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 KingdomElectric chargers were out of service. Check in and out took much longer than it needed to. The road noise was very loud at points.
Great location, good food and drink, the room was small but modern, well thought out, lots of nice freebies included.

United KingdomWe felt they didn't have enough staff - we had to wait a while before we were able to get checked in. At one point, we started being attended to, then the lady was interrupted by her manager to help other people - leaving us standing there! He was clearly in a rush, but didn't think about how rude that was to us? Again, at breakfast the next day, the food was delicious, but it took ages to arrive. I feel all of this could be solved by having more staff to help.
We did enjoy our stay there - the room was lovely - and also clean. We would return.

United KingdomThe ONLY thing I would say is that the location is a little out of Newbury. It is within walking distance but I'd say it's around a 25 minute walk each way. Taxis are however available from Newbury, and there are bus stops nearby too. There isn't a great deal in Speen, although the Kennet and Avon canal and river Kennet are both within a short walk and worth a stroll in a sunny day.
This place is a gem. A beautiful old coaching in on the a4 just outside of Newbury, the inn has been beautifully renovated and is now a really sumptuous, comfortable place to stay. The room was really spacious and the bed super comfortable. We really enjoyed the complimentary sloe gin too! The restaurant was also excellent, we had dinner there both nights, and breakfast was also great too. We stayed there because my wife had a business meeting, but this turned into a really lovely little excursion. Well recommended.
