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 KingdomThe only point that was not comfortable to us, it was the bathroom door lock. It has a Suffolk latch. Although it is in the theme with stables, it makes a lot of noise when used during the night. I wish they would fit something softer/quieter. I suppose it's ok if only one person stays in the room.
Very friendly staff. Amazing location. Great for keen walkers or runners. Beautiful view over the hills and woodlands from the restaurant window. The beds (pillows and mattress) are very comfortable. The towels are fluffy and smell very fresh. The room is very clean. Bed linen is crispy fresh, ironed. Good breakfast with plenty of nice coffee, fresh orange juice, and, of course, cooked food.

United KingdomDecided to choose this accomodation as a base to explore the area. Excellent room and facilities separate from the main property, but only a short walk away for meals. Hosts, Kate & and Buddy were great and looked after us very well. Breakfast and dinner at the Flying Fish were excellent too

United KingdomThe plastic doors to the rooms are annoying. You have to part close them with the key to get them to close, and they just aren’t in keeping with the rest of the place. But, that is a minor quibble as the staff and the rooms generally more than make up for it.
Spotless, very large super king bed, large rooms, every single staff member extremely helpful, friendly and efficient. Order the Caribbean food on the menu if eating here as that is what they specialise in

United KingdomNot much to dislike but shower wasn't great. The shower head was small. Perhaps a curtain and anti slip mat wouldn't go amiss as water splashed into the bathroom and this made the floor slippery and my other half nearly fell over as a result. Also the bathroom fittings were a little discoloured. Again, maybe the fittings and decor were in need of refurbishment.
The Food was excellent. Good quality meats used and cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Location very pleasant with stunning views of the countryside. The accommodation was very spacious, the room cosy and the bed was excellent. Would definitely consider staying again.

United KingdomSlightly remote location. The pub restaurant food was disappointing and rather expensive and loaded with Caribbean dishes. Good choice ciders limited draft beer choices. Table could been cleaner ours was quite sticky.
Room facilities were very good. The breakfast was Full English with buffet juices, fruits, yogurts and bread/toast with choice of teas or coffees.
