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 KingdomMattress springs have seen better days on the bed I had. No bottled water in room. Only one personal hand towel in bathroom between 2. Bathroom soap left something to be desired but ok if you forgot your own. Shampoo was good. But who doesn't bring their own toiletries these days, so no biggy.
Location really good for Cadwell park circuit. The food is superb, Adam is a fine chef and his menu is extensive, as it is, I'd stay here for the food alone. A full English breakfast was available at 7am, which is great if you're doing a track day at Cadwell, most establishments won't do this now. Victoria is very friendly and accommodating and cheerful, which starts the day off well. Loads of free parking. Location is also nice and quiet. Tea and coffee in room. Excellent wardrobe space.

United KingdomThe room was comfortable with a good shower and the pub is great, a "proper" pub. I was much later arriving than I had communicated due to traffic problems but they kept the kitchen open to make sure I was able to get a (great) meal. Thanks!

United KingdomIt's a really long way...
Friendly considerate people, enormous and spotlessly clean room, great bathroom with lots of hot water and a nice shower. Really really good breakfast, and excellent dinner the night before too. They held the restaurant open for me as I was arriving a little after it normally closed and honestly made me feel like family. But in a good way... I'll certainly be back.

United KingdomBedroom wasn't the largest we've had but wouldn't call it cramped either.
Dinner was the best we've had in a year - since the last time we dined at the Black Horse! Nice ales, well kept, and a good gin selection. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was spacious, remarkably little traffic noise. Friendly staff, customers and dogs!

United KingdomHaving been used to a memory foam mattress it was a bit odd going back to a sprung mattress. As a group we needed multiple rooms and had to settle for some with twin single beds, doubles would have been nicer That said both the above were certainly not deal breakers as everything else made up for it
Lovely traditional village pub, serving fantastic fresh food with friendly staff. Rooms where very clean too

The Black Horse was located perfectly for us, being right in the middle of the Wolds, on the valley of the River Bain. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful, the rooms were a good size, clean and very comfortable. For our meals we had cooked breakfasts, and fabulous evening meals including lightly spiced salmon, Lamb shank and Spiced soup. The ale was excellent too, and well kept, and we played pool after dinner.
