Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomPoor communication, little information in the room, just wi-fi code. It was unclear when and where breakfast was served and difficult to gain access as doors were locked and no signage. Breakfast was OK but we preferred to go to a local cafe after one breakfast. Main issue was the 'en-suite'; cracked sink, broken toilet lid and doors that didn't quite meet so little privacy. Access to room was tired.
Excellent location, we have a dog and there were plenty of walks from the door. Staff were friendly. Clean room and bedding and excellent wi-fi. Good hot shower, windows that opened onto lovely view of the common.

United KingdomThe room was a little outdated and could do with some tlc. Faded wood chip wallpaper, sticky stains in the carpet and bathroom light hanging off with exposed wires which we kept knocking with our heads because we are tall and the ceiling was low! I could feel the springs through the mattress. It was one of the hottest summer nights, however we couldn’t have the windows open because a neighbour had an outside DJ playing loud dance music past 11pm. There was a small fan but it was inefficient. I think there was only one staff member (manager?) because when we came down for breakfast, he was dealing with a couple’s query (about payment?) which took over 20 minutes and so we were sat waiting before being offered any drink or menu.
The staff member (manager?) was friendly and welcoming. It was a pretty little pub in a quaint village.

United KingdomThe rooms need a revamp - wardrobe was falling apart, a leg to replace the leg on the bed could help and fixing the loo seat. No-one turning up to cook breakfast was bad form when specifically asked for a time

United KingdomThe lock on the room was not very secure but they said they were going to sort it out. The restaurant and bar are excellent and the present owners only been there a month so i am sure that the positive look of downstairs will be repeated in the rooms.
Staff were lovely and friendly. Food was really tasty and staff knowledgeable about food and wine. The room was very nicely quirky.

United KingdomThe property is an old one difficult to streamline however our bedroom and bathroom doors didn’t shut with ease, the deep step drop into bathroom is awkward -needs a notice to warn. The carpeting in stairway and hallway is scruffy, needs updating, unfortunately shows muddy footprints and the hall mat a potential trip hazard. The sheet of board in alleyway was wet and slippery, alleyway was unkempt. The shower only adequate and plug didn’t drain.
Log fire burning in the bar on a very cold night. Good food. Dog friendly, easy access at night to take dog out if necessary. Extra blanket-much needed. Heater adjustable and effective in room. Christmas decorations were cheering and thoughtful. Staff were respectful responsive and friendly.

United KingdomIt was a shame about the rain! It is a lovely pub for eating outside in the summer!
The guys who worked there were friendly and helpful and very welcoming. The food was delicious and came really quickly which was great as we were eating before going out to meet friends. The pub had a friendly feel. The pub was well set out downstairs and upstairs our room was clean and well equipped with a nice bed, coffee/tea and ensuite shower. It was excellent value for money.
