How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEverything about the place from the minute we pulled up,very dated,smelt like old stale beer from when we walked in,vshould have stayed 1 night after a great day at Alton towers but it was honestly not good and had to leave.No lock on the door going from the pub to the rooms which made us feel unsafe dirty carpets,plasters boards attached to walls but not finished,rubbish lying at the bottom of the stairs,needs a good paint throughout,then the room was grim,not clean,dirty carpets,big stains on the side of the beds,ripped pillow cases,dirty bathroom,bits of ply wood attached to walls as shelving and wardrobe!! If you dont care where you sleep then its fine but i would definately not recommend staying here,in need of major refurbishment!! We left after seeing it,just not happy we payed so much money upfront for nothing.

Verified reviewStaff were friendly and welcoming from the get go. The size of the room for our family of 5 was perfect, and it was clean throughout. Quiet and the location was only 15 minutes from out destination of Alton towers.
Just maybe need to change the mattreses, although we slept well one of them was very springy and you could feel it. We layered a few blankets on top and it was fine.

Accommodation ok but noisy, its on a crossroads . Don't worry about needing ID for drinking as a toddler was sat on the bar, so doubt they would be bothered about serving minors! A couple of staff were polite and friendly, the rest barely polite. Breakfast was ok . Car park was full and one lovely customer, staff member or delivery van drove into my car and left it damaged and even though the cctv was pointed in that direction the footage apparently wasn't clear and the owners couldn't see if a vehicle hit mine, it took over a week and several phone calls to look and get back to me. Although they offered to send footage have not bothered to. My advice is to go elsewhere .

Verified reviewThe beds were comfortable, the staff really helpful and the location to Alton towers is ideal.
The room we had did have a separate bathroom down the corridor. The fire alarm went off after 1am and no one was available and no contact details to call anyone. Everyone had to wait outside until a member of staff came to turn off the alarms and after that it was very difficult to get back to sleep. The staff offered us a longer check out time so we could get our heads down but we had to leave early as had a planned day out.

Verified reviewThe room was basic but very clean and the staff were friendly.
We were disappointed as there was a wedding at the venue and we were not informed at booking, this means it was extremely loud. The building is very old and noise travels, this means we hardly slept. As the noise travels so badly in this building people booking a room should be informed as we paid for a room to get some sleep and got very little, which is not what you expect when booking to stay overnight. I honestly believe it would have been fine if it weren’t for the wedding. Also, the bathrooms are not joined to rooms, which would be fine, but the locking system was silly as you had to use the same keys for room and bathroom and it would only lock form the inside with the key.
Hi Lucy sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay with us, but I am surprised the wedding inconvenienced you so much as it had finished before midnight. We are a public house so when booking a weekend night you should take that into consideration. Also the room you booked is described as not on suit but with a private external bathroom.
