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 KingdomWe had pre-booked to have an evening meal, which unfortunately fell short of our expectations. Firstly, the bar/restaurant area was uncomfortably cold and whilst dogs were allowed in the communal areas, which I don't object to, I do feel that there should be segregated areas for those wishing not to have dogs near them whilst eating. Once we had ordered our food it took over 40 minutes for the starters to be served, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, and when they were served they were lukewarm at best; serving hot food on cold plates isn't the best. Our main courses, although slightly better, should have been hotter. When it came to deserts, all that was on offer was ice cream, not ideal when we you are sitting in a very cold room; at least the coffee was hot. Breakfast the next morning was also a disappointment. Although the scrambled eggs were well made, serving them on a chunk of toasted sourdough that was so hard it was difficult to cut/eat, whilst also the bacon was well overdone/burnt, although some may simply say it was "over crispy".
All the staff we met were both very welcoming and polite. Our room was comfortable with a magnificent view over the fields behind the inn, which made for a very relaxing stay.

United KingdomThe fire smoked, obviously an ongoing issue as soot all around the fire place, but could even smell it in our room when it had been lit again the following morning. All my clothes and hair smelt like id been sat next to an outdoor firepit. Shame as my only negative about our stay.
Nice welcoming ‘pub’, clean modern room. Lovely food, good coffee. Quiet at night.

Breakfast was OK. Very nice it wasn't a buffet, but served by a nice girl. Diner was very good and we drank very good wines.

The food ordered for dinner and breakfast was excellent over 2 days. Ideally situated for visiting the Chilterns area for walking and visiting the variety of places in the area. The Autumnal weather when sun shone was brilliant under the beech tree canopies.

Perfect countryside location in beautiful Chilterns. Very English. Breakfast was superb. One downside was the bathroom was a little cramped and the shower was blocked. Notwithstanding this, lovely place to enjoy English country life.

United Kingdom- Vegetarian options on a Sunday could be better - Rooms were warm It is worth noting that the staff were aware of both of these possible improvements and did everything they could to address It at the time. Our vegetarian guest was given a very nice lunch, and windows in all rooms were opened well in advance of our arrival.
- Exceptionally helpful staff - Beautiful setting - One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve eaten - Comfortable beds - Clean and tidy property
