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.).

Whether arriving in Shifnal by train or by car, the location couldn't be more convenient. Our bed was super-comfortable and the full English breakfast set us up for the day. The hosts were accommodating, friendly and down to earth. I would definitely stay at the Anvil Lodge again, in fact they might have difficulty persuading me to leave next time!

United KingdomNothing to dislike. Would recommend a stay at this hotel and we plan to return next year for the same show.
The rooms were very large and well appointed, comfortable with a onsite bathroom and shower. Two beds in the room, one was a super king and was so large it needed a sat nav to orientate oneself. The other was a single but plenty of space to move around in the room. The breakfast was exceptional cooked to order with a selection of cereals and fresh orange juice followed by full English breakfast. Being an ex-landlord the host was very friendly with a dry sense of humour and very knowledgeable of the surrounding area. Very good pub next door similar name but not connected and had good atmosphere. We ate out at one of the several restaurants in Shifnal which was 10 mins walk away. No noise was noted from the neighbouring pub when we returned to the room. We only stayed for one night as we were visiting RAF Cosford museum and a model aircraft show at Weston Park. Free parking worked a dream.

United KingdomAggressive and unpleasant host.
I did not stay at the property. I booked it at 6pm as I had to make an emergency trip. At 8.30pm the owner called me and aggressively asked me when I was going to get there. I had said 11 to midnight on the form. He check in was by 10pm and I should have read that on the booking. He said he may be around but couldn't guarantee it. i said I didn't want to be stranded and I could cancel and get a refund. he said he didn't do refunds and the money had been taken. He was unpleasant and hostile and I would not have wanted to stay there so I did not go. I complained to booking who did not refund and nor did he. He claimed that he could have had a booking but at that time of night that was extremely unlikely. Difficult to understand why he is still in the business - he was so unpleasant. There are plenty of other places with more understanding hosts so avoid this one.

United KingdomStaff where extremely ignorant towards the people staying in the hotel. Initially was made to leave the hotel and get changed in the back of the van as there is a no work clothes policy (I didn't notice this when booking as it isn't in the main text/requirements so partly understandable) but to make people get changed outside or in a vehicle is ridiculous, surely they could have been more understanding towards the fact it was a mistake. Wasn't allowed to park the work vehicle (Van) on the car park and was told to "move that thing off my car park"- even though there is free parking and no mention of no work vehicles. The man who checked them in was so rude - again adamant that there was no food or drinks to be consumed in the room (again understandable) but they aren't children water is surely acceptable! As this is a pub, the people staying there went for food and drinks at the pub - they then was accused of STEALING items such as darts from the pub which is absolutely horrific to wrongly accuse 2 people of stealing especially when they are staying at the same pub/hotel!! We was made to feel extremely uncomfortable while staying here. The staff where that rude to the people staying at this hotel they decided that they would come home for the second night. So not only did The Anvil Lodge abuse our staff for the night they also got an extra payment for being so arrogant and rude!!! I would ask for a refund for the second night but is it really worth arguing with such bad mannered horrible people. I hope they feel better about themselves for their behavior on the day of our stay and I really hope they don't treat all their visitors like this !! Absolutely disgusting behavior from the Landlord- will never book this hotel again. DO NOT BOOK FOR WORK PUROPSES.
Food & rooms where ok for one night.
