Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. 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 review scores we’ve received. We’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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 KingdomI didn’t like the fact that we were positioned in pretty much what was the pub garden. I think on the description of the property this is really misleading. We looked out onto a really unattractive plastic marquee that flapped in the wind, absolutely nothing like the one shown in the photos, which really spoilt the whole outlook onto the hotel itself. I also didn’t appreciate seeing who looked like the caretaker popping round the back of the marquee to his shed to have a cigarette every 20 minutes or so looking straight into the doors of the shepherds hut. Had I been going the work event I was meant to originally been going to I would have been staying here on my own and would have actually felt really vulnerable. Overall the shepherds hut was such a lovely space but where it’s positioned isn’t ideal and the positioning of the hut in the photos is totally different to the reality. Describing it in the herb garden isn’t totally untrue but I do think it should say the herb garden is situated at the end of the pub garden and people can sit and watch you from outside.
The shepherds hut itself was fabulous, couldn’t fault it. It was fabulously stocked full of everything you would need for a great stay. Really clean and the attention to detail was second to none.

United KingdomBooking.com has the rooms listed as pet friendly with additional charge however on The way there was told the room we booked was not pet friendly and the only option is to upgrade room by addtitional cost (£85 later+£15 pet charge ) or cancel the booking and lose your money (£214.50) as it is non refundable.. So check with hotel before you book due to the listings being incorrect
Lovely room clean and well decorated, Super comfy bed and good size bath. hotel staff very polite and helpful Also lovely complimentary strawberries and cream in the room.

NetherlandsI cannot think of a single improvement. The price was a little high (just over £400); just under £400 would have felt more comfortable, but, hey, we had a great time!!
An amazing, quirky boutique hotel which surprised and delighted at every turn. Our room was comfortable, unusually furnished and quiet. The food in the 'pub' was anything but 'pub food' - it was full of flavour, delicious, with generous portions.. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would score this hotel 10 out of 10, and would happily return. Thanks guys.

United KingdomDoor closers required on bedroom doors, as some people just allow their doors to slam. More a pointer - this is a public house, and rooms above the public areas can be noisy until after closing time. There are other rooms that would be mor acceptable to light sleepers.
Dinner and breakfast were sort of pub food, but better than a normal pub. Breakfast granola v. good indeed. Room and bed very comfortable.
