Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

LuxembourgThere was some confusion about tipping in the restaurant which you have to watch out for. I ended up double tipping without knowing. The main street in front is very busy and cars go surprisingly fast for the size of the road, no fault of the hotel.
It is a super cozy old pub/restaurant where we had our Valentine's Day dinner. The rooms are all different and we chose one with a hunting theme. I loved the chaise lounge in front of the window. Of course Burford is tiny so you are right on the main street, very picturesque.

United KingdomIn an ideal world there would be parking, but Burford is a small place with limited parking.
Our rooms very extremely clean and very comfy, with all the facilities you'd expect, including a little fridge. The manager was very efficient and friendly. She gave us recommendations about local amenities and parking advice. She made sure we were comfortable in our rooms and had everything we needed. Continental breakfast was included which was ample.

United KingdomWe were put in a different room than what we booked online but it was still nice. There were some stains in the room but expected with an old pub 😊 Also worth noting, the breakfast doesn’t include hot food but available to order for additional cost.
Bathroom was very clean, great location, staff were great! Two thumbs up for the bar tender, very accommodating. They also let us store our bikes in the courtyard.

United KingdomThe room faced the road. They would be well advised to invest in double glazing or some other means of keeping out the noise of the road outside.
The room was great and the staff were very nice. The town itself is lovely and there are great options for food.

United KingdomUnfortunately, the room was the smallest of our three night staycation in and around the Cotswolds. The bed was a VERY SMALL double. We're not the biggest people, but it was a very uncomfortable night's sleep. The ensuite was tiny. The toilet was right up against the bath with not a lot of leg room or room. 😕 The height of the ceiling above the bath/shower was not great for anyone taller than 6 foot! There was no milk in the room, and we weren't provided any or asked if we'd like some (unlike the previous two nights in different Inns), for tea/coffee. This was the most expensive of the three night staycation, and whilst I always book and pay for "breakfast included" this booking only included a continental breakfast - a cooked breakfast of any sort was extra. (£12 for full english) This was not the case in the other Inns we stayed in.
Burford is a lovely town on the edge (The Gateway to) of the Cotwolds AONB. Good location. The Inn was old, quaint, and very cosy. There was a roaring fire in the bar. The bar was busy with guests and locals on the Saturday night 👍

United KingdomOur room had a plumbing noise, which was annoying and will be sorted during the refurb.
The hotel is in the center of Burford and is a beautiful ancient building. Poor timing on our part as the restaurant is closed for refurbishment. The menu looked great. We would recommend the hotel, but not the top front attic room.

United KingdomWhilst my room was comfortable and spacious the ceiling height was restricted in several places so I had to remember to duck and the water pressure was a little low.
The Highway Inn is well located on the High Street in Burford close to all the shops and whilst it does not have its own car park there were plenty of parking bays available outside and opposite. This was free parking overnight, although time limited during the day. All hotel staff were extremely friendly and especially kind to my dog - I felt he was very welcome in both the room and the restaurant area. I had a spacious and comfortable room on the top floor. Food in the restaurant was delicious both for dinner and breakfast.

United KingdomWe was under the impression that full english breakfast was included in the £130.00 price but found out at breakfast that this was extra so an extra £22.00 brought the total stay to £150.00 expensive we found for one night out of season we travel alot and pay around £110-£120 full english breakfast included. Our fault we should of checked we learnt the expensive way.
