Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomIt was quite cold and we couldn't get the radiators on TV didn't work - not major of course but was a bit odd Definitely need breakfast or be informed of where to go for breakfast, only thing this pub is missing is something in the mornings. They do supply tea/coffee!
Really great location Staff were friendly and the rooms are actually separate to the pub a bit so it didn't feel like you were staying in a pub. Also good sound proofing. Rooms were very lovely!

United KingdomI want to stress that the following wasn't a problem for me. I knew what I was booking - a room attached to a pub close to a busy railway line. However, if you are a very light sleeper and/or go to bed early it may be something you might want to consider before booking.
I arrived just after my notified check in time and asked at the bar about checking in as there was no obvious 'reception' desk. The friendly, welcoming, courteous staff quickly confirmed my booking completed the check in and showed me to my room. My room, in a converted 'stable' block directly off the car park, was spacious and clean and was very pleasant. Plenty of tea/coffee/sugar/milk was provided along with bottled water. Ample storage was provided by a wardrobe, bedside tables and a desk all fitted with drawers. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great with strong water pressure. The bed was comfy and the pillows were fine. I dined in the pub restaurant on my first night and although I hadn't booked and the place was very busy (always a good sign) a table was quickly found. I had the steak and ale pie which was delicious. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the atmosphere was good. A very enjoyable experience and I would consider staying at The Coachman again. Thank you.

United KingdomHaving stayed in the Flat 7years ago, I was surprised to see that it was exactly the same, except 1 bed had been taken out of the bedroom. The brick wallpaper was still there , It needed updating then, I thought that under new owners, it might have had a coat of paint. But apart from that I would recommend staying there,
it is very close to my son, and you can walk to the shops. And the railway station is just across the road. It has everything you need, the kitchen, has cooker, fridge, Microwave, toaster,kettle. The Pub serves excellent food. It was also spotlessly clean. And is quite reasonable. I would stay there again
