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.).

The breakfast and dinner were excellent! We also love the location. It is just in the middle of the town. The staffs were also very friendly and helpful. If you want to visit the Oundle School, this is the right place to stay. Very beautiful stay!

United KingdomNothing really
The location is excellent - right in the centre of this lovely market town. We were upgraded to a suite which was much appreciated.. The large room was divided into two parts by an open partition in the original wooden frame. The building is 'full of character' and is not like any other hotel we have stayed in. The breakfast was very good indeed. The property was 'spotless' and the staff very helpful.

United KingdomThere was nothing that made me unhappy with the stay.
The hotel and staff were excellent as were the meals we ate there. Nothing was too much trouble, right down to providing a bucket and cloth to wash off Bird poo that was splattered over my car when I foolishly parked beneath the trees in the car park. Lesson Learnt!

United KingdomBreakfast. Pre cooked reheated but served cold. Scrambled egg was hot the rest cold. awful soapy mushroom, black pudding waxy, tomato dried out where it had been cut in half. Beans almost fizzing nasty taste, frozen bread for toast dried out. Not sure where the fruit salad originated from possibly a tin. Bacon dried out fat not cooked. All in all very unpleasant.

United KingdomWe would have preferred a later breakfast. The staff didn't get my order right (forgot my eggs), no one came to check on us. We had to keep asking for cutlery, sauces etc. We came down 15 minutes before breakfast ended & it seemed they were getting ready for the next big meals? It was a shame. No one came to ask how things were or if we needed anything but we sorted ourselves out & did get what we needed anyway. So no harm done! It was difficult to get through to a real person when dialling the hotel number (we were only up the road at family's), so found it easier to actually turn up in person! But even when we came in person, no one was manning reception (no bell to ring for attention). We had to go to the restaurant opposite to get someone's attention.
The bed was very comfortable & we loved our tea and coffee making facilities plus lovely shower gels etc in the bathroom. Liked our radio too! Your lovely member of staff rang us to say we'd forgotten headphones in room so we came to pick them up. Was very kind. Thank you.
