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 double room was a good size and although not shiek, was nicely decorated, comfortable and very clean. The bar and restaurant areas were Ye Ole' pub in decor, warmth, and furnishings appropriate. Cosy. Our breakfasts were near perfect and the staff readily accepted fried egg was well overcooked and this portion of the breakfast was quickly replaced with the most perfectly cooked one.

United KingdomIt was only a double bed (apparently upstairs have Kings but the room we were in is too narrow for one). It was comfortable but when you’re used to a King, it was quite cramped. The breakfast was very good but the evening meal wasn’t great. Because of the proximity of the other diners, we didn’t want to make a fuss. Pretty tasteless and overcooked.
Lovely, chalet (motel) style rooms separate to the actual pub. Beautifully clean and our room had a separate dressing room as well as a bedroom with sitting area and separate bathroom. All little extras including toiletries (not body lotion - just so you know to take your own), kettle, bottled water, teas/coffee, biscuits, tissues. Friendly owners and team.

United KingdomThe landlord and landlady , and the food. Great breakfast and dinner, lovely room , open fires great place.
It was a great place to stay. We were there on new years eve. Great meal. But every body left at about 10pm. So we did not see the new year in the bar. But in our room. I did feel sorry for the landlord and landlady. They were very nice people. But I think that is the way the world is at the moment. But I do recommend the white horse.

United KingdomAtmosphere of the pub - a proper country pub. Excellent food and beers ( kept well). Comfy, well appointed rooms in a quiet location.
The venue was everything We expected. Comfy, cosy rooms. Very quiet. Excellent evening meal and very good choice for breakfast. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. It so happened that we had stayed here in 2012 so obviously there was something at the back of my mind that I’d made a good decision before I booked!
