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 KingdomNothing in particular. Off street parking would be handy but its an original building in main street so not something that can be changed

United KingdomNot too sure about the bath in the bedroom and not in the bathroom. (Sparrow). No screen if you had a shower . Cute, quaint but a tad inconvenient unless you love a bath. I do. Sloped ceilings in the room. Rooms are in 2 story cottages -- ask for the ground floor if you have mobility issues. Hotels in this area don't really have the space for a car park but there are a few spaces available at the G. Pheasant . Just there for a night. We would stay again for a short stay.
Location was great on Burford High St. Food was nice in the bar at night time.

United KingdomWhen people were outside in the courtyard it was a little noisy in the room. As it’s grade 2 listed the windows are old so it is expected that they won’t keep out the noise. It was quiet over night
Was a lovely hotel, the staff are friendly and helpful. Although they don’t yet do breakfast, the evening meals we had were amazing. Well presented and so tasty, although initially felt they were in the pricy side, the quality could not be faulted and we realised that it was very good value for Burford (everywhere is pricy!) The best were also super comfortable & the shower was amazing!

United KingdomThe room was a little warm at night, even with the window open. The room had a little clean on the 1st morning, but they didn't top up the milk for tea. All little things and we still had a really good break away and will return.
Lovely location in the heart of Burford, The Room was to a good standard and the Staff were very Welcoming and Polite. The food was great!!

United KingdomThe room was at the front of the hotel, so with the with the windows open, it was very noisy. The crossing outside bleeped all night. The mattresses were the cheap, spring type, and my husband had a dreadful nights sleep due to the springs digging in. The shelf was coming off the wall, and there were paint splatters in the bathroom. The shower had limescale over the head. The snagging list in the bedroom and bathroom was a long one. There was no plug socket nearby for the kettle, so we had to put it on the floor as the cable wasn't long enough. We expected more from this hotel. It lacked attention to detail.
On arrival, we were upgraded to a superking room ( normally 2 singles), which was nice. We were taken to our room personally, which was a lovely touch. The hotel had only been open for 2 weeks after a refurbishment.

United KingdomOnly criticism of the place. We were there at a time where the weather was really warm and there is nothing in the room to cool down such as air con or a fan. So the rooms did get really warm. The rooms could do with air con or a fan of some sorts.
Really nice pub/hotel in a really good location. Rooms were comfortable and staff were very friendly and helpful. Food in the pub was very nice.
