Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomThere was a loud fan noise just outside the room, and other guests where quite loud in the evening. Within the room, only main things would be a pole to help pull down the blinds (I'm not very tall) and a light on the dressing table.
The team were very helpful, welcoming us and allowing slightly early access to accommodation which was most welcome after several hours in the car with kids! They also organised a simple early breakfast as we had to leave too early for proper breakfast. Their helpfulness was very much appreciated. The room itself was great. The twin beds for the kids where separated from the adult room by a curtain, this was excellent to get the kids settled.

United KingdomThe room was very good and big, clean new carpet, air freshener in the room, I liked the fact that the girls bedroom had a curtain so it gave us more privacy. Windows have a blind. The bathroom is a good size, mostly clean but there were hair in the corner, behind the rubbish bin and the bottom of the sink taps had a black stain which was easy to remove.
The fact that the room was next to a pub where we could have freshly made tasty food, Station inn is near the train station, breakfast included was a good idea, friendly and helpful staff. And the very friendly dog

United KingdomNo issues with the property but a few other guests were very noisy, into the early hours of the morning and there’s no staff on site overnight to ask for help with that.
So much character and it felt very homely. The food and drink did not disappoint and the staff were friendly and a good laugh to keep this solo traveller company!

United KingdomThis is an old staging Inn, the rooms being in a converted barn space. As such, noise travels but it didn’t disturb our sleep. The decor and furnishings in our room were tired and the converted space has a ventilation problem, causing quite a bit of black mold around the window and curtains. The owners are making changes so no doubt this will be addressed in due course.
The staff are super friendly and accommodating. The food was very good but of particularly note was the choice of gluten-free/dairy-free options my daughter had! They were all prepared for her intolerances but the menu had super diet-friendly options as a matter of course which was impressive! The only suggestion in this regard would be to have a gluten-free breakfast cereal but, otherwise, she was most impressed with the breakfast. It’s also very pet friendly and accommodated my two yappy Miniature Dachshunds with great magnanimity! Although next to a road, the extensive parking and play areas provided ample room for the dogs to sniff around!

United KingdomNothing at all.
The accommodation was great; large, clean room with tea and coffee, plenty of space and a comfy bed. The bathroom was well appointed and provisioned; shower worked perfectly - and so did the soap dispensers (a pet hate of mine, cos usually they don't). Out of town and right next to some lovely walking. The pub was excellent: staff really friendly but not trying too hard, locals were great - a real old-fashioned pub feel about it. Food was good, decent pub fare (we had hanging kebabs which were actually hung; who knew?) and the beer was real and well conditioned. Very reasonable price, too.

Perfect location for us as we were travelling north. Rooms are old, which we don't mind. We had the best sleep, as quiet & comfortable. We had dinner & breakfast at the pub & extremely happy with the food & service. We have stayed at this hotel previously in 2019.
