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 KingdomThe beds were comfy but a bit short for my husband
What a lovely little find in a quaint village. Gorgeous setting, the sun was out and the outside area was full with people enjoying the lovely river view. We had a twin & a single room both were clean with a lovely welcome pack. We ate in the bar area, the food was delicious. I would love to return.

United KingdomIt was very hot but that was just the surprise heatwave. Fans were provided though. The only downsides were the motorbike group who insisted on revving their engines at 7am just outside the window (would have preferred to have been told about this at booking or offered rooms away from the road given we were not with the motorbike rally) and service at breakfast was a bit, er, vague/slow! Breakfast food was utterly delicious though to match the lunch we had the day before!
Wonderful well-equipped rooms, fantastic food (we had a delicious lunch and amazing breakfast), great staff. Amazing and beautiful location.

Myself and my son stayed at The Lion on 26/06/2025 ahead of our day at Phil Price Rally School, we arrived around 19,30pm and was instantly greeted by a lovely lady who checked us in and sat us down to get us drinks and take food orders etc, we were extremely well looked after and the food was out of this world, the lady in question and the rest of the staff were extremely accommodating and pleasant. We had a great nights sleep in a lovely clean room and the next morning just when we thought it couldn't get any better we were served possibly the best breakfast I have ever received in a hotel. This place is truly a hidden gem and we will return without a doubt.

United KingdomVery good breakfast but slow service (took well over half an hour). Limited diner menu and our fish pie was very dry and not worth £19
Lovely location next to an old bridge with nicely kept lawn along the river . Plenty of outdoor seating (and they have an outdoor pizza oven which I believe operates at weekends) Nice bedroom with lovely touches (coffee/tea/water/biscuits/juice) Comfortable beds Well appointed generous bathroom Friendly staff

Set in a stunning rural location next to a river with a spacious garden the Lion really is worth travelling to away from motorways and main roads. A small menu of well presented food - legendary triple cooked chips! - is a bonus. The comfortable room with a welcome fan had a stunning view across the rooftop and a spacious bathroom. Delightful.
