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):
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 KingdomWe were virtually the only guests and it gave the impression of the Marie Celeste. We wnted a double romm but the information when booking showed only the twin rooms available. the room was pretty basic but adequate for a one nighter. The accomodation was in the deserted showground. We found it but not that easy to find
The breakfast was fine. there was only one member of staff reposible for reception and kitchen

United KingdomRooms, very small and hot! . No bar open to enjoy a drink or two. TV on for kids in bar/ lounge area would have been a bonus rather than having to stay in your room. No evening meals available. Not as described on website! Not really child or dog friendly and we were not aware that we had to pay £10 a night our dog.
Breakfast!. Good variety offered and cooked breakfast was delicious! Did have to change room as it was supposed to be a deluxe room but definitely did not look as advertised for a deluxe room, however, we were offered another room which was satisfactory but still not a deluxe as photograph on web site. Very misleading. Bathroom was clean and so was the bedding.

United KingdomAll of it, even the grass outsude the room was nearly knee high full if weeds. It looked like a building site in places.
It had 6 stains on the floor, 2 big parches of brown damp stains on the ceiling, dressing table should have been thrown out years ago. The manager was rude saying I hope he doesnt yap all night, the first thing he said to us and aimed at our puppy. His co worker said we will be charged for stains etc... and went on about the dog, which I get but when we saw the room I wouldnt say id be worried about any other stains. It was awful, we were charged £10 extra for our dog, so £160 to stay their!! I wasnt staying their, it was the wirst hotel ive ever seen. Its classes as a luxury room too! In all fairness the Manager fully refunded us and we found a lovely hitel 12mins away, where we had a suite for £5 cheaper.

The member of staff we called to book in was very helpful and stayed on the phone to give us directions. He was also very friendly at breakfast the following morning.

United KingdomWhen we arrived to get our room key, we only got the key then left as we had plans however the gentleman was not professional, and he swore in jest but I did not find this amusing as he was there to do a job. We booked a deluxe double room, with a travel cot for our baby, however it was two single beds and no cot in the room, also no staff around to ask at the time we came back to the room. There was a hornet on the bed and faeces marks all in the toilet, there was also dust everywhere and a stain on one of the single beds under the pillow. I was going to discuss these at check out as we were only staying one night however at 8:30am there was no one on the desk and we did not have time to wait for someone. We will not be returning
It was a very pretty hotel from the outside
