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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Visiting Aylesham/Barham so was ideally situated for us. Two of us had to be up very early and they kindly organised a hamper for us, consisting of cereal, pastries, apples and a couple of bottles of juice. The other two members of our party missed breakfast but were kindly provided with sausage/bacon rolls and tea. We didn't eat or drink at the pub as was attending a family gathering but on check-in it seemed welcoming and friendly.

Last stay we had a room in the back of the upstairs, this time we were above the bar which was a bit noisy. But I understand they are going to add extra sound proofing.
Wonderful food, very friendly staff. And very welcoming decor.

Unfortunately there was no milk for the muesli. There was also no milk in the room for the tea and coffee.
We couldn't stay for breakfast as we had an early start. I was gutted that we were going to miss out on an amazing breakfast. The staff left a hamper outside the room of 3 fruit pastries, 2 bottles of Kent fruit juice and muesli. The staff were amazing and so helpful. The evening meal we had was truly spectacular. I felt like I was in a Masterchef kitchen!

The garden view from our room unfortunately was not visible due to the large marquee covering the seating area. Although the room was good some storage would be a helpful addition and the bathroom could do with a refresh.
Pretty village location. Cosy welcoming pub with great food, beer and friendly staff. Comfy bed.

Nothing major though there was abit of a challenge with parking as its a village location but Adam was very helpful.
Lovely and freshly cooked breakfast with an amazing selection of items. Well appointed rooms and great location. Adam was incredibly helpful providing good advice about reputable taxi firms in the location. The team were all very helpful and the pub had a lovely warm and welcoming feel. Lots of lovely local people to chat with too.

Inside the property is beautiful. Open fireplace in the bar, original features and a popular place to go so the atmosphere was good. The rooms are spacious and there is a pantry in the hallway to top up anything you may need. Will certainly stay again. The food is outstanding too.

Car parking close by and convenient. Cheerful, courteous and helpful staff; excellent food - good choice for a small menu but very well prepared. Room - though not large - was well equipped, very clean and very comfortable - particularly the en suite facilities. Excellent value for money all round. Look forward to being able to return some time in the future if at all possible!
