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.).

Excellent spacious room in a very desirable walking area. Great to have fridge and kitchen utensils and fab shower with very hot water. We had Sunday roast pork dinner on our first night, 1 of the best pub meals we have ever had, and there was plenty, was welcome after our walk.

In an amazing location - the New Forest. Beautiful surroundings. The room was large and well equipped with fridge, microwave, kettle etc. Ample supply of tea, coffee sugar. The pub itself was gorgeous and full of character. Unfortunately, only had breakfast in there because of prior arrangements the previous day. Breakfast was cooked fresh, plentiful and delicious.

United KingdomAccommodation needed a little attention, patches of paint missing on wall, tear in curtain. Floors were stone/granite tiles, so very cold (slippers were provided though). Outside door was difficult to open, sticking at bottom, possibly due to the wet weather. No TV controls, had to ask for them!
Separate accommodation around back of old traditional pub with own patio, well equipped, small kitchen area with fridge, microwave. Coffee and tea etc, (decaff coffee would be good to add.). Quiet and good parking. Breakfast was good, although be nice to have had some choice of fruit. Meal in pub was good. Staff very friendly.

United KingdomOnce we had been moved ( due to an issue with the door not locking which caused the cold weather to come in ) we were very pleased with the room. We were initially in Rabbits but ended up in Horses where we stayed for 3 nights. We didn’t find the bed particularly comfortable but everyone is different so you might.
The staff were brilliant. Very friendly, & helpful. It was just what we were looking for, a lovely old traditional pub. The accommodation was well equipped. There was the usual kettle , microwave , crockery etc. Tea, coffee, & hot chocolate. There wasn’t any milk but it wasn’t a problem for us. The food in the pub was excellent. Always great service.
