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.).

New ZealandWould have been better if we had stayed 2 nights!
Nice quiet room with excellent bathroom and comfy bed. The staff helped us by carrying our suitcase up the stairs. It was good to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Plenty of parking very close to the room.

United KingdomThe light pollution was incredible. Both from the curtains and the glass wall of the bathroom which was a real shame. Also, the walls of the room are so terribly thin I was almost friends with the next door neighbour and her telephone caller by the time she went to breakfast. Such a shame.
Great place, easy to find and free parking. The room was super, well finished, clean and thoughtfully done. Bed was comfy, the linen was clean and Bramley toiletries. Yum. Also very quiet for cars despite being near a road. Beautiful aspect over some lawns and shrubs. Super handy little village shop right there too.

United KingdomNo obvious dislikes and I don't say that often.
Had dinner & breakfast served in the bar of the adjoining pub "dog friendly including a sausage for his breakfast" both were excellent. Good food menu and a decent wine list which didn't have an exorbitant mark up. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Several of the rooms are great if you are travelling with a dog as there is immediate access to outside.

United KingdomThe room we had was fine for a one night stay, but would have felt a bit too small for a longer stay......if staying longer at this fabulous inn, my advice would be to book one of their larger rooms
Evening meal and breakfast were just superb. Rooms were beautifully decorated & clean with a fabulous selection of teas and coffee on the welcome tray. Staff all delightful.

United KingdomMy partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Fox at Willian in Letchworth for two nights, and our stay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even offering an upgraded garden room with a terrace. The room was not only beautifully decorated but also really spacious. The food was nothing short of amazing—we were lucky to be staying on one of their three special mussel evenings which we enjoyed – Thai Green mussels or Chorizo, charred sweetcorn and tomatoes! Definitely exceeded our expectations and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. Breakfast was perfect and served in a quiet and more private area for overnight guests which is a nice touch. We would wholeheartedly recommend The Fox at Willian anyone visiting and look forward to the opportunity to stay again in the future.
