Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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 only negative bits were the staircase and corridor to the bedrooms is a bit run down but everything else was amazing.
Great things - The staff are so friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you. They are really working so hard on the inn to make it a great place to eat and to stay at. The food is excellent (breakfast & evening meal). The evening menu is quite pricey at a first glance but honestly the most tastiest meal and you get lots of it so definitely worth the price and more! The front entrance and dining room are pleasant looking, well kept and clean. Little extra touches such as mints and sweets on the desk. The room was big, clean and had everything you need, including little extras such as an additional plug in heater and hairdryer. The back bar area is a typical back room of a pub, we had fun playing pool each evening. It's fab and great value.

United KingdomOther than previously mentioned modernisation (but this didn't really bother me), I would say that road facing rooms can get a little noisy, especially if you have a window cracked open. I don't think anything can really be done about this unfortunately though.
The first thing to say is that the staff are extremely hospitable, friendly and down to earth and this creates a really nice atmosphere at the hotel. The food is also very good, the breakfast set up is excellent, and the dinner menu that we experienced (only the bar menu) was hearty, tasty and well portioned, if a little limited- though I think there is a restaurant menu we never saw. The rooms in the hotel, and parts of the hotel itself are little bit tired and might benefit from a little modernisation but this is well in keeping with the price and doesn't really detract from the experience.
