How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I say this about most hotels, but when will they stop using Nescafé sachets in the rooms. It’s truly disgusting.
The customer service was excellent. The staff, particularly the manger, can’t do enough for you. Very pleasant indeed.

Breakfast was OK but could have been better. Continental breakfast was simple, fresh juice would have been nice. Hot breakfast didn't appear to have been cooked to order.
Lovely welcome, large room, well equipped and comfortable. A little dated but lots of character. Fridge in room was handy. Nice bar area and fantastic Black Forest Gateau cocktail. Really enjoyed evening meal. Good parking.

There wasn't anything to "dislike" Chef wasn't available one night because of a family issue...can't hold that against the premises. Apart from that - and its not a dislike, more of a suggested improvement; would be to have the lights in the car park working. They were there just not lit meaning cars were sat in near total darkness.
It was booked on my behalf. Its a little out of the way but I am glad it was. It is a superb place to spend time (for myself) when working away from home and the staff morning and night were brilliant. Food that I had at night was good, and I loved my breakfast - I think honestly was one of the first places that actually know how to cook scrambled eggs. Coffee was good too. Comfort? just a personal thing would have liked the bed to be firmer and a little clearer on the spa facilities. Whilst I wasn't there for them - having found there was a sauna on site - Id have liked it to have been available, but I understand why it wouldn't be kept on constantly. I made use of the spa facilities at my own cost to see if it helped with a bad back. Was good and enjoyed it. Question would I go back? If it was for work - yes absolutely if it was whilst travelling through/ nearby for somewhere to stay for a couple of nights --- again yes, absolutely! Not sure if I will be nearby working again soon, but if I am I'll be asking for same accommodation.

Walls are wafer thin so just someone watching the tele in the room next door kept me awake half the night, not ideal when I had something important to do the following day. Wouldn’t recommend if you actually need a good nights sleep.
Really nice old building visually, garden, parking and location is quite remote so quiet surroundings

I think the room had been recently refurbished and possibly needed finishing touches. It looked a little sterile with no pictures on the walls. Furniture was a little mis-matched, but bed very comfortable. No sockets near any of the mirrors, how is a girl to dry and style her hair? USB sockets next to the bed would have been a modern touch.
Food was particularly good, nice bar area with a good range of drinks and the garden was welcome on a hot sunny afternoon. Room was clean and comfortable.
