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.).

The property was on the busy A303 so could be a little tricky to to get in and out .
Our hosts were very friendly and accomadating. The breakfast was well worth the money cereals toast and full English with plenty of choice. The property was close to everything we needed. There is a lovely garden and drawing room which is available for guests.

The only negative was the road noise from passing traffic but it didn’t detract from our stay. Nothing anyone could do about it either as it’s due to the location, being just off a main road. However, the location was very convenient for us.
Lovely place and our hosts couldn’t have done more for us. The breakfast was delicious with generous portions, homemade marmalade and jam and excellent coffee. The room was wonderful, clean and had all we needed. The bed was so comfortable too. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

There was nothing that we didn’t like butJust be wary about opening the bedroom window as the traffic on the nearby A303 and the associated noise is noticeable..Keep it closed and you’ll have a lovely nights sleep
The hosts were very welcoming and helpful . We had a comfortable room which was nicely sized but the crowning glory were the breakfasts tailored to suit our preferences

There was nothing negative to comment on.
Tim and Helen were the perfect hosts. The property was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The room was well thought out and very comfortable. My only negative about the room was the TV could have been a bit bigger. The breakfast was really good - one of the best we've had. Homemade marmalade and well cooked full english.

No improvement is necessary as it was perfect the way it was.
The breakfast was excellent, well cooked by Tim and beautifully presented. The dining room and rest of the house was spotlessly clean and we were made very welcome by both Tim & Helen, who were on hand to give us the benefit of their local knowledge. Our room at the front of the house was beautifully presented, with a comfortable bed and tea & coffee making facilities. The en-suite was spacious and immaculate with everything we could possibly need. All in all a great place to stay.

The owners of the B&B were superb. Friendly, communincative, did everything to let us feel welcomed. The breakfast each morning was extraordinary and the house itself was as charming as Helen & Tim. Our room was comfortable and very quiet. Cannot think of a single complaint.

Nothing! It is quite close to a busy road but once the window was closed you couldn’t hear the traffic.
Beautiful kept grounds, tastefully decorated rooms and extremely helpful hosts. Breakfast was perfect. Great choice and meticulous attention to detail ensured we had exactly what we wanted.

Unfortunately, the property is very close to the main road and the noise from traffic was pretty difficult. I realise there is not much they can do about it. The property itself is beautiful but the busy road outside does detract from an otherwise relaxing atmosphere.
A comfortable room and a nice breakfast with friendly hosts.

Would’ve loved a bath. A bit of information about how to enter the property before arrival as it’s quite busy road and odd junction.
