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...).

rooms were very good, comfortable, great size and well equipped. dog friendly was also a big bonus for us! lots of separate rooms to relax in.

United KingdomService hours for dinner were limited (last orders at 7:45 pm.) although this might have been because I was there out-of-season (March).
Breakfast was included in the room rate. You could choose between a cold buffet, a hot Anglo / American menu or both! Dinner was beautifully cooked. I chose the home-made Herefordshire steak and ale pie with fresh local vegetables. Excellent!

United KingdomWe honestly thought it was far too hot throughout the hotel. Our room was 26°C after we took a reading from my smartphone.. the radiator controls were isolated, so I repaired the controls, which gave us a pleasant night's sleep.. and no,I didn't charge..
Great welcome from reception right through to bar staff, restaurant staff and breakfast staff. Very welcoming and eager to help with our requirements. Great food from the restaurant and an amazing choice of local products. It's definitely worth a trip to stay and eat here..

United KingdomThe room we had for 3 night (room 2) was small and felt like we had been shut away in a corner. It would have been fine for a single night. it would have been nicer to have a more spacious room for our longer stay. There was also something banging in the wind for 2 of the nights in the garden beneath the window. The shower screen leaked onto the floor. The heating made alot of noise when it can on The walls were very thin and we could here the nabouring rooms conversion and showering.
The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean and well presented.
