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 KingdomThe location of the television in the room was to the side of the bed so not ideal and also if you aren't comfortable with dogs probably not for you but we didn't have an issue and I'm not really a dog lover.
Overall the breakfast was very good decent selection of food and main breakfast options , and once ordered the wait wasn't very long at all. The room we had was comfortable but the television was located to the side of the bed not ideal, shower and bathroom ok but the view from the room very disappointing . The downstairs bar area was very accommodating and had a traditional cosy feel. Bar staff very nice . The location is ideal right in the centre of town and we had no issues with noise levels later at night as our room was located to the rear of the inn.

United KingdomWe've stayed before and have no complaints. Might sometimes like the breakfast hours to be extended a bit, but this is no big deal.
We were pleased with our rooms as we had asked for quiet rooms away from the roads and these were provided. Frank was also very helpful in helping us get an internet connection up and running. The location of the hotel is good for us as we came by public transport and the bus connections are nearby. Maybe this should be stressed as part of the Inn Collections efforts to encourage others to leave their cars behind and thus help reduce their carbon footprint.

United StatesPROBLEM RE STAIRS, AS STATED ABOVE.
BREAKFAST WAS GOOD. AS ONE MEMBER OF THE PARTY HAD MOBILITY ISSUES, IT WAS NOT EASY HAVING TO CLIMB THREE SETS OF STAIRS TO REACH ROOM. HAD EXPECTED MORE OF A HOTEL THAN A PUB WITH ACCOMMODATION. SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE OF INITIAL EXPECTATIONS. GREAT BEING ABLE TO HAVE FULL MEALS ON THE PREMISES AND THESE WERE GOOD.

United KingdomPaid a fair price for the room and would have expected better value for money. Stayed here when it was the Queen’s Hotel in 2003 , more of a homely Hotel feel then, totally understand times move on, but you can tell it’s now part of a chain, it was ok , but we we’re disappointed.
Good location. Good food. Beer was quite pricey and limited choice on draft.
