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.).

All round an excellent experience. The room was fabulous, superb breakfast and also dinner (although a bit pricey and the wine was very expensive).

United KingdomThe GM not listening when I called to discuss moving the date due to my partner being ill (type one diabetic), and after I had told him I was hard of hearing.he still kept talking at me. Evening meal good but not great (with no seasoning) definitely not value for money with each course being c£30.
Very comfortable and great serving staff and bar. Great breakfast and very dog friendly thanks, Paul.

Lovely cosy room. As it is an old building, the floorboard breaking from above was very loud. Beds were comfy, lovely toiletries, good triple glazing, and nice touches such as the biscuit jar, sleep spray and earplugs. Team were very friendly and breakfast was great.

BelgiumStreaky bacon has no part to play in a full English breakfast ugh!
Very friendly welcome when we arrived. Loved being given a flask of fresh milk for the room. Our room was spacious, warm and well equipped. The fresh coffee, cafetiere and shortbread are all lovely touches. The products in the bathroom are great quality. The complimentary pillow spray is such a nice touch and the bed was really comfy too. Our room was situated road side and we could hear the road traffic quite early in the morning.

United KingdomI booked the inn from the photos on the website, as the rooms looked lovely and cosy, and I know it is subjective, but I was given a room with tiled floor, not carpet, which is ok if you’re in Spain or Greece, not a cosy English inn though. Also, there were no bedside lights, so the only light source was the main wall lights, which gave a very flat, drab light and made the room not a particularly welcoming place to be. Again, a bit subjective I know, but disappointing. You also only have the main light switch which is unreachable from the bed. So I would avoid the room “Langley”.
Staff are excellent, very friendly and hospitable, and a nice bar area. I was chatting to the Chef and took his recommendation of the cod cheeks - absolutely sublime, one of the nicest meals I have had for long time. The breakfast (smoked salmon and scrambled eggs), was also excellent,
