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 KingdomUnfortunately there was a nasty smell of drains in the lovely looking snug, which could use some attention. The heating was cold when we went to bed & not on for long first thing in the morning.
Beautiful building right in the town with parking on site. Beds were comfortable and the hot water in the bathroom was immediate & shower was great. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

United KingdomThe car park was very tight to get in and out of.
The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had an evening meal there which was delicious. The bar had a lovely cosy atmosphere, with friendly customers that spoke to us!. we stayed in the family suite which had a separate twin room for our kids. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a good choice of drinks and complimentary biscuits.

United KingdomBed was uncomfortable, on investigation the mattress topper had worked it’s way across the bed which meant there was a ridge on on side, better once we had straightened it. However probably needs a better fitting one as the age and construction of a very old but lovely building means it slopes a little. So probably cheaper to sort the bed.
Very convenient for our purpose. Good breakfast Friendly staff

The car park is small , access not easy and mainly taken by staff . 2hr limit disc parking in during daytime nearby not ideal even if you can find a space . Staff were helpful but some guidance re parking prior to arrival would be useful.

United KingdomNothing to dislike in my opinion
We've stayed at the Black Lion previously and always loved it. The room was clean, comfortable, there was tea, coffee, bottled water everything we could need. The food was delicious on the evening and the breakfast was beautifully cooked on the morning alongside a selection of cereals, yogurts and fruit juices. No complaints what so ever 😊
