Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomShower unit is a basic unit. Room a tad chilly with single gazing tho supplemental oil filled heaters are provided - assume this is because it’s a listed building with associated planning issues for windows

Great location with free onsite parking. Doors were closed on arrival but we were able to leave our car and take a walk, checking in on our return. Room was clean, quiet and bathroom had been refurbished. Host worked hard to provide customers with breakfast, on his own !. Good choice of cold and hot food.

FranceSo we had issues with the lock on the front door and our room door. Often took several attempts to actually get in. The place needs a good overhaul and some serious attention. We used to come here years ago and remember it as a thriving pub, not so anymore. Once all the day trippers had left it was quiet and the staff leaving around 10pm to go home. We had to have our last drink outside as they needed to lock up. The locals don’t seem to go there any more.
Thé location is excellent with lots of hiking on your doorstep. The staff were all very friendly and the food was wonderful.

United KingdomThe manager was unwelcoming and miserable. It was a real dampener. There was no food on Monday night. We therefore eat elsewhere every night. Plaster is peeling off the ceiling in the dining room. It is really bad and will eventually fall off. The plumbing in my friends room was poor.
Malham is lovely. Buck Inn sits in a great location and looks the part. Generally the decor was good. Boltmaker is a great beer. The bedroom was comfortable. The boot tray is an excellent idea in the bedroom although I left my boots in the car.

United KingdomThe toilet seat fell off This revealed it was unclean where it had hinged The bin in the bathroom hadn't been emptied from the previous occupant's stay The shower was luke warm The room needs a small armchair rather than all available space taken by two cupboards! (stool that was in there - bit useless) A bedside table on both sides instead would also be good rather than just the one Dinner. Slight misleading on menu. Says 'award winning' sausages. Unfortunately these were tough skinned through over cooking and gravy from packet I think. Breakfast perhaps too minimal for price of BnB. No muesli option In all cost me £99 + 37 (meal) £136 - this may be cheaper than the local going rate but to be enticing - needs to be looking at the details bit more.
Location outstanding Met two employees - both friendly and welcoming Bed super comfortable Linen fresh and clean Relaxed Sticky toffee pudding superb!

United KingdomIt’s an old building and it needs to be refurbished. The bar is a typical walkers bar, also in need of some tlc as it lacked any sort of atmosphere.
The beds were comfortable, the sheets pristine and the towels fluffy. The dinner was excellent.
