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 KingdomNothing, all was good.
We liked everything! The living accommodation was spacious and airy. The clever design of the kitchen and dining area was very well thought out. The same for the bed rooms. Clearly much thought had been put in to making this a property that would be attractive to so many people. We were very pleased with our warm welcome and the hospitality that was shown to us by Becky. We enjoyed being able to step out into the middle of historic Southwell and pop back easily at will. There were numerous places to visit in Southwell and nearby. These were better accommodated by a stay in Southwell rather than a day trip. In short we loved our stay and would readily stay again.

United KingdomNothing to put here 😃
I booked The Stables last minute for my son and I as we were working nearby and tbh we're getting bored of hotels. Really glad I found this place available. The details to get there and access the property were spot on. The living room and kitchen are on the 1st floor and the space is huge but still felt cozy. The temperature was perfect for the 2 nights so didn't need to look for a thermostat. Glad there was tea, coffee etc as we was a bit under prepared, not forgetting the fresh milk and bottle of water in the fridge. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was really good quality and it was quiet all night. Shower was great. Lots of facilities we didn't need but I will recommend The Stables to anyone who wants to get away for a few days. I can't really comment on Southwell, everything is within a few minutes walk away. We got a kebab on the 1st night and a Chinese in the 2nd night and had a couple of pints in the local pub. Becky did knock on on the 1st night to make sure everything was OK which obviously it was. Oh! and I should mention the complimentary bottle of wine which I consumed and enjoyed 😉! Thank you Becky!

United KingdomVery little. Parking to the whole mews blocked at one point by a builders van, but moved off after 15 minutes. Very central, could be some noise from cars during summer if windows open.
Great character and comfort and very spacious for two with a huge lounge. Hosts claim to aim high and they succeed. Main bedroom very comfortable, great heating, well stocked kitchen, great main bathroom.

United KingdomIt's a shame there isn't a toilet on the first floor (this could be an issue for guests who find stairs challenging), but this would be difficult to achieve without intrusively taking up space.
The location is fantastic: right in the centre but in a back street with an al fresco cafe just along the way. Car parking right opposite in the lane: in fact there is room for two cars as a key to the lockup garage behind the parking space was also made available. The Stables is a quirky building, and all the better for it. There is an exceptionally spacious lounge with two comfortable sofas and lots of light, being on the first floor, adjacent to a roomy and very well equipped kitchen-diner.

United KingdomThe parking area is off a busy main road and is one way in and the same out… single track. On leaving, we found our car had been effectively trapped by what turned out to be a very surly builder. Not the host’s fault of course, but we were completely helpless until such time as he decided to return and the ensuing confrontation did sour what had otherwise been a really nice stay.
What a lovely venue… communication with our host was first class, the property was delightful with all modern facilities in a fabulous traditional setting. A short walk to the beautiful Minster and lots of interesting shops, the like of which have all but disappeared in bigger towns and cities. Having a super big bath as well as a shower was a bonus and the upside down layout of the house was a boon in the heat… the bedrooms were super cool despite the blazing sunshine outside. Excellent!

United KingdomWe have nothing bad to say about the property. A later check out time would be nice, but they clearly state the check out time prior to booking.
Very well presented property, that has been decorated and furnished to a high standard, with charm and character. A nice welcome message and pack was presented in the kitchen upon arrival, and it was a pleasure to stay here. It's in a perfect location in the centre of Southwell, tucked away behind the main street and provided adequate off road parking. We only booked for two nights as we were up Southwell for a family wedding, but we tried to extend our stay for another night as soon as we walked into the property, but unfortunately for us it was already booked out. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay up in Southwell to check The Stables out.
