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 inn/hotel is in the little village of Damerham which is about three miles from Fordingbridge. We had no trouble finding it and parked in the large parking area. I had booked one of the cheaper rooms because we just needed a place to crash for the night, but our room was quite spacious and the bathroom had a really good shower - excellent pressure and no leaks to worry about. Breakfast was very nice and larger than I was expecting (the full English with two eggs almost beat me) and the staff were attentive and very helpful. My wife really liked it here (always a major plus) and we will no doubt be staying here again when we are in the area. Unfortunately, we had dismal rainy weather during our stay, but stayed cosy and still appreciated the lovely setting. We didn't have our dogs with us this time around but apparently the rooms are all dog-friendly (another major plus).

United KingdomThe pub is a bit tired around the edges and this was reflected across the building. It was generally quite cold unless you managed to snag a seat by the fire. Notwithstanding this, our rooms were clean and comfortable
The food offering was outstanding. It has a nepalese gurka menu and the food was delicious. The breakfast was also very good. Staff were fantastic

United KingdomThe radiator in the bathroom did not work, it was broken, I think this should have been checked before letting, as a very cold day, too and it was not busy, but did try to repair but needed a plumber, hence bought us another cover for bed, very obliging.
Friendly, comfortable, and good menu for lunch/evening meal, do not have to go out looking for restaurants etc

United KingdomBathroom needs a refresh.
We stayed at The Compasses for a 60th birthday party celebration. It was an ideal venue. Our room number 6, was a fair size, very clean and it had a very comfortable bed. Also tea and coffee facilities & biscuits. There was a hairdryer and shampoo, conditioner and shower gel for us to use. I would say the bathroom needs a refresh although the shower was piping hot and plenty of water pressure. All the staff were happy and very attentive, the food was excellent both in the evening and at breakfast. Service was slow but we didn’t mind that as we were catching up with friends. All in all a very enjoyable stay and we would return.

United KingdomJust minor things The shower /bathroom could do with an overhaul and regrout . The village is a few miles from fordingbridge so need a car . Not really anywhere to go for a long walk . Overall though we had a great relaxing stay and the place was very good value for money .
All the Staff were very welcoming ,helpful and friendly. Food was great especially the Nepalese dinner we had one night. Comfortable room and very dog friendly which is always a bonus for us when travelling . (Plus the field to the side was handy for dog walking). We really enjoyed our stay .

United KingdomBreakfast could have been alot better organised, quite erratic with cooked breakfast coming out with cereal at same time on first morning. No yogurts so bought my own and put in their fridge. Would have been alot easier if some of the food/drink had been laid out on big table and you helped yourself.
Room was ok and had everything you needed. Christmas Day dinner was lovely and well organised. Staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to please
