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 KingdomShower wasn't very powerful and the head kept flopping down so we had to hold it whilst showering.
The setting and location, central for everywhere. Plenty of parking too.

United KingdomThe self-service breakfast was disappointing. Sorry. One of the staff kindly agreed to have a poached egg cooked for me as the scrambled egg was hard, had blue colouring (?) and the fried eggs looked greasy. The mushrooms didn’t taste fresh - more likely tinned. The poached egg was freshly cooked (which I appreciated) but had little flavour and the yolk was pale yellow. The milk in the hot drinks machine tasted as if it was UHT (I had chosen a latte) and the coffee had no flavour, but there was fresh milk for those drinking tea or americano coffee. It was such a shame because we were looking forward to our Sunday breakfast.
The location was excellent; friendly, welcoming, very helpful and obliging staff; room with a view; clean and comfortable. The Reception staff kindly allowed us to leave our campervan in the hotel car park after we’d checked out, for an hour or two which was much appreciated. Thank you.

United KingdomThe hotel is 'tired'. I chose it because I stayed frequently when travelling on business a decade ago. The rooms badly need refurbishment and the self service breakfast doesn't compare to the individually cooked food we experienced in other less expensive hotels during the week.
The location is excellent with good car parking.

United KingdomNo fridge in the room. Only one bottle of water provided, not refreshed on subsequent days. The fantastic bartender provided pints of iced water to take up to the room. Breakfast was ok. The melon slices were very small, mostly rind. At the times I was at the hot plate, the eggs had become hard and rubbery, unlucky timing. The most disappointing was the appalling, machine dispensed coffee. It tasted of slightly off milk with no coffee flavour at all. The breakfast isn’t cheap, so a jug of freshly brewed coffee brought to the table should not be impossible. The shower cubicle in my daughter’s bathroom was extremely small. Luckily she is petite and just about managed to fit in. A larger person would have struggled. The water was too hot to use, even on the lowest setting. Maintenance responded very quickly to a request to adjust the thermostat. The outcome was that it was then stuck on cold and could not be changed. Luckily the weather was hot, so a cold shower was ok. Hopefully this can be addressed.
Walking distance to restaurants. Attractive setting next to the priory. Spacious, comfortable room, a little old fashioned. Good coffee machine in the room, as well as kettle. Fans were provided to mitigate the unusually hot weather, but still too hot for sleeping. Air conditioning could be put on the development plan. Comfortable, social bar with a very friendly and competent bar tender. The dinner menu was good, particularly the ice cream sundae.

United KingdomThere was a lot of footfall past the room and weddings were audible from the rooms above, so I would recommend a higher floor in the main building for those wanting an early night or a lie in.
Convenient centrally located hotel close to Priory and quaint shops with excellent breakfast, parking spaces and friendly staff. My room was in the modern annex of the hotel; it was clean and a decent size with a comfortable bed. Staff were professional and friendly, accommodating our large family group in the restaurant and storing cases on the last day.
