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 KingdomIt was a hot night and the replacement fans kindly provided did not keep the room cool enough to sleep. There was a wedding party downstairs which was loud till about 11pm.
Breakfast was good although because there was a wedding party there was only the buffet, not the wider menu. The staff were very nice and replaced the broken fan in the room.

United KingdomAlthough clean , decor and furnishings need refurbishment in both bedroom and bathroom. Appreciate this costs money and with hospitality in the UK under threat can understand why it hasn’t been done.
Great location and excellent on site parking. We had a queen size room so spacious. Staff were very friendly and helpful - any queries were quickly dealt with. Lovely Victorian building, full of character rather than a bland travel lodge or premier inn. Restaurant has been refurbished and was a lovely place to dine in.

United KingdomDecor in our room slight scruffy. Thin walls meant that we heard our neighbour’s snoring loudly. Required to provide a time we were coming for breakfast the night before which seemed a bit demanding. Bar closed before 10.
Well located. Good nights sleep. Good breakfast. Good value for money. Nice garden with good views. Common areas looked smart

United KingdomUnfortunately I got locked in the bathroom, an unpleasant experience but I can't blame the hotel as it was due to something a previous occupier had done. To read the menu & info in our room you had to be able to use a QR code-not something we can do.
This is our second 2 night stay this year. The food was excellent- can recommemd the steak & ale pie! Breakfast was lovely too. Lovely room with a view. Staff very helpful.

United KingdomWe arrived back at around 2245 and there was a used tray outside the first room as you went upstairs. I walk with a walking stick and unfortunately when we left in the morning the tray was still there, I didn’t see it, slightly tripped and stood in the food. Not great it was still outside just under 12 hrs later.
It was in the perfect location for a wedding we attended locally
