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 KingdomNothing. It was unfortunate we couldn’t park in one of the two free car park spaces outside which are on a first come first basis. However, there was plenty of parking opposite in the car park. It cost £21 for 3 days parking which we didn’t find too bad.
When I made the booking I mentioned we were staying for our wedding anniversary. The bed had been made up with balloons and rose petals which was a lovely touch. We thought the room was lovely and cosy, just what we needed. It had a fridge, tea and coffee with biscuits, a kettle, an iron and ironing board, a fan, a heater a hand held mirror and a hair dryer. The hair dryer had a diffuser attachment which as a curly haired girl this was fantastic and not something I usually come across! The location was great, lots of lovely places to eat just down the road (recommend Misto Italian amazing!!) The bus stop is located just outside the log house.

United Kingdomthere was some noise from the apartment above. the shower cubicle was small and the fixed overhead was no good for anyone not wanting to get wet hair. It is a little difficult to set the correct temp without getting wet. Parking over the road was very expensive.
the location was good, very close to the main streets with restaurants, shops and pubs and just for walking. the arrival instructions were good and easy to use the room was very clean and had everything required.

I Couldn't have found a better place to stay. The room was everything we'd wanted and more. Super comfy bed and a good sized bathroom and fab bath and shower. Tea, coffee and biscuits supplied and restocked the next day, an absolute essential :) A really lovely and clean place to stay, within a short walking distance of the town centre. I can't wait to stay again!

United KingdomThe fan wasn't good enough for how hot it was, we barely slept first night because of the heat. Not enough parking, only 2 free spaces, but at least there is a car park across the street.
The room was very clean, which is one of the most important things for me. The location was perfect, just between the city and the lake. I actually liked that it is not in the city; we avoided a lot of traffic. There is also parking right in front, which helps. The bed and pillows were very nice and comfortable. There is also tea, coffee, a kettle, and snacks provided in the room. The view was also very nice! For the money I think it is a very good accommodation.
