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 KingdomWasn't an issue but breakfast is not available. Im sure food can be picked up locally. All in all - no complaints.
Stayed in the hotel / pub because it was so old and looked great. Room was large and the bed was very comfortable. I booked one night and really enjoyed it. Plan a return visit and stay for longer. Really cool too. Food available in the evening in pub downstairs. I have stayed in pubs before and the noise has been a nightmare. Its unreasonable to expect no noise from a pub - I certainly had no concerns with noise during my stay. I was also able to leave my bag for a few hours - really important for travellers using public transport and wanting to explore without lugging bags everywhere.

United KingdomAs you would expect with a old property it has many creaks and unleveled floors the stairs to downstairs are quite steep so just be mindful of that.
It’s the second time we have stayed here. The wooden beams throughout are enchanting. The building really is beautiful it’s quite a wonderful thing to have it still standing after all this time. We stayed in the room where the old crown sign protrudes put on the front and it was to be able to sit on the bench and drink our morning coffee and watch the world go by. We will for sure be back we love this place.

United KingdomMy room was baking hot and there was no AC. The window could not stay open because the fitting is long term broken/removed. My room stank like the inside of Domino's on the first night because it was above the kitchen! The noise from two inconsiderate drunken girls in the next room (No2) was intolerable but this isn't the hotel's fault. A filthy hand towel was in one of the bathrooms for both of the days I was there. I seemed to be invisible while waiting at the bar downstairs until I had to be borderline rude to get noticed/served - although I get this problem in a lot of places!
I assume this place was once a traditional coaching inn from horsedrawn transport days. It's pretty well as you'd expect for a room above a pub with live events and late hours! Tea making facilities in the room. Refurbished shared bathrooms. The bed was comfortable. There was a sink in the room. The Northern Soul event downstairs was fun.
