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 KingdomIt definitely had its country feel to it, but also like we had stopped off at an American fuel station/nick-nack pub. Adored all of the pieces that they've gotten together all throughout the years to make it feel comfortable. And it definitely was indeed. We took our dog and they were very friendly with us all. It definitely had a homely feeling. The room was very clean and comfortable and had everything you needed. Thank you all again and for also helping me in the morning with the ice and making sure I was okay. (Fell in the shower). The staff were lovely and very efficient. The food was also great, although it could have done with a bit more variety on the menu as some folks can be picky and wasn't too sure on the menu. Other than that. Fab!

United KingdomNothing. Maybe time for new bedding with a nice duvet and pillows but definitely not a deal breaker.
Idyllic spot. The pub is also a wonderful mini motor museum so there's lots to see and look at. Fabulous walking on the doorstep. A friendly welcome and nice evening meal. Proper pub grub. Our room was a little tired and dated but spotlessly clean. Thank you 😊

United KingdomReception rather unwelcoming. Desk in front hall but staff member seated in office behind with his back to the front door. Dining was not in separate room but just at tables in the bar. I was on my own and felt conspicuous. There was no information of any kind in the room (except fire drill info). It would have been good to have confirmation of meal times and some info about the history of what was clearly a very old property. Food lovely but prices rather high for food and drink.
The location was very convenient because I was meeting family nearby. The scenery was stunning. Plenty of room for parking. The food was excellent and service good. Room comfortable.

United KingdomThe much vaunted nature reserve in much need of urgent maintenance, and the 2 foot-bridges are positively dangerous, and should be fenced off! We could only hear and not see the water-fowl!
I enjoyed excellent poached egg on toast, and buttered kipper fillets next morning. We both enjoyed ceral, fruit juice and toast, coffee served by friendly staff.
