How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There was a crack in the ceiling in the bedroom
We stayed in the Richmond suite and loved the large room with 4 poster bed, that was so comfortable. The bath for 2 was perfect for a romantic evening dip. The breakfast was A*.

We stayed in the Stang room. We understand the property is listed and the windows were being replaced one at a time and looked very smart from the front but the glass in our side window could have dropped on the path below with nothing more than a strong breeze. Hopefully the remaining windows will be replaced soon.
A friendly welcome, the property was lovely full of charm and character. Our bed was very comfortable and breakfast was great, cooked to order. We managed to park right outside and the parking disc worked perfectly for us. Location just off the market square was so convenient for shops, places to eat and the castle.

Excellent location close to the market place. Friendly and helpful staff who frequently checked with guests to ensure they had everything they needed. Good choice of items for breakfast. Our room was very spacious and well appointed with a separate seating area. Parking turned out to be very straight forward, simply a case of remembering to reset your parking disc in the evening.

Carpet in the bathroom is a bit bizarre but don't know if all the rooms are like that or just the one we stayed in.
Upon arrival the host was there to greet us and was very friendly/welcoming, once shown our room we each received a complimentary drink which was a lovely and thoughtful touch. Car parking is free at the market as you are provided a disk by the hotel, we were there before the craft/farmers market so had to be careful not to park in the cordoned off section but even with an area closed off there was still plenty of spaces. The room was spacious, neat and tidy, the bed was super comfortable and the pillows were to my liking as they didn't give me a sore neck as I have experienced at other hotels. We couldn't hear any of the other guests while we were sleeping so slept really well. Breakfast was superb and you can customise it to your preferences the night before so there isn't a long wait for it the morning. They also supplied a mixed cereal, fruit and juice area that you can help yourself to before the hot breakfast comes. Was very good and hope to stay again soon.

The Castle House is in the perfect location. It's right in the heart of Richmond, but is tucked round the corner away from any noise. The lady who checked us in was wonderful and we enjoyed a complimentary drink. Our room was lovely and the sloping floor is a great example of the history of this old and beautiful building. Parking in the square was fine and was free for 2 hours and overnight.

The Wi-Fi in the room - my devices couldn’t always find the right network in the room so I had to go downstairs to connect. It wasn’t a major problem, just a slight inconvenience.
Breakfast - the poached eggs and smoked salmon on toast were excellent!
