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 KingdomJust one tiny Even Better If.... It would be good if the bathroom had hooks or a rail to hang towels on, but otherwise faultless!
The rooms were spotless and seemed to have been recently renovated - the decor had a light, fresh feeling. The staff were very friendly and explained how everything worked, even though the pub itself was going to be closed that evening. The location was very quiet (even more so as the pub was closed!) We liked the arrangements for the continental breakfast, too; the room had a mini fridge with everything you could need for breakfast including fresh milk (not UHT!) This meant that we could have breakfast in the room as and when we wanted to. The Nespresso machine was a lovely extra touch too. Perfect!

United KingdomNothing not to like, one consequence of the beer festival was the usual excellent menu was curtailed to cope with the greater numbers and higher turnover of space needed
We do like this place, well situated just off ring road, an appealing village nearly swallowed up by a retail park. Traditional pub with excellent ale and continental style breakfast to eat when you want. This time,totally unplanned, we found a beer festival on too with a live band. In fact we so enjoy this place that we detour to stop here as this year was not really on our route

United KingdomWe liked everything about the Plum Pudding
The Plum Pudding is a lovely pub in a quiet location with easy access into Abingdon and Oxford by the local bus. Our room was comfortable, cosy and had everything you needed for your stay. The food in the bar was delicious, the staff were very attentive and polite. Would highly recommend. Parking wasn’t an issue we left our car there all weekend and used the bus.

United KingdomWe had a key to get in via a side door if we returned after the pub had closed. We were told the lock "is a bit fiddly". We DID return after the pub had closed and it took several minutes of fiddling to open the door. During this time I called the phone number on the booking confirmation which went unanswered. We did mange to open the door after some more fiddling but it's not ideal. I would strongly recommend that if guests think they will be returning to the property late, that they give the side door lock a trial run beforehand.
An unusual mix of old and new. Superb shower. Spacious room with all of the usual facilities. Comfortable bed. Rural village location. Quiet - once the pub closed. Good pub food. Large range of beers.
