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 KingdomBreakfast was ample & varied. The location was central & good, secure car park up a rather potholed lane. Staff were polite & friendly.

United KingdomNothing (apart from the weather!!)
Booked last minute. Great room, very comfortable bed. The shower was one of the best I’ve used in a hotel. Fresh milk for tea in the room in the morning, sooo much better than UHT milk…small thing but for a morning tea lover it was a great touch. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was fab. Ham, egg and chips, easy I guess but eggs were runny, ham thick and tasty and the chips amazing 🤩

United KingdomThe £15 per dog per night surcharge was not advertised and is very steep. We have never been charged such a high amount for staying with our 2 dogs and this would put us off booking again. Happy to pay a surcharge for them but not £60 for 2 nights.

United KingdomEvening meal wasn't the best and very pricey. One of our meals had an almost deisal taste suggesting they don't use fresh oil when cooking their fish and then using same oil to drizzle over accompanying veg. We did point this out to them but this was after we had paid. I didn't realise until later on after paying the bill they added on a service charge. This should have been optional. Parking was difficult and the road has very large pot holes, which needs to be attended to.
Very quirky. Lovely place to stay. Central in the market square and an ideal base if you are visiting the area.

United Kingdom- Cleanliness was not the best as we found the cups to be dirty and you had to wonder if they were fresh or simply rinsed and put back on the tea shelf. We had to ask for new glasses and cups the next morning. - There is no mini fridge in the room which we would have preferred over the communal fridge which offers free tap water but in open glass bottles (hygienic?) - The two car parks are very small, fitting about 4-5 cars each and are very difficult to reverse out of. Car Park 2 is the better one. - The hot tap on the sink turns the wrong way which was irritating.
Very central location in the heart of Stow. The B&B offers dog friendly rooms, with ours located at the end of the corridor on the top floor being a blessing as that meant less people were walking past it. The interior was modern, with the Deluxe Room offering a bathtub, and all appliances were fully functional. A fan was provided during the hot weather (a duvet with a lower tog would have been good). The continental breakfast buffet which is included in the price provided a good choice of food (cooked breakfast costs extra). The location is very central, and close to all amenities.

United KingdomMy wife has had new knees and has difficulty with stairs. All rooms are reached by stairs which was a challenge. The bathroom is a shower over the bath - beautiful but a little challenging if you have limited movement.
Extremely comfortable bed and room with a fan and an iron. All excellent. Superb breakfast in a comfortable dining room. Fresh milk in a fridge on the landing for tea/coffee whenever you want - much better than UHT cartons Staff were superb - from front of house to cleaning etc - really professional

United KingdomStaff were mixed for friendliness. The breakfast staff were great, but there was one girl in the bar who was not particularly welcoming, which meant we often ate out in the evening. Evening menu also a little limited.
Great location and comfortable clean rooms. Rooms were well styled and great idea to have a communal fridge.
