Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe shower sounded as though it was going to take off it was so noisy, and on the hottest night of the year, we only had a cool/hot air fan, which was totally inadequate. Unfortunately, the sun was shining into our room until sunset, which didn’t help.
Position for our planned activities, and the surroundings, there were some lovely country walks. The breakfast was one of the best I have had at a hotel.

United KingdomSince it was the start of the Summer holidays, it looked as though a new group of younger staff were being trained to work in the restaurant So, on balance, restaurant service could have been much better. During the first part of our stay, we had to search around the whole restaurant to find our table (using the signs for our two rooms on it). Sadly, on our last morning (simply because staff numbers appeared to be lower and those on duty seemed to consist of younger staff) there were no room signs on any table. So, we had to look for a staff member to tell us where we were able to sit. Also - on arrival, although we'd asked for two rooms on the ground floor (one for my wife and one in another room for her long-standing female friend in the other room) - simply because both ladies are in their late 70's and find stairs really difficult - we were only offered two rooms on the first floor,, that were next to each other. The final thought that we had was that the hotel rooms were separate from the dining area (meaning that we had to walk about 200-300 yards between them - to find the Dining area (which could be difficult for older people - especially during Winter months, if it was raining). We also felt that the hotel was now starting to look "dated".
The surroundings of the Golf Club were pleasant - and it was fairly central for each of the places that we wanted to visit during our 4 night stay. The breakfasts were good and plentiful - though the fruit with the cereals was limited to prunes and grapefruit - the latter of which we cannot eat, because of our medication. The accommodation was reasonable and seemed to be well-kept- though the upstairs rooms (except the corner rooms) - were smaller than average.

United StatesIt didn’t feel like we were treated well. We arrived late due to the train, and were told to pick up keys at the clubhouse. A very young man, who seemed to have never checked someone in before, stumbled through the process. He gave us keys and pointed to where we would find the lodge. It was ACROSS the street, and BEHIND a completely different building! I can’t believe he didn’t walk us over there himself! Then…when we got to the lodge door, a large man was fumbling in his pockets. He eventually admitted he didn’t have his key or the door code, then stood back and looked at me expectantly to let him in! So…here I am, a woman with her 17 years old son, in the dark, with a bunch of luggage, and a stranger is expecting me to just let him into a secured building I plan to sleep in… Nope!! I let him know that wasn’t happening, and he needed to find help for himself. I stood back and waited while he called his son down to let him in. Then!! He rushed inside and angrily shut the door behind him. Incredibly rude. I waited for them to clear away, then used our code to let myself and my son in. In short…their after hours check in procedure could use some improvement. It was a very regrettable experience.
It was on a beautiful golf course.

United KingdomThe temperature in the room. A stand alone unit was provided however the room was very warm, which was a shame as it made our stay somewhat uncomfortable. My son said, if providing clubs for the driving range (he's new to golf) a greater selection of clubs should be available. There wasn't a driver available.
The hotel had a golf course and facilities, which I wasn't aware of when I booked but it did make my son happy! The rooms were well equipped and the beds were very comfy. At breakfast, the buffet had either fried or scrambled eggs. I don't eat either however the staff did get some poached eggs for me. There was a wide selection of items to choose from on both the hot buffet as well as the pastries and cereals. I felt there could have been a greater selection of fruit to accompany the granola and yogurts. The staff we encountered throughout were hospitable and helpful when we needed them.
