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 KingdomThe mattress is nearing the end of its life, with the ‘rolling towards the middle’ problem!
Windrush is a lovely room over the road from the pub, which is set next to the river on a quiet lane.

United KingdomThe draughty table in the window. Lack of instructions on using the splendid shower, and also the room heating thermostat. We got there by trial and error, but with some frustration.

United KingdomOur nice accommodation was across the road from the pub in a refurbished stone cottage. The lighting could have been better.
We had an early evening meal in the pub, which is way off the beaten track. However customers started to arrive in droves. Despite being so busy the landlord took the time to come and have a chat with us to make us feel welcome.

United KingdomIt's hard to be critical but just a few tweaks would have been perfect a large mirror over the tea/coffee station instead of a picture would have made that room (Riverside) 10/10 just for ease of using hair dryer/straighteners. And a choice of a harder pillow but that's just me.
We were just staying for 1 night beautiful quiet location evening meal was excellent, breakfast was also excellent, the sunrise from our room in the morning was special. The room was a nice size and a very sensibly sized bathroom with places to put your washbags. The staff were all really friendly

United KingdomMy one criticism would be like so many hotel rooms there was no socket near a mirror for the hairdryer, so frustrating that these things aren’t thought of, I had to use a compact mirror which wasn’t ideal. Other than that would have been a 10/10
Really lovely pub and very cute, decent sized room with large bed & sofa. Spacious bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion etc, hairdryer and the room was lovely and warm. Evening meal was excellent as were the cocktails & breakfast!
