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 KingdomNothing to mention,
We had stayed before and enjoyed the standard of the accommodation and the welcome of the staff. Being the only guests on Easter Sunday night we enjoyed the friendly reception from Felix at the bar. We'll come again.

United KingdomHaving to go get a take away. Probably my fault for not checking what was included.
I couldn't fault the room at all. It was spacious, clean & warm. Had the usual things you'd expect to have in a room, like tv, kettle. The bed was a king sized with a comfy mattress and crisp clean linen. As for the bathroom, it was a large shower which I love. Towels were clean & crisp. I had been allocated room 1, which is in a block separate from the Inn itself. The room is in the loft area of the block, so stone steps were used to gain entry. A spot light is activated at night with movement. I'd arrived too late for food on the evening I arrived, so had to go back to Leominster for a takeaway. And there was no breakfast. Fortunately I had "full English" at the local airfield. Apart from getting my room key, I didn't step foot in the Inn. Staff were friendly. There is a large car park & the wi-fi worked.

United KingdomUnfortunately the pub closed at 6pm, and there was no food available - it being Sunday. As we only arrived at 5.40, this was a bit of a disaster! This situation was not highlighted in the original marketing for the place.
Nice part of the world - and we loved the cafe at the aerodrome nearby as recommended by the pub employee. Good firm mattress too.

United KingdomRoom was cold and couldn't get heating working. Breakfast not served here (this is not made clear on Booking.com site) but we were given a recommendation to go to the local airfield cafe which serves super meals, including breakfast.
An old inn situated in a very pretty village. Clean room , comfy beds, good quality furniture, lots of storage. Rooms in a separate barn type building with beams- lots of character yet modern. Easy parking and dog friendly. Very friendly staff in pub which serves lovely meals. Seems to be a well supported village pub with welcoming and friendly customers.
