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):
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 KingdomHate to say it,but in places, it's a little tired. Having said that, it's a country pub, so we could live with that! :)
Location is brilliant, looking over the village green. The staff are lovely, so helpful and friendly. The beer garden was so peaceful and quiet; which,after a long drive, was heaven sent.The food was excellent, especially the breakfast!! A proper country pub which is at the centre of the community. Everyone said " hello", we loved it.

A spacious room and bathroom with oodles of olde world charm. The staff were lovely and friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The breakfasts were delicious and the bed very comfortable.

United KingdomOur bed was not particularly comfortable but fine for one night. The water pressure is very low and we struggled to get washed as a consequence.
The location is great - opposite a cricket green and in a semi-rural setting. The food is also very good for pub grub.

United KingdomHad a great stay at The Flying Horse; a traditional British village pub with rooms overlooking the cricket green. Everyone I met whom worked here was friendly & helpful and the room was perfect for a comfortable & restorative stay while walking along the North Downs Way. I stayed on on a Friday night so it was lively & buzzy in the bar and there was a good & extensive menu of home-cooked pub-grub. Will not hesitate to stay here again if I am in the parts - thankyou!

United KingdomThis is not the place to come if you want somewhere quiet to relax in the countryside. The pub needs to invest in much better sound insulation. The walls and floors are thin, and the windows are old and ill-fitting. Maybe other rooms are better, but tvs and normal conversation levels could be heard clearly until 11.30. Disappointed.
Friendly staff, easy check-in, and great food. Excellent vegetarian menu and delicious breakfast.
