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 KingdomA lock needs to be put on the bathroom door of room 5
Room is good size with good parking right outside. Cooked breakfast with toast and orange juice was very nice. Location is ideal right in the town centre.

United KingdomThe room could do with sprucing up a bit. Faulty shower, big stain on the carpet, non operational skylight blinds and main radiator. Marstons could do with spending some money on the accommodation. Parking a bit hit and miss.
The breakfasts were excellent as was the bar and very clean. Friendly staff.

United KingdomThe patrons smoking outside the back door were very noisy until late on both nights. As this is 10 feet from the rooms, which are in the old stable block, this is not good if you have kids, or need an early start tomorrow.
The meals were good, not the best I've ever had,but certainly not the worst by a long way. The room was a little tired, but clean, just need some TLC and upgrading. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.

United KingdomThe room we stayed was adjacent to the hotel which made it a little quirky to what was expected. Staff were very friendly and saw to us immediately and made us feel welcome. The rooms even though opposite one of the smaller pub entrances, were very quiet with and had no trouble with noises at night. Beds were soft but comfy and warm. The cooked breakfast was good and any changes needed were seen to.

United KingdomThe pub was busy in the evening, some people may not like this, however we enjoyed the atmosphere.
It is more of a pub, with rooms in the old stabling block. The staff were friendly, only the chef available at breakfast, he cooked and served a great breakfast. The rooms were very quite, we expected them to be noisy,as they were next to the car park, but we did not hear any noisy from traffic or the pub.

United KingdomNot a lot. Maybe a larger range of real ales!
The rooms were separated from the main building which was a pub. The whole stay was laid-back and entirely suitable for a nice rest. The town is just around the corner and quite interesting. As a bonus the WiFi was fast and solid, a first for me!
