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 KingdomThe facilities in the swimming pool/spa were a bit dated, only one shower had shower gel in it, no robes, lockers didn’t lock. And when I realised I left something in there, staff were nowhere to be found. Disappointing part of the hotel. But the rest is fine.

United Kingdomcarpet was a bit dated in our room, needed a shampoo.
Lovely country hotel with large carpark. The receptionist was lovely, very friendly and helpful about the area. The room was quite big, and that and the bathroom were very clean. We were in a ground floor room as requested but we really needed some sort of blinds/net curtain at window as it was overlooking a rear carpark. Breakfast was lovely . We sat in the bar as we had a dog but it was lovely and the waiters were very good.

United KingdomI do not wish to censorious. Trying to install modern facilities such as showers in old buildings always presents problems. Up to a point, Rowton Hall has coped with this. Actually I would always prefer this sort of building to the soulless modern muti-corridor, multi-level establishment. But please make allowances.
Very pleasant old Georgian building in well tended grounds including beautiful gardens. All the staff, without exception, were hard working and attentive. The restaurant provides a distinctive menu. The cod was flaky and flavoursome. Risotto perhaps a bit small. Good choice of breakfast.

United KingdomToilet flush wasn't working properly so we were upgraded. Still problems with the flush but not as bad. Carpet stained - needed a good shampoo. Waiting on staff were lovely but they were not pro-active. They require proper training. No-one at the bar when we required service and they disappeared when drinks were served. At breakfast no cereal bowls (we had to ask). Plates were not cleared away although when we finished eating we were asked if we'd like more tea/coffee! Payment was taken off twice and we are still waiting for it to show in our account. Two lady receptionists were excellent. Guy on the desk when we checked out was a bit abrupt. Thought it didn't seem to matter that we'd been charged twice!!
Upgraded to a lovely room. The staff were very polite.

United KingdomYorkshire pudding very over cooked. Desserts too sweet and chocolate brownie unnecessarily doused in caramel sauce. But these aspects didn’t spoil what was overall a lovely comfortable stay.
The garden is amazing - full of the most beautiful flowers. Staff very helpful and friendly. At dinner the starters and most of the main course, particularly the meat, were excellent. At breakfast the porridge and coffee were particularly good and there was a good choice of food.Bedroom was spacious, nicely decorated and bed very comfortable.

United KingdomThe room 101 had a view of a blank wall despite the hotel being in a park. Worse than that the restaurant extractor fan was audible so you couldn't leave the window open. OK on a cold night but not good in summer. We felt a bit like we'd been given the worst room because we ignored their offer to bid for an upgrade. Which was odd because they said the hotel was full. There was a works conference going on as well taking up 80% of the hotel and while it wasn't obtrusive it made the hotel feel a bit empty of life. Also though the breakfast was fine if you wanted the full English you had to pay extra.
Lovely setting, colourful gardens, we actually got married here 10 years ago so it was a little revisit. Room was a good size and comfortable. The pool area is excellent and we had it to ourselves.
