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 KingdomRestaurant dinner service a little disorganised - on the last night our starter never arrived but when the mains came out and we asked about the starter the waitress said that she had noticed the bread sitting in the kitchen for some time, she then brought it out but the bread was toasted and the herb butter had separated creating a pool of oil. We asked for it to be taken away and removed from the bill and after they had checked with the manager this was done but despite us explaining that we had that starter the evening before last and the butter was creamy and the bread was definitely not toasted at all, we were told that they had changed the way it was served so that the butter made a pool of oil which was supposed to spill over onto the plate and the bread was supposed to be crispy!! I commented that I thought that it had been under a warmer but that wasn’t accepted. Finally we ordered our desserts and a liquor coffee for after, our desserts were served after the table behind us who had ordered theirs some time after us but the worst thing was that my liquor coffee was delivered before our desserts arrived and I had to drink it before our desserts had been delivered. When our desserts arrived the waitress commented that mine didn’t look quite right and my opinion, which I kept to myself, was that it had been under a warmer for too long, not good for a Key Lime Pie. The waitress did offer to take it back and get another but I was nearly at the end and didn’t want to prolong the agony. I suppose we could have sent our mains back and had a fresh start or I could have refused my coffee but when you are having your anniversary meal there is a point when you just want to make the best of a bad situation. This was our second visit to this hotel the first being just after lockdown so the restaurant wasn’t open on our first visit therefore unfortunately we do not have anything to compare this experience to.
Wonderful room with fantastic view of bay, excellent facilities in room and room servicing also excellent. Staff very friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomThe cleaning was a bit haphazard, the stairs on the way up to the second floor weren’t hoovered during our stay, and toiletries weren’t replaced when they run out.

United KingdomThere are 30 stairs to climb in the main hotel - no lifts. Not too much of a problem but worth noting. Swimming pool is very shallow at one end and small - not good for proper swimming if more than 5 trying to do the same! Buffet breakfast on Saturday was warm but no where near as HOT as it was on previous days when brought straight from the kitchen (that was lovely!!). Grounds have walks but they are usually up and down hills! Bed was a small double bed!
The room had a lovely view across the harbour. The food was good - far too much on occasions but, apart from buffet on Saturday, always HOT! Staff friendly and helpful. Swimming pool clean and door opened very quickly each time I visited. Grounds are beautiful. We were so lucky with the weather - forecast said cloudy each day but we had wall-to-wall sunshine. Local bus service (hourly) passes the end of the drive - used our bus passes!!

United KingdomThe neighbouring lodge clearly had used our parking space but there was ample other spaces a bit further down the hill; as we were only staying one night we did not follow up on this but it would have been easier to check in and out if we could have used the parking space assigned to our lodge. Unfortunately the steam room was not in operation during our stay. One of the single beds squeaked and was not as comfortable as expected. The food was satisfactory but not as amazing as the prices would suggest.
Welcoming staff, helpful and understanding when we had a discrepancy about checkout time. The staff gave us complimentary water to take when leaving. The lounge area, bathroom, hallway and bedrooms were all of a substantial size. Tea and coffee sachets were provided which was much appreciated. We had full access to the facilities including swimming pool and bar area throughout our stay. There is a simple process to book in to the pool in order to make sure its not too crowded with guests. Towels to be used by the pool were not in our rooms as mentioned but this was quickly resolved with the front desk and the lifeguard provided these upon our arrival. The pool area is very clean with a lovely little sauna and jacuzzi. There is a beautiful woodlands walk around at the back of the manor beneath the terrace; it is on quite a slope so recommend wearing supportive footwear (but I did just about manage it in heeled boots without tripping/falling!). We had a wonderful day sitting in the sun and ate lunch there together with some drinks; I recommend that you wear suncream if a hot day as a very good sun spot - I caught the sun! :D

United KingdomWe had dinner in the restaurant Da Kona, they had balloons out for my birthday which was a nice touch, however we finished our main meal and were thinking about desert, but it took over 45minutes for anyone to come over and take our empty plates. (We had to call someone over) so by that point we were past it and asked for the bill. It was quite comical really because by the time someone acknowledged us one of the balloons had completely deflated. The food that we did have was nice, just disappointing to be forgotten for such a long time whilst others around us were looked after. The WiFi didn’t work very well, and the ‘smart tv’ didn’t actually work (Netflix etc)
Gorgeous sized room with a good size bath, gorgeous views of the sea (which we paid extra for) Clean room, good facilities, big comfy bed but bring your own pillows because the ones in the room aren’t great.

United KingdomRooms a little dated and no plug sockets next to the bed was inconvenient. Breakfast starts from 8am which compared to other hotels is extremely late - not ideal for those travelling for work.
Great location and a very pleasant hotel experience. The rooms were a little dated but were clean and I had a sea view which was nice. Breakfast was fantastic, a huge buffet selection with everything you could ever want, as well as a selection of dishes made to order. All really good quality as well.

United KingdomSadly the second evening our meal was not up to the four stars. We had goats cheese pizza with chicken ceaser salad. The chicken was chewy and pizza had hardly any goats cheese and was cheap and overcooked. We did mention and they kindly gave us a drink on the house but in all honesty I felt it let the hotel down. I also found out another guest felt the same way about pizza night before. The pizza was £16! The breakfast was superb though.
It was just wonderful and very palacios. The staff were excellent and so welcoming and friendly. We had the upgraded room with own patio area. It was very clean and comfortable.
