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.).

Verified reviewA building with superb architecture and in an ideal location. The staff were friendly, especially the evening receptionist, who also manages the bar. She even suggested we get a panini from the adjoining hotel to save the delay in her making one. The NCP car park code that the hotel can issue saves money on nearby NCP parking.
I am sad to say the bland but clean double bedroom only had one chair and no curtains. There was a blind, but it allowed sunlight to enter. Whilst there was coffee, there were only two teabags and no milk for two people per night. However, reception staff provided some after they were requested. They also provided a missing TV remote, after first searching for it in our bedroom and not finding it! Breakfast followed in a similar vein, with only one slice of toast per guest, which came with the tea. A ten-minute wait for the actual meal followed. Also, on both days, we both ordered duplicate meals. But the first one had finished before the second one had arrived. A problem was also created by yoghurts, fruit, or cakes being displayed in just twos or threes, and replaced by the same number. This resulted in a continuous shortage for the occupants of the twelve or so breakfast tables. It also kept the staff very busy in doing so. Despite the above, I should add that the staff were superb, especially Chris, who was not only very informative and helpful, but who were just following management instructions.

Verified reviewNice building with great views from the breakfast room.
We arrived early at 12 noon. We knew we wouldn’t be able to check in but wanted to leave bags and maybe get a key as we had plans until after 11pm. Really bad attitude and unwelcoming at reception. Put a sticker on our bag and said it might or might not be in the room later. The parking is shocking. Half price at the castle which is a really long walk. Room was very smelly and damp feel to it. Breakfast was just terrible. The BIG breakfast was one economy sausage, 10 beans, 1 mushroom cut into 8 bits, half a tomato half a scrambled egg and the smallest worst small bit of bacon I’ve ever tasted. For £230 for one night this is shocking. The cold selection was things like warm orange juice l, dairy Lea slice and warm cold economy ham. Won’t be back.

1 bedroom. We were up in the eaves, and my husband was continually banging his head on the side of the dormer window. 2 Our shower mat was threadbare 3 Food and crockery on the breakfast buffet was often missing and was slow and often not replenished 4 As a party of six we were told we could not sit together at breakfast, even when we were informed they would re-arrange this. Fire precautions were given as a reason but it would have been possible to sit in the corner and not block anyone.
