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.).

NetherlandsWe loved everything. It is on the pricy side.
It is a beautifully decorated and well maintained hotel. Super stylish and it really felt that we were in Scotland. There was even a Scottish wedding! Breakfast was exceptional and dinner was very enjoyable. We loved the lounge where we sat after dinner to read our books.

United KingdomUnfortunately my evening meal wasn’t what I’d expected from a hotel of this standard. I’m vegan and knew they could cater for me. The menu looked lovely, when I ordered my main course, it had changed, ordered an alternative, which was overall disappointing, for this standard of hotel to serve a portion of boiled rice quite hard is poor!!! Then my dessert had been given a “quick” blast in the microwave, which left it tepid round the outer edges and cold in the centre. I was however not charged for it, as I complained, but again not what I’d expected from this hotel. My husbands meal was beautiful and had no complaints about it.
A lovely location overlooking the river, room was very comfortable and clean. Staff were very helpful and pleasant.

United KingdomBeing woken up early despite paying extra payment on top of expensive tariff for late departure. Then, housekeeping arguing because they hadn't been informed by reservation or reception. Because I'm pretty sure I was not the one as a guest to be debating with!
Beautiful and historically interesting hotel. Patio room was wonderful at bringing the outdoors in. Clean.

AustraliaNothing, loved it all, except I wished I'd stayed longer
Everything was fantastic. The grounds, the room, the size of the room, the view of the river, the location of the property (so peaceful). Loved the layout of the hotel and all it offers, a pre-dinner drink in the cosy bar, the restaurant (the food was absolutely delicious, first class quality produce and taste), breakfast plenty of variety and all staff were professional, pleasant, helpful, and friendly. I have been wanting to stay here for several years and I was so delighted with my experience. Keep up the great work, you are managing a wonderful travel experience

United KingdomDifficult to find way around, had difficulty finding breakfast, maybe need some tasteful signage. Food menu - insufficient choice. Ordered from room service menu, which we found by accident. Pizza was hard, lukewarm and tasted odd. Chips were lovely, but not enough of them. Breakfast food delicious but service a bit haphazard. Poor waiter must have walked miles serving the two couples who were at breakfast. Had to ask for more butter, milk, fruit etc.This should have been anticipated, we shouldn't have to ask! Maybe more training needed for the young staff.
Location, ambiance, decor, generally nice feeling.
