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 KingdomA permanent bath mat was needed
Had a one one night as were attending a wedding nearby. We had bed and breakfast. The corridors and stairways were very tired but the room was comfortable and a lovely new bathroom too. It was a very warm night when we stayed and a fan was thankfully provided. We stayed at the Front and it was noisy but it wasn’t a problem. We had breakfast the next morning in the Bar Area and I couldn’t fault it. Staff were friendly and car parking was free when u registered on arrival. Would I stay again. Absolutely yes. Also at around £100 very good value Inc breakfast. Thank u

United KingdomThe rooms are above a busy pub that sometimes have live bands on till around midnight..so this is not the place for an early night, and you might hear deliveries etc..not a criticism by us, but it is a good to know. We are booked again for December.
Its a selection of rooms above a very busy pub, but it's a good pub to enjoy a few drinks and the food looked nice. The rooms are quite small, with upgraded modern bathrooms, but comfy enough for one night. The breakfast was very good and served by a waitress, with the normal cereal etc self serve, tea and instant coffee was available too, with juices. The inn is 3 minutes away from the Underground Station, and there are takeaways and a shop just across the road.

Easy to find with plenty of parking and very close to the tube station. There were lots of cafes, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The staff were really friendly and the room was well equipped, clean and spacious. We were warned about the live DJ on a Saturday night and it was definitely as noisy as expected, even with earplugs in. However, we love 70s, 80s and 90s dance music and really enjoyed it. Saturday nights are best avoided if you don't. It's a shame we'd had such a long day & were too tired to go down and join in as it sounded like fun!
