There's also a small gym included. Breakfast was great - there was a choice of cooked breakfasts plus additional buffet options. They had gluten free bread and alternative milks which was useful for some of us. We also had dinner at the restaurant twice and the food was delicious.
