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 KingdomThe only thing if we have to put something - Our room was situated above the dish wash area in the hotel so was a bit noisy late evening but that was really it - nothing else wrong
Friendly and very helpful staff, one lad from the kitchen helped me with my bags up the steep stairs to our room on arrival which was much appreciated. The room was excellent with nice touches and the breakfast was first class. Rob and his team are so professional but still personable.

United KingdomBreakfast is much too late. We have stayed here twice and have yet to find out about the breakfast. The chef doesn’t turn up until 8.30 am and you cannot order breakfast earlier than that. We were told that if we couldn’t make breakfast that we could order a sandwich lunch instead, but again it couldn’t be ordered until 8.30 in the morning. There was no guarantee that we would receive the food before we needed to leave. The person on reception told us that someone just wanted toast for breakfast and it hadn’t arrived by 9 am when they had to go.
It’s in the middle of the New Forest with easy walks on the doorstep. Lovely evening food and garden.

United KingdomRoom and bathroom are modern and very neat, but no shelf at all in bathroom and none in shower to place shampoo or any other product in shower cabinet. However, an excellent choice for the night.
Service and range at breakfast was excellent, Location was beautiful. Room had been modernised to high standard. We visited the lovely Exbury Gardens then spent the night at the hotel before a cruise leaving Southampton the next day.

Good location; very reasonably priced; friendly and helpful staff - just the job for a base for walking in the area. They've invested a lot to make it comfortable. Food is good pub food - and service excellent.

United KingdomThe only reason I took 2 stars off was a creaking door and my bed in a twin bedroom. This bed didn't let me sleep at all.
It is a stunning, well maintained and authentic place located in a beautiful village. Very friendly staff. We actually booked all 4 rooms but they had some problems with pipes and 2 rooms were unavailable. I really like how they solved the problem. We also had dinner and breakfast in this pub and the quality of food was excellent.
