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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomModern facilities but retained an old world charm. Very comfortable beds and excellent food in the restaurant for our evening meal and breakfast. Staff were lovely especially the team that were there for the morning shift, cheery and attentive to all our needs. Ruby was also lovely (resident pup) and our best friend first thing in the morning, until we ran out of bacon.

United KingdomFelt a little on the pricy side for just one night when comparing to other Inn’s we stayed at the same weekend. Unfortunately the Wifi didn’t work very well. Quite frustrating when there is also no phone service in the area.
Bedroom was a nice size and bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was a great size and also contained a nice size bath tub. Food and breakfast in the pub was amazing, I would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere to have dinner in the area.

United KingdomWe could have booked another night and had walking gear with us to explore outside before coming back to another great meal.
Don't think this is an international hotel and judge it accordingly. It's a rural inn in a beautiful but remote location surrounded by hills and fields. You will walk into a warm welcome, physical and emotional. The room we had was old-fashioned, rather rustic, characterful, definitely not marble and stainless steel but perfectly comfortable, rather like stepping back in time. the staff were great and the meals were wonderful.

United KingdomNothing. All good.
From the minute we walked in the bar door the welcome was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds clean and comfortable. The building has an amazing history and the rooms were respectful of the building's age. The evening meal was very tasty. Breakfast is also excellent. The house dog Ruby was also a wonderful friendly host. Good free parking to the rear.

United KingdomNothings it's a lovely character traditional Inn with friendly staff and amazing food.
Very friendly helpful staff, beautiful character building and the food was amazing. Sits right on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park with so much to do and see in easy reach. Would definitely stay again. The Family room was perfect for 2 adults and 1 teenager. We all slept in proper comfortable beds, no sofa bed or zbed. We didn't take our dog but they are very welcomed with lots of extras available if you bring your hairy companion with you.

United KingdomNothing, it was great
The Inn is very welcoming, with different lounges and bars. Our room was very comfortable with a good size bathroom. The evening meal was exceptional, with a few fab vegan options. My husband had the Welsh Lamb, which he raved about. The Inn is quite isolated from town but that was fine for us stopping overnight, with beautiful mountain scenery around us. There is a lovely little village across the roundabout with about a 15 min walk, where you can see a historic hidden bridge. Worth a visit while you are there. The hosts were very friendly and did all they could to provide my husband with some breakfast in bed the next day, as he had fallen ill with a flu type illness the night before, which consequently cut short our trip. 😢 Even if you don’t stay here, this is definitely the place to go for an evening meal.
