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.).

United KingdomThere was a couple of areas that could have been cleaner, restaurant floor, window sill etc. Some of the decor was a little tired in the hotel and in the rooms but overall it was lovely. The pool was ideal but a little dated, which was expected from reading previous reviews.
Lovely location, food was great, staff were lovely. Lovely little surprise for my little ones birthday, a lovely touch!

United KingdomToo many noisy individuals, the Claret Jug bar was a disgrace, dirty dishes left on tables for a prolonged period, short of staff, kids running around and the food was cold (I had fish and chips) as was the curry sauce that was served with the food. Too difficult to get attention from anyone do left most of it.

United KingdomThe main restaurant could have been better. The first evening meal was a bit of a disappointment (we ate there twice). Staff were nice but some quite inexperienced - obviously people have to learn, but for example, they couldn't open a wine bottle with a cork. Breakfast is also a bit crazy.
Idyllic location. Lovely approach and grounds. Facilities good.

United KingdomDinner was nice but expensive. Lots of choice for breakfast but we request a veggie sausage and had to wait a long time for it to appear- it felt like they weren’t expecting any vegetarians.
Nice big family rooms with space between children and adults beds. The pool was great for the kids and the adults loved being able to use the gym, sauna and steam room. Staff were really kind and helpful, and we had a lovely time.

United KingdomChanging room in swimming pool was on the small side (only 1 private changing cubicle) and felt a bit cramped in the main changing area when there was more than 2 or 3 people changing.
The grounds were lovely, lots of walking routes to explore, big bedroom, fridge in room. Beds were large and comfortable. Air conditioned room so kept nice and cool. The staff were helpful and friendly, the breakfast had a good choice of hot foods plus pastries, cereals, toast, yoghurts, fruit, plus a gluten free foods area. There were a couple of snug type rooms in the hotel which I enjoyed taking my book to and having a quiet read 📚 kids enjoyed the pool and slide - there are designated child swimming times and this seems to work well in keeping everyone happy
