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 KingdomNo negatives to speak of.
Welcoming, warm, clean quality fixtures and fittings. All the little extras made a difference. Breakfast was excellent. Not an overfilled plate, which always puts me off. Just right size. Veg option was first time my husband commented that the sausage was tasty and cooked properly. I had fruit and yogurt. selection was good. very tasty. Jodie was the young lady who met us last night and was serving breakfast the next day. very pleasant and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much. Very well run hotel. Will be back, it’s a little gem.

United KingdomWishes we could have stayed longer!
A very cosy room in this very old building. Whilst a small room it was very comfortable with a nice bed. The food at this establishment is just superb. The evening menu is just full of tempting dishes prepared by a very good chef. We are already looking to return even though it is a distance away from West Sussex

AWESOME. The young people running this place are amazing. The food was amazing. The locals are very friendly. I cannot speak highly enough of this place. From the young birthday girl, her brother, and even the singing chef. Thank God he can cook better than he sings. I would go back to this place any day of the week. I only gave it ten out of ten because I could not find eleven.

Even though they weren’t serving dinner as it was a Sunday evening, they promptly brought plates and cutlery to the room for us to eat our picnic food with. we would definitely stay again if breaking the journey home from Scotland.

Really nice pub, comfortable room. Great that it had local beers. Friendly locals. There is only the pub in the hamlet but that really suited me. But there are places to eat nearby.

I booked a family suite and got a stunning 4 bed apartment with large bathroom a kitchen area,sofa and 4 seater dining table - the room was clean and very comfortable we payed £140 for it and felt We’d got an absolute bargain. The restaurant was fully booked, but they took our order and delivered it to the room also delivering a drinks order - they went above and beyond. The food was honestly amazing 👌 We had 4 main courses a bottle of red, 4 pints, 6 mojitos and 4 packets of crisps which came to £128 which I thought was very fair. String of horses is an exceptional place with a great atmosphere excellent facilities and staff and definitely a 10/10 from us
