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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomIt is a tired property & the rooms need some money spending on them, our room didn’t have a shower only a bath, none of the windows could be opened so therefore it was very hot with no ventilation.
The property is in a lovely location, the staff are all helpful & friendly, the meals were all very good.

United KingdomNeeds an update however, as an 15th century building you would expect it to be a bit rough round the edges. A lick of paint and some modernising wouldnt go amiss but not too much otherwise you would take away from the character.
Great location, staff very accommodating and friendly, four poster bed which was very comfy. Lovely welcoming atmosphere.

United KingdomShower and toilet ensuite ,were tired looking and the loo was a mechanical loo which didn't always work. one felt worried using it in case it became blocked. One member of staff at breakfast seemed 'not on the plot!'
Good location, food good but massive quantities. Staff generally friendly and helpful.

United KingdomWe knew when we booked that the rooms were dated and in need of refurbishment and were surprised to find our room (number 14) wasn't too bad. The bed was clean and comfortable, but unfortunately the rest of the room needed a good clean. The tea cups were stained and had not been washed from the previous occupants and the window was dirty and full of spiders and dead flies. The shower had no power and the shower hose was thick in black mould, after seeing this I made the decision to strip wash rather than use. The television did not work when I asked about this I was told the aerial had been down for months, I thought it would have been useful for staff to mention this at check in so that we didn't spend time trying to get it to work.
Staff were friendly and approachable. Location was good. The bed was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThe floor had not been hoovered and was full of dog hair. The bathroom floor had not been swept or mopped for sometime. The rooms are very tired and need desperately redecorating. The ceiling in the dining room was in a poor state and all the furniture was sticky. A deep clean is desperately needed.
Hot water plenty of. The bedding was clean. The staff were very welcoming and the food was home cooked and plenty of it.
