Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Very warm and accommodating hosts! Nothing was too much trouble and they have recommendations for the surrounding area. Bed was comfy. Food was outstanding, particularly the breakfast! Mostly locally sourced and a fantastic garden to enjoy some wine from local vineyards. Lots of amenities in the room (coffee machine, small fridge, anything you would need for a short stay) Powerful shower and all toiletries supplied.

United KingdomAnnoyingly the cab that picked us up took us to the wrong place for the start of our day 2 walk which added a hefty amount to the fare. It was a miscommunication that can happen.
Great location for breaking up our weekend walking the South Downs way. All the staff were great. We ordered dinner and it was exceptional. Really gutted that we had to get back on the trail before breakfast was served as I'd read great things about it from other reviews. We were offered a bacon sarnie, which was a nice touch. That said, missing the full breakfast gives us a good excuse to visit again in the future.

The staff went out of their way, and as we had to leave early, they prepared bacon baps to take with us. They went above and beyond for us , and such a good very comfortable room with a huge bathroom

United KingdomFriendly staff, clean room, excellent food, including breakfast. Good choice of gluten free options. Pub is situated in a quiet village with lovely views of the Downs and with lots of footpaths for day walks right from the door. Near West Dean Gardens, Singleton Open Air Museum and Goodwood.

United KingdomBreakfast was not available early enough for me but landlord did organise a prepacked sandwich so I could get away early without starving! Not anything to do with the pub, but mobile phone signal at the location was useless, virtually zero on Three and very weak on O2. WiFi worked fine as an alternative once in the building.
Very welcoming traditional pub with excellent menu in the restaurant. Comfortable bed and large bath with perfect plumbing, which is not always what you get in older English pub accommodation. If you want the feel of a South Downs village, this would be a great place to stay.
