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.).

FranceThe rooms were spacious but lacked cosiness for a British Inn. A more suitable desk for working at and perhaps a rug in the rooms would make it feel more homely as opposed to a generic hotel room. More character please, we have so much in our UK pubs to share.
Excellent location, excellent staff. the breakfast was perfect and the condition of the rooms was very clean.

Great place to stop the night before a ferry crossing from Dover, only 10 to 15 minutes away. The staff were friendly and helpful and we ate in the pub on arrival, had a beautiful Sunday roast, food was great. The room was excellent for a nights stay with convenient parking, would recommend

United KingdomMy only moan is the breakfast times. Limited window of 9am to 930 am. I was provided with a continental breakfast tray in lieu as i had to leave before that time. The tray was really poor...single serving of rice crispies, a banana, and a small pastry . I left hungry.
Really enjoyed staying here. Rooms are modern out houses really well done and clean and tidy. Very comfortable and cosy. I ate in the pub and the food was good, well priced and not your typical pub grub. Some really good menu options. Staff were friendly and atmosphere fun. Genuinely a great place to stay.

United KingdomOnly thing was portion sizes too big to allow for three courses! Was gutted to not have room for a pudding! A mini fridge in room would be useful for milk given for breakfast in our room next morning.
Beautiful accommodation, well decorated throughout to a very high standard. Beautiful pub garden with stunning views. Food was exceptional. Lovely touch being able to have breakfast tray in our room.

United KingdomNo complaints!
The unit was cozy and clean, and we were able to park right in front. We were leaving too early in the morning to have breakfast at the pub, so the staff left us a generous portion of snacks for the road. Taking the bus into Canterbury was highly convenient.
