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...).

The Railway Inn was perfect for our needs. It is very comfortable, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the room is over a very good pub. There were generous portions of fruit, cereal, milk (including oat and soya), yoghurt, juice, tea and coffee free to use. The price was excellent for the quality.

Proximity of freight railway traffic at night but other guests at back of pub didn't notice it. Good double glazing at front of pub was effective.
Great staff and food and clean room. Good parking.

We had such a lovely stay at the Railway Inn. The room was large, modern, clean, comfortable and had a modern, clean ensuite. The staff were so friendly and although above the pub, we were not disturbed by any noise. The Inn is next to the railway line and although we had the windows open, the train noise wasn't a problem at all. With the windows shut, the trains weren't heard. There was a great range of breakfast items that were free, on the landing outside our room, including fresh fruit, various cereals, fresh milk and alternative milks, gluten free cereals and yoghurts, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. The location was brilliant, on the outskirts of Ipswich, but it felt like we were in the countryside; it was so lovely.

Continental breakfast was fine sweet cereals in individual boxes, communal muesli, fruits & yogurts, in fridge. One large communal bottle of milk, which was, sometimes hard to track down.. Would've loved some bread & cheese, as we never eat sweet cereals. Room was lovely, apart from rock-hard giant pillows, v hard to squash into a comfy shape
This is, a beautiful pub in a scenic location. Adjacent to the railway line, you'll hear the trains, till 10pm ish, but who minds that!? Beautifully decorated, and furnished, gorgeous terrace and decked outside areas, in beautiful countryside, yet just a few mins out of Ipswich. Cosy & inviting downstairs, with delicious - sounding menus. Continental breakfast was available, in a communal area outside the rooms, with a microwave & fridge etc. Kettles & tea/coffee etc, in rooms. Fab staff, all helpful & friendly..
