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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Loved everything about my stay here. Calm, friendly, clean, beautiful location. Adam (owner) and Owen (manager) were both helpful and friendly. I'd recommend this place if you are looking for authentic and friendly place to stay.

United KingdomA wider breakfast choice - but this is coming in the next few weeks.
A proper village pub/inn well supported by the local community. Small menu but top quality food. Adam the owner is a great guy who recently took over the pub. He has some really positive plans in place for the future. He is backed up by a wonderful team. Everyone was so positive, bubbly and welcoming. The locals we met in the pub were great fun and made us very welcome. A really pleasant few nights. Thank you.

United KingdomA little off the beaten track but in a nice rural and peaceful village.
This pub/restaurant has been recently taken over. The new proprietor is great and very enthusiastic. A fist class welcome and nothing was too much trouble. He has much to do with upgrading the building and bedrooms etc but the food and beer and ambiance are first class.

United KingdomIt needs a bit of a refurbished and it was a hot day /night so could have done with a fan in the room . But didn’t stop me sleeping as bed was comfy.
The location is very picturesque and rural. The roads are single lane tiny and windy but it’s worth it as pretty setting next to a very old and interesting church. Also only 30 minutes from Cardiff.

United Kingdomnot a comment on "did not like" just rooms were understandbly tired; however, beds were comfortable and Adam is doing the rooms up two at a time so looking forward to staying again in a renovated room
considering Adam has only had the pub for 5 weeks he did a splendid job of welcoming us and explaining his plans. Dining was very good and the wine tasting evening was an unexpected bonus.

United StatesOnly problem we encountered was the internet was having some problems in the room, but we were able to use it downstairs in the pub.
The new owner of the pub was fantastic, very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Amazing meals on the menu at the pub at night. Breakfast was good as well! Over all, we had an amazing visit and we will return. Room was large, as well as the bathroom.

United KingdomThe Wi-fi for working was intermittent in the room I had and I ended up using my I phone as a connection in the morning. I had a bit of a struggle to turn the towel rail up in the bathroom, the valve was very stiff and I wonder if someone not as strong would have managed.
All the staff were extremely helpful and attentive. The food is delicious and cooked fresh. My room was comfortable and had everything needed. My breakfast was basic but due to not Chef on site in the morning, however it fulfilled what I needed and again the staff had left everything for me we had discussed the previous evening. Overall I would stay again with a few tweeks.
