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.).

I have stayed here before and had no hesitation in booking this hotel again. The staff are super friendly, the room is very comfortable and, together with good food available, it makes it the perfect choice.

United KingdomThe heavy traffic passing through Goudhurst in the morning is far too much for the village to handle. A by-pass is urgently needed.
This is not my first stay at this hotel. I love the way the ancient structure has been preserved and is still in comfortable good use. We were very well looked after by all the staff that we met, and who served our excellent breakfast.

United KingdomWould have appreciated it if breakfast could have commenced a little earlier than 8.30am, though the staff were very accommodating and served my meal very quickly. I was also offered a take away breakfast had I wanted a really early start to the day.
Very convenient location in the heart of a pretty village. Comfortable room with tea/coffee tray, dressing gowns and tasteful decor. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with an excellent choice of food available. Free car parking at the front and rear of the property.

United KingdomThe amount of traffic that passes through Goudhurst, but there’s nothing the hotel can do about that.
It was just great, with extremely friendly staff, a delicious breakfast, and a rum with a full posted bed that will be difficult to match.

United KingdomBreakfast was very good but I’m sorry to say that the coffee was borderline undrinkable. The hot water for the shower took forever to come through but it did eventually so that was fine. The wardrobe was a novel place to hide the kettle!
The journey to our room was intriguing although it did carry a risk of banging one’s head on low beams. To say the place is full of character and history is an understatement. On possibly the warmest night of the year, I was slightly nervous of opening the only window given its antiquity but it was fine. Some traffic noise as a result but less than I expected given the sharp bend right outside. Food was excellent even though we arrived late, as was the beer. Parking was easy. Bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe hotel was lovely, staff really friendly and they went beyond to help me with some requests which I appreciated. Room was beautiful and very spacious. The one thing I did not like was that I could not turn the towel rail off and I have a problem with heat but at least I could open the window fully which helped. The breakfast was really good.
