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 KingdomThe wi fi didn't work in our room. The signposting to the hotel was inadequate and we wasted quite a lot of time trying to find the hotel. Our room was right in the basement. The shallow end of the pool was so shallow that we could not swim in that part. The communication at breakfast was very poor but one more experienced lady provided welcome humour. We were only allowed to book in at 4 and had to leave at 10. This does seem poor value if rated as one day.
The room was large and new. It was clean and comfortable. There were seats outside to relax in. The staff were friendly and the reception welcome was specially good. Some of the staff were very inexperienced but tried their best. The view from a higher level was good and there was a nice wooded area to walk in. The pool was well heated and sensibly managed. The jacuzzi was enjoyable and my wife was very happy with the massage she booked.

United Kingdomcheck in at 4pm is far too late. Especially after travelling from so far away. This is the latest check in I’ve ever experienced and it was awful waiting a full day after travelling to get into the room. No air conditioning - we had a fan but it just blew warm air around the room and didn’t help “fan” 3 of us.

United KingdomBreakfast was average. The one dinner we had was pretty poor, bad cafe standard at best. Two meals were not edible and returned. Overall the place needs attention. to detail and a good chef to look at the menu and transform it ! WiFi terrible. Lodge basic but was as expected tbh. Although we were promised a sea view that was not the case but didn’t companion.
Pool and spa facilities. Staff friendly and overall had a good time. I wouldn’t tell others not to go.

United KingdomI didn't have great experience with restaurant as there were limited choices of food there. On top of that the waiters were not attentive to our family as they have been to other families. We were polite guests but I wonder why though.
I really like the location and woodlands walk area. The view from terrace was fantastic. The room was quite decent and reception staff were really accommodating.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything lacking, just be aware that there are a few stairs to get to the rooms (especially the rooms upstairs) and it is warm in the rooms in the summer but not uncomfortably so. Will have to return again in the winter to pass fair judgement ;-)
Admittedly I didn't know much about the hotel before our arrival, I just hoped it would be nice as the photos online seem to show, but...what a gem! From first sight of the hotel and grounds, to the warm welcome and to the fond farewell - we all loved every minute of our stay and it totally exceeded our expectations. Every member of the team working there was very friendly and made us feel at home (and yes, they do have a good sense of humour!). The rooms were lovely and large with everything we needed (fridge, hairdryer, bath mat, toiletries, very comfortable beds). We enjoyed both breakfast and evening meals at the hotel and can't fault either. I know some people have complained about the price, but it's not unreasonable considering everything was fresh and tasty. Breakfast was regularly replenished and there was a lot of choice (do book a table at busier times). We took part in the Tuesday evening quiz which was good fun with interesting questions. We also enjoyed use of the swimming pool which has a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi in the same location. The changing rooms were clean and extra towels were available in our rooms. The grounds and building itself are lovely, lots of history and interest (just ask at the reception desk if you want to learn more). The breakfast and dining rooms have impressive paneled walls. The tortoises and play area were a lovely extra for our kids and they enjoyed playing with the large connect 4 in the garden. The view from the back of the building down to the sea was stunning. We hope to return and stay in one of the cabins - one of the other guests I was chatting with assured me how spacious and lovely they were and rated them over and above the ones at Centre Parks. I look forward to seeing them! We didn't get to try out the spa, but I'm sure we will on a longer stay. If you have an electric car, there's a charging point near the entrance to the hotel. I'd write more but have run out of ...!

United KingdomThe room we had was on the second floor which without a lift was quite a hike, as we stayed for 5 nights we had quite a bit of luggage to take up. The room was also very hot.

United KingdomGym was tiny Annoying that you had to book slots for both gym and spa which meant you had to plan ahead which on a holiday isn’t particularly fun Bedroom was very hot (south facing I think) a fan was provided but window didn’t open enough probably due to safety Think there may have been a staffing issue with serving or taking orders for drinks outside

United KingdomI did not like the the pool was over crowded. Make it difficult to 🏊♀️ swim.Due to lots of kids in the pool had to be careful. The road to get to the hotel oh wow was so narrow. We had to be extra careful not to hit another car. I was so 😱 scared. The restaurant was disappointed not a lot of choices with meal selection and no cocktails, just basic drinks. When we first arrived there was 2 bottle waters in the fridge which we like. However no refills of water when room was cleaned.
I love the room was so spacious and tue view from the window was exceptional 👌. The tube inbthe washroom was big and deep which I love. The sunna ,pool and jacuzzi was OK.
