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 KingdomRoom was a bit small and very cluttered. If we stayed again we would pay more for a bigger lighter room.
Fantastic food and very friendly staff. Beautiful old building. It was also extremely convenient for the A1.

United KingdomI can't think of anything I didn't like.
The staff were welcoming and friendly ( and efficient). The food was excellent, with a wide choice on the menu.. The room was clean and comfortable, I have been to the Bell several times, but this is the first time I've stayed and would definitely stay again.

United KingdomWe had to book through booking.com. We always prefer booking directly with the hotel.
Breakfast was amazing! We just concluded a 5 week trip to Europe. We live in the UK and The Bell Inn was the first place we stayed at the beginning of our trip. We enjoyed it so much, we wanted it to be the last place we stayed before going home!

United KingdomI wasn’t happy with the small pet fee, turned out to be £15 per night. This wasn’t explained until after non refundable payment! I did think £30 for my small dog was quite steep. We had spent a couple of nights away 2 weeks previous hotel near London and paid £10 pet fee for 2 nights.
The breakfast was lovely, freshly made to order. The room had all we needed. Nespresso was a great sign of a quality hotel. Great ambience when walking into the room, fresh towels folded nicely next to Shampoo,conditioner and shower gel. We enjoyed our stay in this quaint village.

United KingdomThey need to check when bookings come in as our last visit was with a dog and they said they didn’t have any rooms. We almost left but they managed to get us into a room which ended up being a really nice room with balcony.
Fantastic building, easy parking, super comfy beds, dinner and breakfast were amazing and the bar/dining areas have a lovely characterful feel to them. A nice touch to have Classic FM playing quietly on the radio when you get to your room! ;) Stayed twice and will definitely be back again.

United KingdomNothing. There is not much to see in Stilton village but the hotel and restaurant are wonderful.
We had a superior room which was in the old part of the hotel with lovely old original features. Fantastic large room with a comfortable bed. Towelling robes, bottled water ready for you by your bed, great biscuits with your tea and coffee, lots of attention paid to make for a great experience. Breakfast was made to order and delicious served in the beautiful dining room. I had the vegetarian breakfast - vegan sausage and black pudding, lovely poached eggs, tomato, beans, mushroom, hash brown and spinach which was much better than the usual vegetarian options. Dinner was fantastic with delicious food. My partner even got his main course and pudding free because it was his birthday. Of course there was lots of stilton on offer which made it even better.
