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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomThere is nothing to dislike!
The room was modern, spacious and very comfortable. I particularly liked the repurposing of vintage items, for example a vintage bread bin as the waste bin. The room had a large wet room with a powerful shower and fluffy towels big enough to wrap yourself in. The staff were welcoming and very friendly and the breakfast was excellent. I also ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was so good that I have booked to eat here again

United KingdomThe drinks prices were high and the food was pricey, however, the quality of the main course and dessert was well worth the money as both were delicious.
Staff were friendly and welcoming without exception. The Inn is gorgeous and homely and the room was spacious whilst still being cosey with an amazing, super-comfortable bed.

United KingdomNot sure there’s anything we would improve on, we loved our stay. Perhaps only to have slightly later bar access as residents, last orders before 10pm, appreciate it was a quiet time of year (Jan) but was at a weekend.
Beautiful pub with rooms, full of character and interesting decor. Exceptional food and friendly staff. This was a great choice for a family occasion, we were able to relax by the fire, great bar selection, delicious evening meal and we all very much enjoyed breakfast!

United KingdomPillows extremely thin, a bit sac of potatoes-y, bed too soft and springy for our taste and sofa bed has lumpy 3 noticeable parts, pokes in the back. Found previous guest scrunchie poking from underneath the bed, bathtub could use a bit of refreshing, windows need a bit of mold removing and struggling with slow TV and unstable remote control. But overall magical positive experience that overshadows it all! Thank you for having us.
Beautiful inn, lovely attentive staff, unique yummy food, stunning draft beers, quiet and specious room. Lots of character! Magical setting, fire places and rooms above inn, smell like a fresh spa. Gorgeous storing space and very useful radiator. Also fresh pastries, straight from the kitchen! And lots of thought was put in details, from food to rooms. Making the beds daily, while you're still in breakfast. Felt like there're fairies in the building :)

SwitzerlandThe wood fire wasn’t working properly which was disappointing as the dining room lacked warmth and atmosphere as a result. Ps: living in Europe has made me very spoilt with regard to efficient underfloor heating so I’m always cold in England when I visit.
Everything! The room was well decorated, cosy and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was possibly one of the tastiest I have had in recent years and the meal we had in your restaurant was equally good. I found the staff to be incredibly helpful and friendly & would highly recommend your establishment.

United KingdomOur wet room shower was leaking and the floor was wet. Staff gave us towels and a bucket into which the shower dripped. (There were two opposite end showers). We were told plumber would be called to attend next day. Heated towel rail wasn’t warm so bathroom felt chilly. No shelves to place wash bags or toiletry items.
