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 KingdomAs a walker would prefer a bath but these are increasingly rare !!
Lovely staff - After a week of walking the ridgeway( with a backpack ) it was great to have sloe gin and bathrobes in the room. ( as well as high class tea/ coffee and full range of posh toiletries ) These treats make a difference . Also right on the Ridgeway path do no extra steps needed!

United KingdomStrangely, there appeared not to be any milk or equivalents in the room despite an impressive array of tea and coffee options. I am not especially convinced by the distressed floor boards that line the walls in the restaurant and bar areas. These jar with the oak panelling and appear faddish and a mistake! Otherwise, truly excellent!
I am so impressed that the Red Lion continues to fulfil its historic purpose after hundreds of years as an inn and does this so brilliantly in the 21st Century. The location and ambiance are massive strengths. The staff are immensely warm, courteous and efficient. The food, wines and ales are delicious and the sloe gin in the room was a very nice touch, as was the addition of bathrobes. The rooms are perfectly in proportion for a building of this age, and the facilities are good. I will most definitely return and recommend the Red Lion wholeheartedly.

United KingdomThis time there was a wedding taking place, I don’t know if this had a bearing but I ordered a sharing platter on arrival, we took a drink to the courtyard and waited over 45 minutes for the food to arrive, when it did we were very underwhelmed it really wasn’t worth the £29 cost for a large pile of salad, 3 strips of cured meat, a scotch egg and 4 very small ribs, the bread was piled high but the two tiny pieces of pate that were served would have been enough for a slice of bread, this was not substantial for 2 people. Breakfast was included, I asked 3 times for gluten free bread so that I could have a piece of toast it arrived with my actual breakfast, again this was under wheeling and was. Cold with hard poached eggs- such a shame as previously when we have eaten the food had been fabulous.
We have friends locally so have stayed here a couple of times, we like the location and the rooms, it’s also handy having food and drink on site for arrival.

United KingdomThe room was very warm and the landing outside was too. We had a fan in our room so that did help.
A great combination oven hold 16th century pub with lovely modern features and furniture. I would love to have this as my local pub. It had everything lovely outside dining area very modern inside area you could have a shot of whiskey as a nightcap for free you could have a shot of sloe gin in your room for free. The bed was comfortable. The bathrooms were big and modern And it was in an idle location for where we need to be. The breakfast was also great. it is hard to afford this hotel and pub.

This place is a gem! The building is full of well maintained character and charm. The staff were helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic. Free parking! The rooms are beautifully decorated and come with all kinds of extras; pillow spray, shortbread biscuits, a liqueur for a nightcap, lovely bathroom products, chilled water and milk for tea, high end selection of teas, Dyson cool air fans, etc. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms spacious. Great value for price and wish we could have stayed longer!

United KingdomNothing.
A lovely boutique hotel in Wendover with stylish decor. Sockets were well positioned in relation to the mirrors, for getting ready. A lovely touch to have the Sloe Gin for a nightcap and proper milk in tiny milk bottles for making tea and coffee. The bathroom was rather snug, but just big enough. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. We had breakfast, which was great, with locally sourced produce. Although we didn't go downstairs to the pub, as we were out all day, it looked lovely and was obviously very popular and busy. It was a nice surprise, therefore, that we couldn't hear any noise when we went up to our room.
