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 KingdomThere is nothing we wer'nt happy with.
Been before so knew what to expect, room clean and well equipped, nice little touches in kitchenette area, own little fenced garden area with patio doors leading out to it, couple minutes and straight out onto new forest, perfect for walking our dog, pub is welcoming, nice garden with undercover areas to eat if pub is full, lovely cooked breakfast and added cereals, fruit and yogurt, perfect quiet location with good chance of seeing the ponies and foals right outside in the carpark , which did this morning, can't wait to visit again.

United KingdomNot having another nights stay
The Turfcutters Arms was a real surprise, not so much a room over a pub but one of 3 self-contained units, including kitchen/self-catering facilities in a ground floor barn conversion with a thatched roof. Simon the landlord and all the staff very more than helpful. Excellent breakfasts using locally sourced food as too with evening meals. Well away from the busy towns it proved to be an excellent location to tour around the New Forest, including Beaulieu on the doorstep. In the Bar there is an accumulated display of vintage Hornby O Gauge Toy Trains.

United KingdomIt didn't really bother us but there was a party / disco in the garden with loud music until about 1045. Others would have found it intrusive so maybe a warning could be sent to people staying but not attending the party. This comment does not affect our rating.
The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a good selection of real ale and a good pub menu with a specials board. Friends joined us for a meal and we all thought it excellent. Breakfast was also excellent with the nice additional touch of a punnet of local fresh strawberries. The room was clean and spacious with a fridge, microwave, and an outside terrace with a table to sit at. Good beer garden as well. Overall it was excellent value and what you would expect if staying in a country pub.
