Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Good to have: Fresh hot breakfast as opposed to what is provided in the room fridge.
Location: In walking distance from Milton Park. Quiet but friendly atmosphere and warm/welcoming staff. Food is great at the pub. An iron box and board would be a great addition to the room.

The room is very expensive for what it is. £117 for a room in a pub and for what you get this is very high. I would see this as a £75 room as you do get breakfast included.
Beautiful pub. Great location, and great food. Breakfast is supplied in you room and is more than enough, continental style breakfast. Easy to get to Milton Park if you are working there.

We would have really enjoyed having breakfast with our friends. We get together every year for a break so quality time is important.

The fan in the room was fairly hopeless against the unfortunate 30+ degree heat, so could maybe do with an upgrade - but this is a minor thing for such a great stay.
Room was absolutely spotless. Every day the breakfast goods are restocked along with clean bedsheets and towels. As a bonus there was a folk music session in the pub below on our last night - quiet enough that it couldn't be heard in the room but wonderful to listen to them downstairs! It's obvious a lot of time and care is put into the place. We'd definitely return in future.

Breakfast was not great. I choose plain yoghurt, not flavoured. Cereal choice too high in sugar. Meat choice unable to open. Evening meal and menu choices excellent. Service exemplary. A very friendly place, making an ideal stopover between Harrogate and Poole.

We were very pleased with our overnight stay. Nothing to the contrary.
The welcome was very friendly. We were able to park right outside. We bought a drink, watched England's quarter final game! When we were ready we were shown to our room, given our key and settled in. The room was very comfortable with high quality bed linen and towels. The shower room and toilet was of a high standard. Tea and coffee making facilities and a complimentary continental breakfast was pleasantly acceptable. We ordered and ate dinner whilst chatting to other patrons. As it was to be a relaxing weekend we remained in the bar until late and it was a short climb to our comfortable room! Given the occasion to be in that area again we shall certainly stay at the Plum Pudding Inn again.
