How guest reviews work
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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Outdoor space by rooms could be better kept and made to feel more welcoming. More attention needed to maintain bathroom walls. Spill marks up them so looks unclean. Additionally in pub itself for food, seating could be recovered. Shows a great deal of wear and tear so not a great impression.
Staff overall great. Lady serving at breakfast was really friendly and helpful. Room comfortable, had the facilities we needed for a decent price

I didn't like that I couldn't take a shower. I am disabled and unable to climb into baths to wash under an overhead shower.
Breakfast was OK. Dinner the night before wasn't so good. Steaks were overdone and gristly.The tables needed more than a quick wipe with a damp cloth as they were sticky.

The property was very clean and airy. The bed was so comfortable, slept like a baby. It had a huge tv with as many channels to watch as you want. The bathroom was exceptionally clean. It had all the facilities I needed, iron, ironing board, hair dryer, fan, etc. The staff were very friendly, pleasant and helpful. Such a wonderful stay, will definitely visit again

The location was good for us as we were visiting a friend in the area. We particularly liked the layout of the rooms surrounding the courtyard it was very tranquil. The staff were so obliging and made us very welcome. We ate in the pub and enjoyed it very much. The parking was good also. On the whole we had a very enjoyable stay and will return again.

Bathroom extractor was really noisy and the bathroom got very steamed up. Breakfast toaster was very temperamental and either did not toast or burnt it.
Staff were really helpful. Room was nice. Breakfast was plentiful.

Healthy options for breakfast such as fresh fruits and low fat natural yogurt. There was also no wholemeal bread on offer.
The cooked breakfast was good but the selection of "continental" items was very limited, maybe because we were the first people in.

Breakfast was a little small for someone with my appetite. Was told by the fantastic staff to just ask for a bigger portion . So next time we will do that 👍
The rooms were spacious ,clean ,great facilities and an added bonus of plugs by the bed and usb ports . The bed was very comfortable and slept well. Also an excellent shower .

Cold cooked breakfast both mornings. Looked good but sausages defo undercooked looked anemic. Lol. Rest was good just not hot enough. Cutlery needed wiped and huge chip in mug. Can't say didn't like..was just unexpected...rooms are outside round a courtyard and doors have large step up into. Very difficult if you are elderly or use a stick or can't lift foot high. Tho they have accessible rooms too but mind ask for one...make it clear. Take a brolly!! Lol.
Staff are really friendly and helpful. Short dark hair lady at breakfast really welcoming. Long black hair lady on reception on Monday 4th march morning was very helpful and chatty. Download greene king app for discount. Bar busy so good atmosphere lot families. Rooms have all you need , soaps, towels, kettle, iron and cleaned daily to a good standard. Would return no prob.
