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.).

Breakfast in a bag suited us as we were leaving early to go to the Great Yorkshire show, only 25 mi s away. Restaurant closed as it was Tuesday. Found a great fish and chip shop in Ripon - only 3 miles away All good 👍

United KingdomWhile we were there it was hot weather and the room would have benefitted from something as simple as a fan. The breakfast was provided in the room and was adequate but limited. Unfortunately, the pub itself is closed on Monday & Tuesday which we didn't see until after we had booked. This was disappointing as it looked lovely and we would have liked to eat an evening meal and a few drinks without having to drive to another location.
Beautiful, quiet location in a quaint village surrounded by lovely countryside. Lovely, circular walk following a public footpath along a track and then through fields. The room was lovely, with hot and cold drinks provided. A spacious bathroom with large shower, soft towels and toiletries provided. Although the room was compact it was comfortable and had everything carefully thought out to make best use of the space for a short stay.

United KingdomStayed one night. Really friendly staff, lovely pub, good meal, comfortable room, peaceful location, large car park. Modern, comfortable en-suite room with spacious shower that worked very well. Whoever designed the room actually put some thought into it. Unlike lots of very expensive hotels, we even had coat hangers in the bedroom and hooks in the bathroom! Spotlessly clean (apart from the bathroom extractor vent).

United KingdomObvious with it being a pub, pub quiz from 9pm was so loud below... why are tannoy systems indoors so loud? It's not an outdoor gig, just turn it down a little. Had no choice but to wait til midnight before could go to sleep. "breakfast" was stingy: muffin, little biscuits and a Granny Smiths apple. Just don't pretend it's a 'breakfast'.
clean room, nice decor, comfy. Lovely little village

Nice convenient location, ideal base for touring. Clean, quiet and warm room, lovely shower. Nice food and drink in the downstairs bar, very friendly and welcoming staff. Cooked breakfast is not provided, but sufficient items are provided each day in the room enabling us to have a quick snack. Great location in a pretty village. The pub bar (& food) is currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Not a problem as we found adequate places nearby, adding variety to our visit. Well recommended.

United KingdomWe were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at this pretty little village. The staff at the masons Arms were very friendly and welcoming. They showed us to our room, which was clean, modern and had everything you could wish for. Tea, coffee, buiscuts etc. A spacious en suite, toiletries, hairdryer etc. We then went downstairs to the bar, booked our evening meal, had a drink followed by a pleasant walk around the village. Later that evening we were treated to some really good food (compliments to the chef) and drink (which was also reasonably priced). The bed was so comfortable and I had the best night's sleep I've had in a long time. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay, and for making us feel so welcome.
