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 arrived at 8:40pm because we were delayed due to the M1 being closed by an accident, and when we checked in the kitchen had stopped serving. We were really hungry but nothing else was open nearby. However we found that the sports bar right next door had just stopped serving as well, but they very kindly switched their equipment back on and made us all a meal. So they got our food and drinks orders until closing time.
Nothing to complain about, for £60 a night for a double room, ensuite including breakfast, it's a no brainer.

United KingdomWith temps in 20's a thick duvet wasn't necessary, no immediate alternative. Popular pub venue, but quiet after 10.30p.m.
Simple check-in and out. Friendly staff. Reasonably broad menu, more pub rather than gastro. Room clean and as advertised.

United KingdomMaybe the fact that the kitchen was closing early (1800ish in the evening is early to me). I'm just wondering what would have happened if I had turned up after the kitchen had closed. May have had to go elsewhere?
Excellent customer service. I was on work and needed a place to crash for the night and save 4 hrs of driving. The Lawns Hotel came up as a nice place to stay and hence I booked it. It was reasonable close and was easy to get to. The staff were extremely friendly and provided great service. When asked for dinner, the agreed even though the kitchen was due to close very shortly. They asked the chef to wait and took my order for dinner. I thought that the meal was a tad expensive until I saw it. The food tasted great and the portion was fairly large. Having had the meal, I felt the price was justified for it tasted great. Everything was cooked just as I had requested. For a Sunday evening, the place was quite busy and I think that there was a party going on at the back. However, after having eaten, I just went to the room and crashed out. Had a great night's rest and no noise interruptions from the party. Filling up on the meal and being exhausted also probably helped. I did not have time for the breakfast in the morning and had to rush. The staff were very helpful again, expediting my paperwork so that I could away on time.

United KingdomI was happy that there was a security gate on the car park, and when I enquired what time it would be opened in the morning as we had to leave early, I was a bit surprised and disappointed to be told it wouldn't be shut that night.
Nice big car park, security guard was very helpful, as the pub was busy being a bank holiday weekend. He made sure I registered my vehicle registration and organised a good place for me to park our large vehicle.

United KingdomNeeded a shaving point
The hotel was perfect location for what we wanted. Staff were really polite and shown us to our room. Food was lovely and plenty of it. We had room 1 which was a deluxe room and had lots of space, our friends had a normal double and struggled for space so definitely worth paying a bit more and you're away from the bar area

United Kingdomour room was very small and not really enough room for us to put our things. only one plug socket at low level. the other was an extension on top of a shelf which wasn’t ideal and has to stand on a stool to reach. noise from bar in the evening but we still managed to sleep easily. walls were pretty thin and could hear next door coughing like he was in the room with us.
great location. Fabulous staff. Cooked breakfast worth the extra. Food was all excellent - we had dinner in the first evening. lovely bar and restaurant. free parking good price

United KingdomNothing, we were very happy with what we had.
The staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help us out. They took extra precautions to keep our car safe as they were having trouble with travellers at the time which was very reassuring. The room was exactly what you’d expect from a hotel attached to a pub, compact, clean and cosy which was lovely - a nice change to bigger chain hotels!
