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 KingdomNo air con, 2 fans & 1 didn’t do anything, no telephone or way of contacting staff if there was an issue other than going down to the main pub area, windows didn’t stay open, blinds broken. Staircase area was dirty and in need of a bit of paint. Shower not great, small head sprayed everywhere and leaked from the handle.
Location was excellent. Parking nearby. Room decor was nice. Breakfast was lovely and good value as it’s less than menu price if you’re a paying guest. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Bed was comfy.

United KingdomCheck-in in the bar area is not ideal. Quite smelly - bad food odour at all times and you have to walk through a lot of smokers standing outside to get in. Rooms were stiflingly hot even though the weather wasn't particularly hot outside.
Room was a pleasant surprise after arriving in the bar area. Nice decor and clean. Bed comfortable. Great location in the centre of Marlow. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomUnfortunately, we stayed on two of the hottest nights with temperatures over 30degrees. Our room was unbearably hot, even though a fan was provided, it was of no use. The windows had safety locks and couldn’t be opened very wide and there was no breeze leaving the room feeling stuffy. Obviously, we appreciate they are not responsible for the weather, but maybe invest in some small air con units, to help make the room more comfortable in such situations. Our room also overlooked the area where the bar staff emptied rubbish and glasses etc, this meant it was very noisy after the pub had shut with staff talking and cleaning. On our last night, we could hear the staff talking and tidying until around 2:30am, you could hear clearly their conversations so maybe a reminder to those staff working late to be mindful of the rooms near them, not great when you can’t even shut the windows due to the heat! We personally felt that the room was very expensive and not good value for money, we were celebrating a special occasion and felt a little disappointed.
Situated in a good location, excellent breakfast and left us a lovely note to accompany the wine we’d requested to celebrate our anniversary. Nice touch of homemade biscuits and bottled water left in the room. We didn’t eat an evening meal during our stay, we have however eaten here on a previous visit to Marlow and the food was excellent.

United KingdomThe day we stayed was the hottest day of the year and although the hotel provided a big fan the heat in the room was very uncomfortable. Would be nice to have a small fridge.
Staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Room was nice and very quiet considering it was above a pub and on high street. The Chequers is in the centre of Marlow which is a lovely town and makes the location perfect for access to the excellent shopping and riverside for walking.

United KingdomNoise could be an issue if staying in front rooms but all quiet after midnight.
The superb hospitality and professionalism of staff made up for the tired rooms. Clean and comfortable bedrooms but well overdue an upgrade considering the cost of the room. Good position on the Marlow high street and good vibe in the bar with excellent live band on Friday nights.
