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 KingdomWe did not find bed very comfortable so did not sleep as well as we would have liked.
Pub was very good as was the food. Room had everything you needed and it was nice that it had its own terrace. Staff were friendly and on the whole we had a good stay.

United KingdomThough the bed was a good size, the mattress needs changing as you could feel the inner springs.
My Room (8) - The space was good, nice bathroom with a lovely shower. Standard facilities of Tea & Coffee, shower products and TV provided. Good Wi-Fi in the room. Breakfast was included and I didn't opt for the full english but had a fabulous scrambled eggs on toast with perfect sausages. There was also pastries and cereals on hand. It's set in a lovely little village and I went for a morning stroll!

United KingdomThere was a leak in our bathroom. The shower arrangements were a bit weird and unsatisfactory. We forgot to mention the leak, so it wasn't fixed, not the fault of the staff, as we didn't mention it.
Food was excellent, but a few items were off the menu. Service was a bit slow, but we didn't mind.

United KingdomAs above....... great difficulty in trying to open the lock on the door of room 4. It was also most difficult in to operate the shower in room 4
Everything about was perfect regarding our 2 day stay at The Knife and Cleaver except for the lock on the door of room 4 and the shower both of which were difficult to operate. We are sure that these problems have been addressed as we mentioned them to the staff on duty before we left. Everyone there were so helpful and friendly and we certainly wish to stay there again. Thank you

United KingdomBed wasn't the most comfortable (a couple of springs were felt) and pillows could have been plumper. There is only one shop locally that closes fairly early. Despite the things I didn't like, I would stay again.
Great, friendly staff. Nice that you could open the front door and step into the pub and restaurant who would always accommodate us without booking. Plenty of parking. The accomodation is right opposite the church and it was nice to hear the church bells.

United KingdomMattress was a little hard for my liking. That's all.
Nicely decorated, room was clean and tidy. My room was in the annexe building behind the pub, so quieter in the evening than it would be in the pub itself. Food at the pub is great - I had the Gammon and Leek homemade pie with all the trimmings. Reasonably priced, and large portions. Good selection of ales and wines. Breakfast was very good - I had Eggs Benedict, but there were many options. EV charger at the front of the property - only a slow connection, but free.of charge, so I got 130 miles range added overnight FoC. Staff were all friendly, smiley, and happy to help. Really handy for an event at Millbrook Proving Ground.
