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 room was beautifully fitted out and very comfortable with everything you could need including fresh milk and a cafetiere and ground coffee to make proper coffee. The breakfast was lovely too - very generous with quality ingredients. We recommend this for an overnight stay. It was perfect as a stop on our way back home.

Lovely rooms, the bed was very comfortable and the room had a large en suite with a great power shower. Tea and coffee facilities in the room with extra fresh milk and bottled water in a small fridge in the reception area that you can help yourself to. The menu for both breakfast and daytime/evening meals had lots of choices and the food was cooked to perfection, very generous portions too. Private parking is also available

The accommodation at the Rose and Crown was excellent and could not be faulted. Well-appointed modern rooms with all the right touches; fresh coffee, tea, biscuits and bottled water. Wonderful bathroom and shower and a comfortable bed. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, sampling the fish and chips and home-made Cottage pie with a couple of pints of Butcombe bitter. The breakfast in the morning was also excellent. Staff were friendly and welcoming. This is somewhere I would definitely recommend.

United KingdomMobile data connection is not great which can affect paying taxi by card but there is free WiFi in the property so for personal use the mobile data is not an issue. The mobile data issue is of course not the establishments fault and is due to lack of mast cover I the area.
The Rose & Crown exceeded our expectations in every way including value for money. Excellent breakfast in the morning which set us up for the day to the extent that we did not eat again until dinner in the evening. Very good facilities in the bedrooms with real coffee and complimentary bottled water. The real ale in the bar was also kept in excellent condition. We will definitely book here again if we are going to the Poole area.

United KingdomDoor slammed shut noisily and the bed head banged on the wall when you turned over in bed
Seems to be recently refurbished and the facilities were lovely. They provided extra little touches like a communal fridge with bottles of water and a bottle of milk for tea/coffee with little jugs to take it back to the room. Lovely breakfast.

United KingdomJust the outdoor staircase but I think that was because we are both elderly.
The hotel was staff were very welcoming and helpful as we had come from a hotel that had decided to close that very day. All the rooms are up an outdoor staircase, which my husband found difficult but a very pleasant young man carried all our luggage upstairs for us. Nice clean room with a comfy bed and a gorgeous breakfast. Also in a very quiet location.
