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 hotel is on a busy road junction, so there is constant traffic noise.
The location was very convenient, not far from the station and within easy walking distance of the town centre - ideal for those, like us, travelling without a car. The rooms had clearly been recently refurbished and were clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThe only thing was that unfortunately we were on the top floor without air conditioning and although we could open the window and we had a fan ,it was unbearably hot as we'd visited on an exceptionally hot weekend. I'd definitely stay at The Plough again on a cooler weekend as we had a great time exploring Northampton.
The staff were very helpful and pleasant

United KingdomWe had to wait a little while for the receptionist to appear at check-in and for breakfast, but that wasn't really a big issue.
The staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large with a lovely shower. It was extremely hot but a fan had been put in our room and there was free water in the fridge. The hotel was about a 5 minute walk from the theatre, so very convenient. Breakfast was £10 which was very reasonable, and the cooked breakfast was quite big, so good value for money.

United KingdomRoom 4 was disappointing. It was clean, had a fridge and the bathroom was very big. However the bedroom was quite small with a huge tv in front of the window so it was very difficult to draw the blind and curtains, especially with the wardrobe and cupboard in the way. No chair either. The tv needs to go on the wall so you don't have to look sideways to watch it.
Friendly helpful staff. Cooked breakfast very good. Great location for theatre.

United KingdomThere was some traffic noise but I chose the hotel as it was near the railway station for my return journey to London. I didn't mind it really.
The staff members were kind and considerate. I'm disabled and walk with a walking stick. One staff member carried my luggage up to the first floor and another was kind about showing me that my room had a bath and shower and enquired if that was ok for me. I love a bath but do sometimes have problems getting in and out of them.This bathroom and bath were wonderful; large and absolutely spacious enough for easy access. I loved the room and the large bed. This was room 3 which I'll ask for next time I'm here. The breakfast was superb. The little fridge was a nice addition.

Greeted with a smile on arrival and reception staff were helpful throughout my visit. Room was clean and comfortable. Location was excellent - a few mins walk from town centre and parking for free on-site was a real bonus. Cooked breakfast was really good and freshly cooked to order.

United KingdomThere is no lift and so there’s quite a lot of stairs if you’re on a higher floor and have a heavy bag it might be a problem, although I’m sure the wonderful staff would help if necessary. The cooked breakfast was really good but could have been slightly smaller. I don’t think two fried eggs each was necessary.
The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean with a large comfortable bed. We were given lots of lovely fluffy towels and the shower was great with good water flow and temperature. The breakfast ( full English) was really good and delicious. Generally excellent value for money, particularly as the parking was free.
