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 KingdomNothing to dislike really. A lighter option for breakfast such as fruit and yogurt would have been welcome for our 3 night stay. Loved the full English though, so I'm nit -picking.
Plenty of parking, free WiFi, beds comfortable, nice view from the bedroom.

We had a very pleasant room overlooking the garden and the fields beyond, with breakfast served just at the bottom of our stairs in a nice dining room. Breakfast was cooked to order and was excellent. We also paid for dinner on the first night to celebrate a birthday which was exceptionally good, chosen from various Cordon Bleu dishes that Claire suggested and cooked for us, an all round memorable stay, even the weather was adequate !

United KingdomSignage was too small to see from the busy road, had to turn round and go back. Wouldn’t be a problem on further visits as you know where it is. Difficult to spot when driving on your own.
Breakfast choice was varied , presented well and cooked well. Had our own key to get in late at night after a dinner dance. Couple were friendly but professional. Home from home. Would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomThe cooked breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented but on a four night stay I would have liked other options such as fresh fruit and yoghurt
The location was beautiful but a little difficult to find on a road without numbers. I found it in the fourth pass as the traffic would not let me drive slowly and the black sign did not stand out against the hedge.

United KingdomMaybe it was a hangover from Covid or her three tennis matches in four days but Claire seemed not to have the time to chat that many of our previous hosts have. Not sure if that should actually count as a criticism.
The meals were excellent. We had an additional evening meal. Claire's Cordon Bleu cooking was fully evidenced. Alpheton itself is very small and we travelled a few miles one evening to eat at The Manger in Bradfield Combust and thought it probably the best pub restaurant we have ever visited. Stay enlivened by Claire's dogs and chickens which meant a range of fresh egg dishes.
