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.).

A Gem of Comfort and Elegance. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in tranquility. The suite was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated with modern touches, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in the heart of the town. We all had the perfect night’s sleep, and the square facing suite offered a gorgeous view over the cloisters. Breakfast was a delight—with generous servings and options for every dietary need, served with care and a smile. The staff truly elevated the experience: warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay special. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, this boutique hotel is a sanctuary of style and comfort.

IrelandNo parking on site but we knew that when we booked. Car parks nearby and good value. Nothing to dislike about the Crosskeys
Very good location, around the corner from the beautiful Abbey. Clean, comfortable, with very nice decor and character throughout. Very friendly and helpful staff. Special mention for Megan, Tabby & the young man who was there when we arrived. Visits to The Abbey, Sherborne castle and Sherborne house are a must.

United KingdomWe only stayed for one night but we did not find anything we did not like.
Such a surprise when you walk through the main entrance. From the outside it looks like a very quaint old pub, but once inside it is fresh and modern. Our room was at the front of the Hotel, which overlooked the old Market Square. The Bedroom was extremely nice, with a lovely dressing area, which was separate to the main bedroom. There was a good selection of teas, coffee, and there was also a mini fridge which had fresh milk and a large jug of water, two cans of coke. Also there was some fruit and crisps to enjoy. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very very clean. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom too. The tv had the normal channels but also Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney...my husband and I may have watched a whole series after dinner!!!! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A good selection at Breakfast, I had the Vegetarian English Breakfast but Vegan was also an option along with Eggs anyway and a good selection of pastries. Overall very lovely stay at The Cross Keys.

SpainOne out two of the staff were not great. The breakfast was poor. I hadn’t been forewarned that the restaurant would be closed for the evening due to a function.
Convenient location in the heart of town. Had previously had good food there.

United KingdomIt was difficult to tell from the pictures. However as advertised as a family suite it looked as though there was a separate living room area. Whereas in fact the sofa and chairs were in each room. This did not really affect us but I think it should be clearer. Also as an old building it has not been fitted with air conditioning as you would find in an hotel. So given some of the recent heatwaves perhaps installing some fans to help make the rooms more comfortable.
Nicely updated rooms, modern decor. Right in the heart of the town centre.
