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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

SpainThe view of our room. in addition, we think it could’ve been handy if the guest welcome pack covered more of the toilet necessities, like toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo.
the location and surroundings were unique, and the gardens lovely.

BelgiumWe should have stayed more days in this jewel. We are coming back.
Spectacular room with a shower experience beyond expectations . A breakfast too big for a one day stay . A restaurant where you are spoiled from apperitive to coffee. And above all: the way medieval architecture was repected when intergrating the hotel in the building is remarcable.

United KingdomSignage into the hotel could be improved. Largely found due to Google.
Superior room, excellent. Slightly quirky but well presented. Excellent dinner and wine selection. Close to the motorway for Santander, just over an hour.

SwitzerlandSome spots were not clean. We can talk about a glass or a knife as well as of a corner in the bathroom. That’s just a pity. It is not that things are not cleaned but not really checked or done thoroughly.
Nice architecture, mix from old and new. Diner at the restaurant was very good, very friendly staff, short menu but local products and very tasty, kitchen with food quality above average. Thanks Valentin for your recommendations.

United KingdomThe bed could have been better -- it was two singles pushed together. The WiFi was a little patchy during our stay.
The junior suite we staying in was amazing -- so stylish and it had a twin rain forest shower and a wooden tub at the end of the bed for bathing! The public areas and gardens were equally good -- with stone arches and a terrific library with one glass wall.

United KingdomWhile the style of decoration in the room is stunning, it is looking a little tired now (lots of design awards in 2014) with chips in the dark plaster finish very visible. There was a build up of grime at the edges of the bathroom floor tiles, sliding loo door was sticking and the bath shower screen was decidedly wonky and very awkward to open & close (Room 103). A little refresh TLC needed for this amazing place. Bar server inexperienced and unprofessional.
Fantastically converted old buildings with architectural design twists, very atmospheric and dramatic. Gardens are very pretty, lovely for a drink before dinner. Bed was huge and very comfortable, room large and furniture good quality. Views lovely of both internal courtyard cloisters and out to the front. Superb restaurant, wonderful food. Can’t praise the lady in charge of the restaurant highly enough, she went above and beyond to recommend dishes and even provided complimentary tasters of other dishes and extra wines.

Conversion from 13th century convent to boutique hotel was very tastefully done, ensuring many of its original features were evident. The lovely gardens provide space , tranquility and relaxation.
