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 downstairs room was smaller than expected.
I had booked two rooms. one for my brother and one for myself. The rooms were very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were friendly. The food at The Horse was exceptional. The bathroom in the superior room was huge with a lovely power shower.

United KingdomDamp patch on ceiling needed painting over, flooring was lifting away in the bathroom and there were a few cleanliness issues in the bathroom as well, there was some mould /mildew in the shower and the shelf above the sink wasn’t clean. The bed frame stuck out a bit and I caught my leg a few times walking past this and the chair. The pillows were a bit lumpy. These issues wouldn’t put me off staying again however.
Location, price and the food at the Pub and the staff were very polite and helpful.

United KingdomThe pillows were not quite the same standard as the mattress, although I am being probably being picky. It is a little further out from Loughborough than our previous stays (visiting our daughter at the university), so she could not get out to us without a car.
Room was well-appointed - really comfortable bed, TV was easy to use and the coffee machine was a nice touch. Shower was excellent - powerful, hot and a choice of hand-held or 'rainfall'. The pub provided a nice environment to have a drink before/after going out for the evening. The room was far enough from the pub to avoid any noise.

United KingdomVery minor and it wouldn’t put me off, but if your staying in one of the ground floor rooms you can here people walking around in the rooms above as the floors are timber. Bit of creaking but that is the only minor fault I can find. Loved the stay overall.
Lovely property and staff. Very friendly. Breakfasts are incredible.

United KingdomNot really a dislike but just for info to other travellers that orders were taken for dinner at the pub until 8pm, so worth phoning ahead or finding an alternative option if you are going to be arriving later than 8pm.
Comfortable accommodation situated in the grounds of the pub - far enough away not to be disturbed by noise, close enough to enjoy their great food. Excellent breakfast and really friendly staff. We had a great stay.
