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 KingdomThere was nothing to dislike. Our expectations were all met.
The Britannia is a small pub with rooms. It is clearly very popular with locals and tourists serving good food and local ales. They were extremely friendly and helpful. We felt welcome and comfortable.

United KingdomRoom was far too hot at night. Had to open the fire exit in March to keep cool. Even with all the radiators turned off. Sound of the boiler going all night was not conducive to sleep.
Very cheerful staff even when very busy. Beautiful room lovely furnishings. Good food.

United KingdomShhhh! Don’t tell anyone. This place is absolutely brilliant. It’s in a beautiful spot, very clean, great staff, lovely food and roaring fires. We could not fault it in any way. We have visited the Brit many times over the years and always been impressed. Just keep that between us though eh? Don’t want it to get too popular and then not be able the get a room😉

United Kingdom2 small suggestions: - a grab rail would help when getting in and out of the "over-bath" shower - given the emphasis on local produce, sadly this didn't seem to include the bread at breakfast, which tasted just like a mass-produced, spongy toaster loaf? Personal taste, we know!
Lovely, characterful pub, open fires, tasty and plentiful food. Comfortable bed, well equipped room, recently refurbished. Separate bathroom not ideal but ok, the owners obviously have to work with what they've got in this old building, plus slippers and dressing gowns were provided. Staff were very welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. We'd had food and drinks many times before, but this was our first stay - we'll be back.

United KingdomMy only comment was that we booked a table for dinner but we only had it for an hour and a half for the second evening, because it was booked for someone else from 8pm. This would not have been a problem if we’d been able to get somewhere else to sit with our drinks. It is a small place and fills up quickly. We ended up taking our drinks to our room far too early. We would have liked to have stayed at the table a little while longer. That’s our only negative comment.
Brilliant location, breakfast excellent. The staff were welcoming and made our stay completely enjoyable. The food was excellent. All in all a great short break away.
