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 KingdomA big problem for me was the lighting in the room. There was no central light but only small wall lamps. The worst disappointment for me was that I was unable to read in bed as the wall lamps were to each side of the bed and did not give enough light over the bed.
The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The staff were very helpful .When I requested a second chair for the bedroom, it was quickly provided. The shower was very good but the blind at the window didn’t work.

United KingdomCommunication around food. We arrived late after a very long journey only to discover the kitchen was closed and we had to go out again exhausted to find something. Allegedly someone was supposed to call us, but they hadn’t. Next morning we went down at 10.05 to be told breakfast was 8-10 and closed - even though the email we had received told us 11am. Guests can only work with what they are told and Booking.com information seems to be out of date, so would recommend calling ahead to check policies.
Lovely room, comfortable and spacious, big fluffy towels, spotless bathroom and attractive decor

United KingdomWe just couldn't sleep a bit due to constant noise (squeaky, brawl) throughout the night. Though we were later told that it was due to unruly guest(s) but There seems to be no caretaker/supervisor in the night to handle such issue(s). Guest(s) are completely left on their own to deal with it. When we later reported the incident to the Front desk in the morning, didn't felt they have any sense of accountability. Poorly managed. Hot breakfast food (which is chargeable) quality isn't great at all. Better to just use free continental breakfast instead.
Bar and bartender service was amazing. Room size is appropriate and was kept very clean along with bathroom. Plenty of parking spaces around the property.

United KingdomNo drinking water provided in the room. Dirty blind in the bathroom. Continental breakfast included but a bit poor, just an instant coffee sachet and couldn't work out how to get the hot water out of the machine so gave up.
Lovely country pub and conveniently located. Spacious room and bed. Friendly staff. Overall, a pleasant stay and value for money.

United KingdomWe had room 7 which was lovely but the shower cubicle was in the bedroom not the bathroom which I wasn’t keen on.
Excellent value. Staff were really friendly and very hard working in what are difficult times. We both had the fillet steak which was very good. I had the continental breakfast which was plentiful, my husband had the full English and again it was very good. We have a dog and it’s very dog friendly.

United KingdomWe stay here year after year (but unable to during 2020 due to COVID). On our recent visit we were told the hotel is under new ownership and management and there was a lot of work being done to upgrade the bar area. We were also informed that as some rooms require slight attention, they would be moving onto the accommodation too. Good to know that the new owners are giving the place the love and attention it requires. The staff were excellent too. The new Manager Brian, was attentive and accommodating to any requests.

United KingdomMy only issues was that my room seems like it hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in a long time. Like it has had tidies but it hasn’t been cleaned properly to the edges for a while. The bed seemed nice and clean which was a plus however it was dusty around the room especially in the bathroom where I could see the gathered dust/fluff on the floor and the shower really needed a thorough cleaning.
It was a really lovely place. My room was a very good size, had all of the normal amenities you would expect from a good hotel and the bed was spacious and very comfortable. I went down for dinner in the newly renovated restaurant that evening and had their haddock and chips. It was fantastic! Also the staff were so friendly and helpful too. This really helped me feel more comfortable and welcome which was so important for me as I was there alone and a little nervous. So thank you.

United KingdomWe arrived as they undertook decorating the bar area so when we came down for breakfast the place was full of painters and dust sheets. We were only there for one night for a family funeral the next day. We weren't warned about the disruption. If we had of been we probably would have chosen another place.
Rooms were lovely and spacious, bed very comfy. Evening meal was lovely.
