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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing. We had a wonderful time over the last 2 days.
A huge thank you to The Royal Oak team, Jane, George, Oliver and Steve (plus all those behind the scenes). From the moment we entered the Royal Oak for our 2 night stay, we were treated exceptionally well. The location and character of the property, with the added bonus of the amazing staff, make it an excellent choice to stay. You feel valued and welcome. Despite being above the bar, it was very quiet large and it was well stocked with everything we needed. The food was extremely tasty, well prepared, varied and reasonably priced. Jane, the owner, could not be more helpful. We will be back in the near future.

Loved our stay. Amazing quality food and service. Great menu selection. Steak & Ale pie for lunch was incredible and the Venison burger in the evening was the best I've ever had! The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable l can't have picked a better place to have stayed, beautiful pub.

Hello, It's difficult to write reviews when there are no comparison options. But Jane and Stevie are a couple that is second to none. The way you interact with your guests and yourself is an experience you won't forget. We stayed there for 3 nights and the dinner evenings were unforgettable. Quality of the food, presentation, no rush, there was a lot of love behind every course, what more could you want. Thank you, it was a nice 3 days. Ivo

Beautiful old thatched roof pub, so much character!! We stayed in additional rooms off the pub (would have loved to have booked early enough to got a room in the actual pub) The owners where extremely friendly & the evening meals in the pub restaurant were 10 out of 10, huge portions of gorgeous food and breakfast was also of high quality, The location on Exmoor was breath taking, lovely place to stay & not too far from the Tarr Steps, which is definitely worth a visit.

United KingdomThe owners were very friendly and accommodating, even though we arrived a bit late - keeping the kitchen open a little late for us and saving us a cosy table in the bar. They chatted with us a little after dinner and shared some local recommendations. The room was bit, quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Easy to park nearby even though we arrived late.
