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, 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, 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.).

To quote a famous song. Every thing was awesome. From being greeted, evening meal and breakfast. In fact breakfast was exceptional. The chef is outstanding.

United KingdomFiredoor downstairs needs soft close. Quiet location makes this noise really grate... Wife wanted detachable shower head to shower without washing/wetting hair.
Staff were great. Location was so quiet (in a good way) but the pub had plenty of life. Beer was good.

United KingdomCould do with a look at the shower as it was only burning hot or freezing cold. Not too much of an issue for us though. Maybe a hose labelled as dog wash in the winter? Bed was a bit hard for me but would suit some.
Loved the location, clean and friendly. Shower pressure was good. The food in the restaurant was incredible!

United KingdomEverything was great, except the bed was a bit on a small side. It was even too short for me (I am 5'5''). The village of Butterton is really beautiful and we did a great 10km walk from the Wetton Mills Tea Room to Thor's Cave and around the surrounding countryside.
The Black Lion Inn was in perfect location, great hiking opportunities. Really friendly staff and excellent food. We joined a local quiz night which was a fun way to get to know some of the locals. Very friendly people.

Delicious food; good local produce beatifully cooked, homemade cookies in the room on arrival, yum. Lovely location, it was very easy to find great walks directly from the Inn so we could have car free trips out, the OS map in the room was a bonus and Matt was very happy sharing his local knowledge of the area for our trips out and about. A great relaxing stay in a beautifully quiet area.
