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.).

It was very close to alton towers. It was very clean and the staff were very kind. The accommodation we had was outside in its own building, which was very nice. Its a lovely old fashioned pub with lovely food.

United KingdomUnderstanding the building is old fashion, but rooms could be better sound proofed. Going to bed heard every conversation in the bar area until it was shut, I believe we were right above it.
Great atmosphere, lovely people running the place, tasty meals. Alton Towers under 10min drive.

United KingdomI really can’t think of anything we didn’t like.
We stayed in one of the outside brick chalets, and spent the evenings in the Inn bar and it was all very pleasant. The Inn itself is full of the charm you would expect, from it’s location in the rolling hills, and both Margaret, the landlady, and the staff were lovely and charming too. Nothing was too much trouble. We intend to return at a future date.

United KingdomLovely little pub and chalets incredibly close to Alton Towers (not even a 10 min drive). There's an Asda 5 minutes away and the food in the pub is really lovely - both me and my husband recommend the lasagne. The breakfast is great - a choice of cereals with alternative milk before tucking into a full English breakfast. Ample free parking, chalets were clean, warm with linen provided. The staff were absolutely lovely and we had some great chats at the bar and my daughter's dairy allergy was well catered for. Very child friendly. I'd definitely stay here again!

United KingdomOnly point to mention is that the accommodation is a little dated & could do with a revamp. It all just depends on how fussy & high maintenance you are! We really enjoyed it. It was clean, the bar/ food really reasonable& and we were made to feel really welcome.
Very friendly, helpful & welcoming . Great location for Alton Towers, too, which was ideal for what we wanted. We would recommend and stay again

Gorgeous traditional pub, real fire and a round pool table! Very unique. Food - good selection, pub style, even my fussy 12yr old ate dinner and breakfast each day! Rooms- clean, cosy comfortable beds. Free car parking.

We were looking for a low cost place to stay that allowed us access to hikes and Alton Towers. The room was comfortable and clean. Good shower and bed. The landlord was accommodating and offered to drive us to Alton Towers. Had a very nice meal on our last day. A very nice stay.
