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 KingdomRefusal to accept cash is not good enough. Other pubs in town accept cash, so the excuse given of no local banks doesn't hold water.
Room fine, although door could do with a closer to stop it banging.

United KingdomA few niggles with regards to cleanliness (lots of dead flies on the windowsill next to our table for the evening meal) but otherwise cannot fault this place and would stay again.
Fabulous location, friendly staff and a lovely view over the market square from the room. Plenty of parking in the main square. Both the evening meal and the breakfast were delicious.

United KingdomThe only very minor thing I could mention in the 'What didn't you like section' is that on this visit I stayed in the main building (on my previous stay I stayed in one of the rooms in the courtyard with a walk in shower). The room I stayed in in the main building had a bath with a shower head that was a little low to comfortably use.
2nd stay in this hotel working locally. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet, breakfast was made to order and very good with lots of choice, parking available right opposite the hotel, evening meals were great, free Wi-Fi with login. Everything you need in one place, would highly recommend.

United KingdomOn the day we arrived there were a group of young men drinking in the reception area. As the group grew larger and the beer flowed one or two made much use of the ‘f’ word.
Breakfast was very good. The staff (Gaye and Chris) were friendly, welcoming, efficient and good humoured.

United KingdomWoken up at 1am by false fire alarm and noisy neighbours on the second night. A few cob webs on the high beams.
Quirky loft room with low beams, only banned my head a few times 😁. Great food and great drinks. Would definitely go again.

United KingdomThe wifi was unsecure and as given above about breakfast.
I stayed 2 nights in lovely Masham. The hotel is on the market square, with plenty of parking available. There is an honesty box in the square and in the Kings Head to pay for the parking. Staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. The food was good both in the evening and breakfast, with the later served from 07.00am. The breakfast, is cooked to order and did not get served till 07.35am on the first morning. However, when I spoke about needing to get away quickly in the morning, they told me to come down five minutes earlier, which solved the problem. The room was comfortable with free wifi. I would thoroughly recommend the Kings Head at Masham, and would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomFood menu in the room didn't reflect the menu in the dining room. Wasn't easy to get a table for dinner even though we were guests. It was either very late or too early. It was a B/H weekend so it would have been helpful if the hotel had messaged to inform us that tables would be limited and then we could have pre-booked.
The breakfast staff. Lovely, funny man and wife who gave great service. Would go back just for their morning banter.
