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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomWe stayed in the Hafod room which is located right next to reception, unfortunately this meant that we could hear staff conversing and working late into the night. I will say however this did seem to stop at around half 11
Very clean. The room was large with everything needed. The towels were the best we’ve come across in a hotel The shower was amazing Perfectly located

Unfortunately the hot breakfast was painfully slow to arrive,approximately 40 minutes from ordering, thankfully we were not in any rush. When it did arrive it was very good. Front of house very pleasant, struggled in Kitchen.
Lovely hotel, rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. Friendly check in staff, had a very nice 1 night stay, Nice bar area very relaxing stay.

United KingdomThe hotel is lovely and has some lovely characteristics but it does need updating in areas, the communal areas in the town house are dated, the doors are dated, the champagne bar, whilst lovely, is very 1980's. It just needs a revamp. The banquet hall was very busy at breakfast so had to wait quite a while.
The location of the hotel was perfect, free on site parking was great. The room (in the townhouse) was immaculate, spacious, warm and loved the Molton Brown shower gels. So nice to have robes too. Staff were lovely. Check in was easy. Bed (4 poster) was very comfortable, crisp white bedding and lovely pillows.

United KingdomThe only downside was that I kept being woken up either by somebody moving around next door then, by what sounded like keys being rattled around in a bowl. This happened a few times and I’m not sure what it was.
Loved the breakfast and staff. All very helpful. Was a great location for going into town. A nice room which was comfy and the bathroom was really nice. The main building is really impressive. Having parking right outside (free) is a bonus.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff who were all very efficient when the fire alarm went off early in the morning and we had to evacuate . Our room was so lovely, couldn't have asked for more really.
