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 water pressure in the shower wasn't great, but that's us really clutching at straws for something to write in this box!
The spa is excellent, feels so luxurious and wasn't cramped or crowded and the facilities were amazing. The staff at the spa were so lovely and helpful. The room was clean and well stocked, and we had the best nights sleep we have had in a long time! The staff were all friendly and so helpful. Having access to the leisure facilities included was a great bonus too and we used the pool, steam room, and jacuzzi several times. The breakfast included was also spot on, great choice and nice to have options other than a full English. Again the staff were wonderful.

United KingdomPub waiting times to get a drink - too long. Waiting times at Spa reception - too long. Holte Spa floor (inside) could do with a thorough and deep clean. Spa entrance could do with a sign directing people to the main reception. Younger breakfast staff could do with some further customer service training….
Great location, lovely hotel, plenty of space and great facilities. We loved our bedroom. Overall staff were great - polite and helpful.

United KingdomThe room was hot and needs air conditioning. The room would benefit from a mini fridge. The stay was nice but a bit pricey for food.
The Hotel was in a really lovely location and the food was good although the time it took was a bit excessive. Perhaps for children the menu options were a little limited. (The pasta options were more adult taste- a simple spaghetti bolognese would be more suitable). The staff were pleasant and the main decor throughout the hotel is nice. Breakfast was good with plenty of options. The local attractions are easy to get to and the walk to Lakeside is worth the effort.

United KingdomFilm of dust on bedroom units - not good. Service at evening meal was slow - had to get up and get own drinks from the bar as they had been sat there for 10 mins. £20 for bowl of pasta wasn’t great value for money - bland and looked to have been re-heated - for that money should have been cooked from fresh. The other meal (cod) however was really good.
Location, been before - sitting beside the river

United KingdomOur room could have done with curtains, the shutters didn't close effectively to keep the car lights out from the bridge. Also the windows didn't open far enough and it was way too hot (however, it was an unusually warm few days and it would've been too hot at home also)
Great location, friendly staff and the spa is absolutely fantastic. We've been to the spa before and decided to have an overnight stay and spa as we enjoyed it that much.

United KingdomThe restaurant service in the evening was slightly disappointing. Drinks had to be asked for several times and I had to call for my meal. No offence but all the staff seemed very young, with no overall experienced manager. The food was nice though. Outside areas could have done with being cleared more regularly.
Bedrooms were well equipped. Decor was lovely. Wonderful spa facilities. Lovely building in a beautiful location

United KingdomThe restaurant has a number of issues , from lack of cutlery when food and drinks arrived, to waiting for food , then finding it's been standing and dried out. Items were missing mainly what's stated on a full breakfast menu or cooked too much if they are there . It's not a good experience food wise.
Location is lovely, facilities are very good, the room was comfy and really quiet for being a large venue.

United KingdomIt was relatively warm and air conditioning didn't work in the room. We opened the window but couldn't work out how to keep the window open and ended up using a can of drink to prop it open. It's fairly pricey not sure totally worth the price. Breakfast was ok, good menu but the wait was quite long and the poached eggs weren't runny.
Room spacious and bed was comfortable. Although we didn't have time to use the spa and gym facilities, they looked good.

United KingdomIn the pub the wine we ordered couldn’t be found , then our second choice of drinks took forever to arrive. Server was apologetic but we had gone up to the bar to try and find out where our drinks were. Then our food arrived some time after people who had arrived and ordered about 10 minutes after us. The restaurant meal was ok but my husband’s pet hate no soup spoons. The people in the room upstairs from us were somewhat noisy and disturbed us moving about. Grout in the bathroom was a bit tired and could do with redoing.
Room comfortable and comfy bed. Would have liked a hook for the hand held shower. Not a fan of rainforest showers. Didn’t bring a shower cap. Breakfast average, have had better and worse. Good selection of cereals etc. Dinner in the pub was tasty. Dinner in the restaurant was ok but expected a more refined experience.
