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 KingdomIf we didn't like anything, that was us just being picky. Really, it's a great location and fantastic pub with atmosphere and service to compliment.
Great staff, excellent evening meal and breakfast. Room was good and spacious. Definitely a lovely local pub to return to in the future. Thanks.

United KingdomThere is almost nothing to fault. The cottage would benefit from hooks in the front hall (we had nowhere to hang our coats), and it could do with more than two coffee mugs in the kitchen. But these were very minor points, and did not detract from an excellent stay.
We had a wonderful stay. We rented the small cottage opposite the pub. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and full of character. Breakfast each morning was exceptional - one of the best cooked breakfasts we've ever had. The pub is dog-friendly, and has a resident dog, which we all loved, especially our children. The staff were friendly and helpful. We explored the village, and also several neighbouring villages, all of which were delightful. We will definitely return.

United KingdomThe area is poor in sightseeing options; there’s nothing nearby to visit. In the kitchen, the cabinets were somewhat dirty, as well as under the bed in the bedroom.
If you want to take a break from civilization, this place meets all the requirements. The pub serves delicious food (dinner + breakfast).

United KingdomWe stayed in the house opposite the Inn. The upstairs bedroom has no blinds for the windows. The bedroom would benefit from the addition of a chair and wardrobe, and more places in the shower room for clothes, towels and toiletries.

CanadaThe room was great - but a little noisy in the evening. - being over a popular village Pub. But we were so exhausted after a busy day, that we still slept soundly.
The location in Chaddleworth was perfect to tour the area and to visit Highclere Castle. The breakfast each morning was delicious and hearty, friendly and efficiently served by Amanda. Dinners in the evening were a delight! Service by Rosie, Nathan and Steve was top notch and super friendly. I loved how all the locals brought their dogs into the pub! Simply a great experience. Thanks Ibex Inn!

Excellent room...upgraded to the chalet apartment a louge diner area, and an upstairs area with a comfortable bed, a great shower room and TV. The Ibex serves fabulous food and local ales served by people who care about the balance between running a local friendly pub suitable for a farmer on their way home and excellent restaurant quality food in an elegant setting. I'll be back again for sure.
