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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The food was on the pricey side but the quality was very high. The inn was very busy when we arrived and the car park was full. Parking was problematic since the inn fronts a main road and there was nowhere else nearby to leave the car.
Room was comfortable and staff were very friendly. Food was excellent, albeit quite pricey. Steak pie was the best that I have ever tasted.

There was nothing not to like
off the beaten track not far from Chichester , this beautiful property. Superbly managed and maintain. The rooms are delightful and the bathrooms are small but stunning and spotlessly clean. As for the staff they are more than willing to spend time discussing local attractions and any requirements you may have. Overall it was a wonderful stay albeit only for one night. I would certainly book again and for longer this time : taking advantage of the hospitality - a menu of freshly prepared dishes and a good selection of wine.

The bedrooms are small, only room for one chair and rather dimly lit, reading was a bit of a strain.
It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Very attractive dining room. With colourful prints on the wall and bright cushions. The staff were efficient and friendly and it was great to be able to thank the kitchen guys through the hatch. The food on all 3 nights of our stay was excellent, an interesting menus and everything cooked superbly. The pub is well placed for visiting local places of interest.

We had the most lovely time. The pub is beautiful, with lovely art works tastefully arrange. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, which is enhanced by the lovely staff, who are so friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The food was incredible, from the presentation to the taste. It was all exceptional with an eye for detail, which just made everything special. What was a lovely treat to ourselves was taken to a whole new level, from the incredible pie for supper to the amazing breakfast selection in the morning. I was so pleased to be staying for two nights so we could do the menu justice. The room was lovely, with the little homemade treats on the tea tray a lovely surprise as well as the flask of fresh milk. The bed was large and comfortable. The shower amazing. I could go on and on...... Can not recommend highly enough, will definitely be booking another visit. Thank you to everyone for a lovely weekend.
