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.).

United KingdomRoom was a little cold at times. It took a very long time for the hot water to come through to the basin tap. There was nowhere to hang clothes, only shelves.
Meals were plentiful with good choices and nicely cooked. Room was pleasant and comfortable. Good supply of teas and coffee and biscuits.

United KingdomFelt a little impersonal. Only instant coffee for breakfast. Appreciate that cappuccino’s and lattes are not always possible but not even a cafetière of fresh ground coffee? No excuse.
Spotlessly clean. Great location. Good breakfast.

A bit of early 20th century English village life. Goring and its locks is beautiful.

United KingdomI was travelling with my son and daughter in law. I paid for two double rooms. Whilst they were given a large double room mine was very small and more like a single than a double.
Quaint hotel in the lovely village of Goring. Fridge with real milk so you can have a dece cup of tea.

United KingdomHad a lovely bath with rain shower, but pop up plug didn't work so unable to have a bath, which was disappointing. Seems to have changed hands more recently, pub in process of redecoration which is good, scaffolding around parts of building, so needed to keep curtains pulled to ensure privacy .
Lively pub, nice atmosphere. Good breakfast. Fresh milk available in fridge on landing for tea and coffee in rooms, small seating area on landing, quiet if didn't want to sit in pub. Does evening meals typical pub food.

United KingdomLots of areas of the hotel part of the pub need decorating. Our initial room had flaky paint, blinds hanging off, looking out of window area was very messy. Our room was changed and the 2nd room was a big improvement.
Staff were very helpful and responsive. In the heart of the village and quiet. Bed large and comfortable. Room problem was dealt with quickly and positively. Food was good. Very good choice of wines by the glass 🍷

United KingdomBreakfast was tasty but could have been more generous. Missed the opportunity to have cereal, fruit, fruit juice, yoghurt and toast before the hot selection. Not a show stopper as the hot options we had were tasty (and honestly, sufficient) ... its just that when holidaying, you like that little bit extra.
The room was lovely. It was nice to stay somewhere that had some thought put into personalising the rooms. All the staff we had contact with were friendly and helpful. The location was a perfect stop for us on our journey along the Thames Path and Goring a cosy little town to spend a bit of time in before setting off again.

United KingdomFirst time staying in a pub and I'm sorry to say it will be our last. Far too noisy up to approx 11pm. Had to have windows open due to heat so it was hard to avoid the noise
Lovely pub, great food and friendly staff. Small room but had everything we need.

United KingdomThe painted wooden floors were a little slippery for older guests and I would have preferred traditional curtains in the room! However all in all a good experience in an excellent location!
It was a lovely quiet location. The pub was very busy when I Arrived but was immediately greeted by a member of staff who showed me to my room. It was well appointed and I liked the fresh milk available in the fridge on the landing. All the food was of good quality well presented and reasonably priced and the staff were well trained and nothing was too much trouble. it was a lovely location the river 5 minutes one way and the station 5 the other way. Breakfast service was also excellent with good choice available.

United KingdomBreakfast was very odd. Choice of 1 thing from menu, so full English or granola! No cereals. They did provide toast if asked but just with butter. No marmalade, honey etc. It was if they had never had breakfast before!

United KingdomOur room was on the front and unfortunately as the weather was very hot, we had to sleep with the windows open to try and cool the room. The church bells woke us on the hour every hour and the traffic noise under the window was not what we are accustomed to. The bedroom curtains were very shabby & tired and had a huge hole in them. In addition, the bed creaked with the slightest movement and contributed to a rather un comfy stay. I would suggest that this “superior room” needs a bit of an update.
Beautifully located near the river and has an atmospheric restaurant and bar. Friendly staff and accessible 24/7
