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...).

United KingdomThe food. Particularly the breakfast. Previously this was never a problem however this time the food quality was disappointing. For example the eggs were undercooked (snotty) even after request was made for sunny side down.
The room and the staff. Clean rooms, good size and facilities. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

United KingdomWe walked from the hotel to Arundel through the woods as recommended by the staff. It was indeed a lovely way to go. However the directions we were given at the hotel were slightly confusing. Can we suggest a specific map for this walk.
Liked the quirkiness of it. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was bright and clean with a lovely view of the countryside. Food was lovely but a couple of times it was slow to arrive.

United KingdomI was glad it was a hot day and ate outside, as the restaurant didn't look very inviting.
Room was a decent size and the interior looked good for a pub hotel. I liked having a bath. I ordered the chicken wings from the restaurant and I have to say they was really nice! crispy and good flavour.

United KingdomBathroom was a little small, only enough space for one person at a time. Shower head although on a hose was attached to the rail which meant that my wife wasn't able to clean as needed. The lighting wasn't suitably positioned to allow makeup to be applied.
Check in was simple and straightforward. Room was a good size, plenty of space to store clothes, suitcase and other bags. Bed was comfortable with a selection of additional pillows. Good stock of Tea and Coffee with plenty of milk cartons. Included breakfast provided plenty of options and was tasty.

United KingdomThere is only 1 thing & 1 thing only, which really does need sorting - Wi-Fi! May seem trivial but there is little to no connection any where, none in the room at all, which normally is not an issue as we all have 4g or 5g nowadays, but there is also little or no mobile data reception in the immediate area. So if you're listening @ The Swan, buy a few wifi boosters/extenders, cheap and have 100% happy guests
Lovely property & stay here, staff were fantastic from arrival to departure from the check in to the bar staff, restaurant and cleaners, all really friendly made us really welcome and our stay really enjoyable. Breakfast is good quality and freshly cooked to order with great choices other than the traditional fry up!, eggs benedict, american pancakes etc along with a basic continental selection, very dog friendly in the tiled part of the bar & restaurant. Restaurant menu is a bit limited but what we had was all superb, on the 3 times we ate there, including the Sunday carvery which is by far one of the best we have had. Perfect location to walk to Arundel in 20-30 minutes, and centrally located for Brighton, Worthing, Wittering, Chichester and many other great places to visit. Will definitely re-book next time we are in the area. Lovely grounds with lots of outside tables and sitting areas and beautifully kept.

NetherlandsWe could have used new towels after a few days as housekeeping kept on folding them up whilst still wet making them smell all mildewy. As i said the pub is nice to have downstairs but every foodtype but the breakfast is hugely overrated and therefore overpriced.
The receptionist was an exceptionally kind lady and the place is really nice, well situated and well kept. The room was spacious and had a lovely view of the downs. The pub is also a great asset for drinks
