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...).

United KingdomRoom was OK but room details stated bathroom was Private but other people Guests or staff were also using it. You shouldn't claim it is Private Bathroom. Room adequate but very awkward stepping over the puddle outside the room door caused by radiator leak every time we left the room. Informed owner who knew about the problem but they couldn't get anyone to fix it over the weekend.
Bed very comfortable

United KingdomWe booked a double room online, as per the pictures on booking.com, but were given a twin room. The staff member said that the online pictures were out of date, and that they no longer had double rooms. He did offer to zip the beds together when we went out, but couldn't provide a double-duvet. We were happy with that, but when we returned late that evening, it hadn't been done. I'm sure he simply forgot and he had been very helpful with everything else. When we arrived in the room there was only sugar on the drinks tray - no tea or coffee, only one mug, and the milk and water bottles were both empty. I spoke to a staff member, who gave me some teabags but couldn't find any coffee sachets (so gave me a ramekin of coffee spooned out of a jar. He also gave me another mug and came and filled the milk and water bottles for us. Because the rooms are directly in the courtyard, with two windows facing the tables/chairs, you cannot comfortably be in your room without having to pull the blinds down, which then makes it dark. Would be better to have some nets or voils, so you can still enjoy the daylight but also have some privacy.
The room was small but very clean and tidy, and looked like it had recently been decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding and towels provided were brilliant white, fresh and clean. Lovely pillows and complimentary body wash in the bathroom. We were met in the pub bar by one of the staff members, who took us to our room straight away, which was a courtyard room. Although people were sat in the courtyard during the afternoon/evening (almost right outside your door) it was lovely and quiet once the pub shut. There was also access to/from the courtyard without having to go through the pub, so not a problem when the pub was shut. Excellent location, easy walking to town centre, train station, Borough gardens and the public car if you're driving. It was £72 for one night, room only, so the price was good overall, especially as there was an event in town and everywhere was fully booked.

United KingdomMaybe just needs a bin in the bathroom. For what we paid this place can't be faulted.
It's a great location with plenty to see and do. 15 min drive from Weymouth. The host was really nice and friendly., He told us to use the garden entrance if we didn't want to walk through the pub. The lady cleaning the rooms is doing a great job as it was spotless. We will definitely be coming back

United KingdomThe rooms are above a pub. On a Saturday night there is live music - so be prepared for that. I needed to be up early the next day which could have been a problem, but fortunately I was exhausted so it wasn't a factor. No bedside lamp.
Convenient location for my purposes. Easy access to Dorchester, Weymouth and surrounds. Not too pricey. Very clean and nice shower. Coffee and tea available.

United KingdomNo parking when parking was advertised. No food available at the Inn. The accommodation was in the beer garden so would not have felt safe if alone. Place needs a lick of paint. No fridge for the milk so that was left out and was warm. Would be nice to have complimentary shower gel rather than left lidl shower gel and it would be nice to put your hand soap in a reusable dispenser. It needs a few little touches like that. Needed an extra pillow
Was cheap as sharing the room and cost. Friendly staff
