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 KingdomCentre of Lyndhurst so some commuter noise, countered by ear-buds. Room over main bar (it is a pub with rooms not a hotel with an adjoining bar), but all quiet by 23:30 (Wednesday).
Warm, comfortable, convenient with handy free parking.

United KingdomWhen arriving by car and parking in the car park late at night there was no rear access into the hotel after 23.00 hrs the only access was an uncomfortable long walk to the front of hotel. Which is outrageous and unacceptable for elderly guests and the disabled. Not Good.
Breakfast was adequate and location of hotel was easy to locate.

United KingdomBed was really uncomfortable, the room was boiling hot and we had no idea when we booked that there was live music downstairs on the Friday night. Would rather have known as we would have booked elsewhere. Great pub though so hate complaining but we couldn't wait to get back to our own bed in Sunday night!

United KingdomCan't really fing anything I didn't like.
Excellent location. The hotel has been furnished to a very high standard and our room and ensuite was really lovely. Great breakfast kept us going for most of day. The bar was brilliant great atmosphere and being the weekend it was very busy. There was also a Christmas fun day on the Saturday and they had loads going on a real community pub. The staff were really cheerful and obviously liked working there which was good to see.. we had a great time and would go back in a flash.

United KingdomThe stay as excellent in 99.9% of everything. The fabric of the place as excellent, as as service, staff friendliness and attitudes, the quality of food and service was outstanding. Pricing reasonable, but our one thing, which is not their fault, I didnt tell them my wife has mobility issues and e had many corridors and stairs to navigate to get to and from our room. Ten out of ten!!

United KingdomThe parking isn't that big although they were accommodating trying to fit us in. It is behind the hotel so hard to find if you just turn up using the hotel name in your sat nav so make sure to find the right postcode for it which is different to the hotel postcode.
The hotel was excellent, the breakfast included was delicious and all the staff were super helpful. A perfect location and will definitely choose to stay here again.

United KingdomAn extremely relaxed pub/restaurant with the staff making me feel welcome upon arrival. Stayed in the "Burley" room which was very clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Bathroom was clean and provided with some wonderful smelling soaps and shower gels. Provided with the usual selection of complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits. Excellent location and is within 30 seconds of food shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. Ate in the restaurant and the food was amazing (chicken burger is definitely worth a try). Though the room is above a pub, the noise levels were fine for me and couldn't hear much of what was going on downstairs. Great night sleep and definitely stay here again when back in the area.

United KingdomHad to park outside & run in to find out how to get to the car park - it’s accessed by going round the one way system apparently so ice we had instructions all good but would have been good to see that on our confirmation email. That’s the only issue we had.
Very clean, warm welcome. Bed so comfortable. Staff very approachable. Breakfast was lovely - I have a dairy intolerance so they provided dairy free spread, left out the sausage as they were unsure if it contained milk but gave me an extra slice of bacon instead.

United KingdomI couldn’t really fault the hotel for the price.The only gripe I had was there was no heating in the dining room for breakfast in the mornings.
A lovely hotel set right in the middle of The New Forest.The hotel is situated right in middle of the High Street of Lyndhurst only a few yards from the pubs and restaurants.The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at this hotel was very nice with a lovely full English breakfast every morning. The Wi-Fi was excellent and free parking in a secluded car park at the rear. Would I recommend this hotel? Yes definitely, would I stay there again, yes definitely.
