Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe room was a little on the small side allowing no room for a comfy chair to sit in which would've been good.
We had an evening meal (I had the veg Thai curry & jasmine rice which was lovely), the staff were all very friendly. The breakfast was also nice. We had a lovely view overlooking the fishing lake and the bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomI have nothing to put here thankfully.
The staff were excellent. We were running slightly late due to meetings running over, but they kept the kitchen open for us and made sure that we had an excellent dinner on our late arrival. Great hosts who really cared about the small things that are important when you stay away from home regularly.

United KingdomTV reception in our room was very poor, however as we were staying during Storm Babet this may have been the cause. Due to the very bad weather we had to curtail our stay, leaving after two nights instead of four again due to the weather washing out the places we were to visit. This is no fault of the hotel, just the storm.
Booking in on arrival was very easy as was finding the hotel. Staff very helpful. Room was sufficient for our needs. Food very well prepared although portions could have been a little smaller for our personal needs.

United KingdomRoad can be busy out front and caution needed when pulling out onto main road due to inconsiderate drivers speeding
Very friendly staff including management who we had the pleasure of sitting chatting with in the bar area. Perfect location and even though on a main road no noise heard in room at back of property. Never ate as as we had already booked dinner elsewhere. Breakfast was nice and friendly staff serving.

United KingdomWould have liked to see carpet rather than hard floor, but understand that this can be problematic with people coming straight in from outside - perhaps provision of a brush for grit removal? Being close to the back entrance means people walking past, perhaps a mirrored film on the windows to add a little more privacy whilst perched on the bed reading before tea time? Overall very good stay with nothing much to grumble about!
The Halfway House Inn is perfectly positioned for easy access to the surrounding area and attractions (National Trust, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovil, Sherborne, etc). The breakfasts are super, there is a slight DIY element to tea/coffee/toast which is not be a problem and helps to cut down on waste. Our room was a 'lodge' outside of the main building with direct access to the car park. Pretty much everything you could need in the room including a fridge. The current owners are currently in the process of a phased renovation and redecoration project, so things can only get even better.

United KingdomThe room could do with a refresh and the signal on the TV wasn't great. But that wouldn't put us off visiting again.
The room was spacious for our family, with good parking and in a convenient location. The staff serving breakfast were excellent, very friendly and attentive. The food served was also lovely.
