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 KingdomA dog friendly hotel yet didn’t provide beds for dogs or feeding bowls in rooms. The tv was a nightmare to try and use. Nothing was tuned in- Netflix in Spanish . No phone in the room to call reception. A very warm night with no air con and v thick duvets. Not sure it was safe to leave elec fan on all night. Could hear a constant drone noise in bedroom - maybe heating system? These are all minor observations.. still a lovely place.
Sunday roast was excellent - breakfast v good Had a lovely stay- would recommend.

United KingdomNothing to do with the hotel, but tricky place if you don't have a car. You can't exactly walk down the A road to other places. Users do not exist, I advise pre booking Longleys taxis who are exceptional.

United KingdomI guess the only bit is it was when we had dinner there was quite a bit of banging above the restaurant as they are doing up all rooms and thought it was a little late to be doing that but it wasn’t for long and didn’t bother us to much at the end of the day they are making it into a beautiful place to stay in all rooms etc so well done to them
Quaint stylish pub beautiful surroundings stylish comfortable rooms Very lovely staff attention to detail in all aspects Enjoyed it very much good was delicious

United KingdomNothing not to like, in my opinion
We stayed at the pub overnight, with our dogs. We had stayed before, a couple of years ago, but my - what a difference! We were given a newly, beautifully refurbished room (literally just across the road) with an enclosed little garden for the dogs - we were also able to make use of the garden chairs and table to have a smashing ‘just arrived’ coffee. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud, the tea/coffee facilities excellent, and bathrobes too!! And a minibar (not that I made use of it, but would’ve if I’d been there any longer). There is a lovely little bistro table and chairs just outside the front door for you sit on and have a drink too. The pub itself - well the decor is amazing, so inviting and calming. Beautifully done, I really really like the plants, it’s like being outside, but inside -yet not overpowering. Food was excellent, we each had a Chilham burger. I had white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake for dessert (delicious) and my husband the salted caramel ice cream. He found the ice cream a little ‘warm’ (??!!) but still delicious and told this to the lovely young lady (Molly?) who collected our plates - next thing we know she approached us and said she’d mentioned this to chef and it was because it was homemade, and so not full of additives. We didn’t expect the throwaway comment to be taken so seriously, and were really impressed that it was. In fact we were really impressed with the service we received from all the staff whilst there. Polite, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Made us feel so relaxed. And finally, I cannot leave a review without mentioning the dogs. It is a VERY dog friendly pub, and we were given a dog welcome pack - a ball, treats and a couple of poo bags. All dogs welcome, and the resident dogs are absolutely wonderful - so laid back and always up for a fuss. So, safe to say, we will be going back there as soon as we are able and would recommend this place to anyone, with or without dogs.

United KingdomThe only one downfall which let the place down was there was a broken gutter and unfortunately it rained that night so we could hear a tapping as rain built up was hitting the window seal but other than that it was perfect.
I loved the location as it was situated down a quiet backroad just 10min from the town center. The menu was everything we wanted with loads of starters and nibbles which we love and the service was outstanding. A lovely quiet cosy pub/restaurant/hotel which was exactly what we was looking for, for a nice little getaway. Would definitely stay there again if in the area again.
