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 very steep drive up from the town was a bit intimidating but it's fine, just stay in 1st or 2nd and take the corners wide and slow. I didn't do it in the dark but daylight fine...worth the climb up.!!
the rooms were lovely, decorated beautifully. the shower was great and nice touch with the porridge and brioche for breakfast. The view from the double rooms on first floor are stunning, especially at night. There is a little seated area outside where you could have your cuppa or food bought yourself.

United KingdomLovely room and location - there was no hairdryer and had to request on arrival even tho it said there was one (the one we got given worked for 20 secs then broke). There was a dog next door to our room and it kept barking through the night which made it a bit hard to sleep

United Kingdom-Not that I needed it, but noticed the only thing not provided was toothpaste. Given the distance to the shops that I was aware of, could be inconvenient for people who may have forgotten theirs -Not a fault of the hotel, but the roads leading to it are very winding and steep at times, if your car/legs can't manage the hills, I'd go somewhere else
-Enough pillows I could construct a throne if I wanted on the bed -Comfortable mattress - I didn't wake up in pain despite it not being/having memory foam like I normally need to avoid pain, very impressed -Good selection of breakfast snacks and drinks -Plenty of towels and toiletries -Very clean -View from the balcony was incredible despite the treeline -Walking trail directly next to the premises to provide an even better, unobstructed view of the town -Very quiet area so easy to fall asleep

United KingdomThere was no heating in the room. We were offered a heater, however, we were out in the city. I was asked to let the host know when we were back. We got back before 9pm and advised the host that the room was still freezing but we got no reply to our message, we also had a child with us. No discount or appolgies for the inconvenience, therefore, won't be returning.
Great view through the window, very clean.
