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 KingdomUnfortunately some areas were really tired looking. I had a kettle in my room but no electric base so no way of boiling water. The bulb was out on the main light so I made do with an angle poise lamp. Annoyed that some clients left their empty shampoo and shower gel bottles in the shower cubicle. There was a bin so that was just laziness on their behalf. Woken at 4:30am by lorries thundering down the road outside...so maybe next time I'd request a room at the back where it's quieter.
Fantastic staff. So helpful and friendly. The bar area was busy and obviously a popular spot. The food was really plentiful and very tasty. Both food and drink were extremely well priced. My bedroom was clean and tidy and very near the shared bathroom. I appreciate the difficulty of providing en-suite facilities due to the extreme age of the property. Beautiful village/town.

United KingdomThere was a very small car park which was full on arrival but I did manage to park in the lay-by outside the pub. The room was very basic. Breakfast was late -not starting till 8:30am so we had to miss out even though it was included in the price. The staff made up a packed breakfast consisting of a breakfast roll, chocolate bar, crisps and a drink. Would have preferred a cheese/ham roll to a cold breakfast roll. Nice thought though.
The pub itself was lovely. Set in a lovely location. The food was great and the drinks were very reasonably priced. The staff were fantastic.

Good value for money! a pleasant double room ensuite and tasty cooked breakfast included. Surprisingly quiet at the back of the hotel looking onto the church. Convenient private parking in back yard of hotel and close proximity to the mere and canals.

United KingdomThe doors spring back making a load bang, so when other guests get up in the early hours to go to the toilet, the banging doors wake you. Some load Rd noise but that's to be expected by a busy Rd.
Basic but clean & comfortable. Great breakfast included with price. Had a meal in the evening & was excellent.

United KingdomWas told on Saturday evening there was not anywhere to sit for a drink, had to take it up to our room. Door wedges or slow closing systems may be an idea, as the doors slammed every time anyone went in or out of their room. Air freshener in shower rooms would be a good idea as well .
Good value for money, very good breakfast. Staff were very good and friendly, particularly on Friday evening, worked exceptionally well together as a team
