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 KingdomThe pub was advertised with creaky floorboards. but they were VERY creaky - no quiet trips to the bathroom during the night! We had trouble finding the switch for the landing light, which was very necessary as the room was up a short flight of stairs, very dark without a light.
The room was over the pub bar and near a roundabout, but the room was very quiet! Convenient location for us in Battle Excellent free car parking

United KingdomI appreciate the cost would be higher but breakfast included would have been a nice option. Although some reviews mentioned the floor noises our room 2 was particularly bad and certainly can be heard by other guests, not sure what can be done about it though
ease of booking, pub atmosphere and the evening meal was superb and the breakfast terrific. Very local to the high street and the Abbey.

United KingdomTiny shower room. Hardly room to turn the taps. Hot tap, not hot barely dribbles water. Mattress poor. Only enough room for one bedside table. Noisy loo. Paper-thin walls. Is there anything left to criticise.
Close to town, nothing special about room.

United KingdomThe bath had a hand shower with no option to fix it above oneself so was a little awkward to use - property age & room layout might make such an improvement difficult. The room was adjacent to the road and secondary glazing worked well to reduce noise levels although removed the option to add ventilation. Luckily the temperature was low enough for this not to cause an issue.
Good central location with easy walk to town centre. Breakfast - although circa 1 hour delay between ordering and receiving the food, once received, it was of good quality and portion size. As the venue advertises breakfasts to the general public I would have preferred the room rate to include breakfast. The room size was good and included essentials, tea tray included fresh coffee and a cafeteria but no biscuits.

I came cycling from London, I needed a good meal and a nice place to stay after a long day and I wasn't disappointed, it was perfect after cycling more than 100km. Nicely decorated room. Very good food in the pub. Old historic house. Nice staff, helpful people. Walking distance from the Battle Abbey, good location.

United KingdomNothing.
It was a welcoming, cosy and pleasingly individual pub. We loved the eclectic mix of furniture and historic objects d’art scattered around. Staff were attentive. The menu was interesting and the food very good and a cut above the usual. We recommend the pub and would stay there again. We only had one night booked but our large, airy room would have been very comfortable for a longer stay. The pub was a short, pleasant walk from the centre of town and Battle Abbey.
