How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing much, obviously there’s not much in the area on foot and decor isn’t the most modern but these are minor points!
This was reasonably priced and clean accommodation that was in a great location for our 2 night stay, as we wanted to both visit Bath and also Stonehenge by car. We were comfortable and there were no noise issues from the pub by the time we went to bed each night (between 10:30 and 11:30pm). The highlight for us was honestly the food - don’t miss the restaurant if you stay here! We would honestly go out of our way if we were ever within an hour’s drive to eat here again. Excellent Nepalese food, fantastic flavours, plenty for vegetarians and overall great portion sizes and value for money.

I don't think you could do anything else to make it better here.
We really like the breakfast here and we also made sure we ate a good breakfast .This meant that we had a good start to our days out .We found it was a got location for meeting up with family and friends that live in the local area where we were staying. The weather could have been a bit better but you can't change the weather forecast.

- • Solo traveller

- • Stayed 2 nights
On arrival the property was in total darkness because of a power cut - so no heating, lighting, bar or restaurant. As a result I had to go somewhere else for several hours. On my return, lighting was restored but my room was freezing. The inconvenience of that first day was considerable, especially as I had travelled 200 miles to get there; no facilities were available, I couldn't have a shower, and some form of compensation would be appropriate.
Excellent cheerful staff

- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The additional charge of £10pp for breakfast we felt was a bit excessive, especially as this was a blanket price no matter how much or little you ate. The stairs up to the bedrooms are quite steep and narrow which may be difficult for some to negotiate.
The property was in a good location with easy access to other major routes. The standard of food was very good, although not included in the original price. The noise levels were pretty good despite the rooms being above the bar, and overlooking the main road. Not sure if it would be the same in the height of summer
