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.).

GermanyBreakfast is from 8 am to 9.15 am, so quite restricted. Check-out at 10 is quite early.
Easy check-in. Room was fine, maybe a bit dark, but nice view and the bathroom was lovely with a lot of natural light. Choice of cooked meal for breakfast was great, next to the little buffet (cornflakes, coffee, juice etc.).

United KingdomNo marmalade for the toast! Pre cooked lasagne, let the meal down on the 2nd night! The rear grounds and car park is scheduled for a make over but that didn't detract from our visit.
The breakfast was OK but could do with more fruit to go along with the cereals. Evening meals were very good, except for the pre cooked lasagne on one night! The staff were excellent, Scott looked after everyone and Gabbi and her companion were excellent on the first night but the 2nd night bar and waitressing staff weren't up to their standard!

United KingdomWe booked a king suite , but there was a mix up. We got a twin room then changed to a double suite with a double bed. The room was large enough for a king. So we were quite squashed up.The shower has no door so when showering the bathroom floods, dispite trying our best not to do so. We thought it was over priced..
The staff were friendly, the place has had a makeover which is really nice. The breakfast was very nice.

United KingdomNot many negatives to our stay at all. However, my wife would have liked a fresh fruit cocktail selection for breakfast and my initial selection for a dinner starter was unfortunately sold out (but these things can happen).
The bedroom was exceptionally clean with good facilities. Beds were very comfortable. We had dinner and choose the Wednesday evening fish tea special which was tasty and very good value for money. (A lot of other folks seem to also think so since the restaurant was very busy). The cooked breakfast was also very good. A good size car park and outdoor beer garden was also used and appreciated.

United KingdomSeemed to be having problems with their catering. Some items on the dinner menu were not available. Same with sourdough toast at breakfast. For what it was, I feel the accommodation was overpriced by about 20%.

United KingdomA group of golfers started moving beds about from 11pm until after midnight, slamming fire doors, etc. It's not the fault of the hotel in any way. The bed was far too soft.
Good location, nice room, great shower, and breakfast. Decent and well stocked bar, too. Staff were good. Although only two were on, covering reception, bar, and restaurant duties.
