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 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 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.).

United KingdomSlippy in the shower without a non slip mat. Heard a couple of voices in neighbouring room early ~6am, ok for us but I suspect would be noisy at weekends...although earplugs were provided. Could use a couple of shelves for storing clothes.
Comfy bed, large room and bathroom, tea/coffee making facilities with snacks in room, central location. Easy out of hours access although we weren't back late enough to worry about that! Shower pressure was good (overhead rose). Central location.

United KingdomSome more info on the parking would have been good - and the guy in room next door throwing up from 7am when i only got in at 3 was not appreciated - but no fault of the pub.
Quite central and nice enough area - room was nice - a fan and a bedside lamp would be a good addition however. Staff seemed nice enough - treats in the room were a nice touch

United KingdomWhen we arrived, we were unable to pay as the pub is closed on a Sunday, and on Monday, they wanted me to pay over the phone. I wasn't comfortable doing that as my card had been stolen at the train station 🙃 In the end, it was sorted. We just paid when we caught someone in the actual pub downstairs, so it all worked out in the end. We we're on the top floor room 3 if me and my husband cracked our head once we did it 100 times lol getting out of our room leading down the stairs. I just want to say there is a sign, but maybe put another one as people leave the room. This is just for advice. Really, the place is lovely, and so are the staff.
The location is really good 👍 we will definitely stay again 😊

United KingdomIt was very clean and the staff were lovely. It’s just that things didn’t quite work. The wi-fi failed completely (and I needed it read up for my meeting the next day) and the fittings - all new - were shoddily made. Ever sensed that alarm as a toilet seat slips when you’re on the loo, or the basin tap that’s not fixed in place so it moves when you try to use it? These are small things, I guess, and I still enjoyed my stay. It wouldn’t take much to fix them and achieve a 10/10 score. Maybe drag the builders back in to sort out their workmanship!
Great location, good customer service, comfy bed and a nice stock of treats.

United KingdomCan't say there was anything we disliked apart from having to duck when you reach top of staircase ha ha. May have shown the buildings opposite my butt as forgot to shut the blind before having a wee but that was my own fault! May be a bit noisy in the Summer months when back venue is open but hey they supply ear plugs
Supplied cartons of orange juice, biscuits, cake, Tea & Coffee etc even ear plugs (which we did not need to use) pub downstairs was warm & inviting with log fires. Bed was so comfortable we slept really well.

United KingdomRoom on second floor was small but comfortable. Reached by steep staircase with extremely low ceiling so absolutely no if you have any mobility issues or don't want to climb the stairs crouched or on all fours. No restaurant or breakfast option but not an issue as plenty of really good eating options near-by. Very noisy from adjacent bars into the early hours even with windows shut, but that's the price of staying so central. Earplugs were provided in the room!
Reasonably priced and perfectly located for Hertford town centre. Enjoyed the downstairs bar with two open log fires making it very welcoming.

United KingdomUnfortunately, the walls were paper thin, and I could hear someone in the next room talking on the phone in the middle of the night. The pub was shut when I stayed, and I imagine it would be very noisy if it was open. Also, the bath had no plug!
Very convenient location! The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The en-suite was also large.

United KingdomHearing the night porter talking on the phone until the early hours right by my bed wall whilst I was trying to get to sleep was not ideal (he wasn't doing this on purpose, just unfortunate), and the broken television left in the corner of the room underneath the working TV. The TV channels needed to be re-scanned as well, previously they were not working. The decor is tired and needs a decoration in my view but considering the price (almost half of Hertford House for a similar room), you get what you pay for. I was also quite worried for the owners that two brand new TVs were just sitting by the common rear entrance, with some delivered Amazon packages - you're far too trusting!
Spacious room with large bed, desk, lots of pillows, and large bathroom. Blackout blinds, supplied water, juice, and snacks should you need them.

United KingdomWe were woken at around 1am by another visitor as they had some water leaking in their room. We were too worried to use the shower or bath in the morning so had to wait until we got home. Toilet seat was also wobbly.
Friendly staff. Great location, was able to walk just a couple of minutes to restaurants and bars. Event on that night was finished at a good time and there was no noise or trouble. Room was lovely and clean, comfy bed and lots of complimentary snacks and drinks. Great check in / out times didn’t feel rushed or waiting around.
