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 Kingdomnot a huge amount of space to put anything in the bedroom. The table was very busy with complimentary Gin & Coffee (NOT a bad point), which made space limited for anything else. Honestly, not much else to fault really.
Offer a cracking breakfast. Restaurant serves up a phenomenal dinner where service is prompt and efficient without. Alex and Tquila behind the bar are exceptional, will make you feel right at home! Excellent wine selection! Bedrooms are quaint, well appointment and beautifully decorated.

We were very lucky to get a superb value for money room. It was warm, lovely sheets/towels, wifi good, lighting was great. The shower was super and a great breakfast! The staff were super friendly. We would come again!

United KingdomSeriously.. this one is hard to answer, ..wasn't keen on the black pudding at breakfast, this doesn't affect 10/10 score 👍
Staff go above and beyond to accommodate anything you need, so helpful and nice, including the gentleman who cleaned my room. Took my dog for the two night stay, the room was lovely, the bar is nice, the food was nice. Good location base to explore the area, 30 mins to Oxford, enjoyed some beautiful local walks.

United KingdomBathroom could do with a tidy up (mould on ceiling and limescale on shower head and connector.) Not very appealing to want to have a shower. Staff, although helpful when asked just didn’t seem to be that enthusiastic!
Constantly informed with messages of information after booking and made to feel nothing was too much trouble. Location and decor was very nice, early room availability was a bonus along with ample parking and a lovely breakfast!

United KingdomFor one night the room was perfect, any more would be too small. There was a decanter in the room with some complimentary gin in it - dried out in the base, could have been there for six months. There was no Guinness, no Sauvignon Blanc and no trio of lamb :-(
Bathroom beautiful, room decorated lovely. Breakfast incredible :-)

United KingdomFood can be a bit hit and miss as we’ve stayed before when it was good, when we got to the bar there were glasses on every table and staff were blasé about it and stood at the bar being completely ignored for quite some time!!

United KingdomThere was little to complain about. Minor points: we could hear some noise from the neighbouring room, breakfast service was not quite as good on our second morning: coffee not hot enough, some missing items in the buffet. We didn’t like our restaurant bill having a 12.5% service charge added. The service was excellent but the choice of how much to add should be at the client‘s discretion. On querying the amount we were told it could be removed but that would have left us feeling mean!
We enjoyed the breakfast choices; the food was lovely. Our room was beautifully decorated and furnished and very comfortable. The sloe gin was a nice and unexpected welcome. We ate in the restaurant on our first night. The food and service were outstanding.

United KingdomThe closeness to the road is a bit much. I had booked a room far from The road after reading the reviews of previous guests, but they were initally taking us to a room facing the street until we kindly asked for a different room because I had explicitly said I didn’t want to be close to the road. We were taken to a room close to the road but not facing it so maybe those are the rooms that we needed to be in..
We loved how clean and modern everything was. How close it is to Highclere Castle and the amazing breakfast spread.
