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 KingdomI’d love to be able to have the option of breakfast served earlier than 8am, as this is too late when staying for business, so I was unable to have this.

United KingdomEverything was good - maybe a small distance from racecourse but nothing an Uber couldn’t sort!
The Swan Inn was a gem of a find - customer service was professional and friendly, the accommodation and restaurant was clean and comfortable and the food and ale were excellent. The manager Huw was great - really helpful as were all his staff - created a nice atmosphere.

United KingdomHeating system was a bit of a challenge, and no instructions in the room. Power points but no USB sockets. Shower excellent on 'overhead' but the knob to hold the handheld attachment not working.
Superb breakfast! Most unusual (for me) to have a vegetarian breakfast, but it really was unexpectedly good. Included softly cooked red peppers, mushrooms, an entire avocado (thinly sliced) and lovely (rustic) toast, as well as the usual eggs, etc, cooked any way you want. Traditional breakfast also available, of course. Room quilt was lovely and warm. WiFi good.

United KingdomHard to think of anything I did not like but improvements I would suggest would be nespresso machines in rooms, coffee granules or bags as the cafetiere and ground coffee make a bit of a mess and if you want to make another coffee, need to rinse out all the coffee grinds etc. If you are a light sleeper, request a room without the rooms above, if free, because noisy guests walking around can be heard. Never been an issue for me.
Lovely rooms with their own doors and window to outside little courtyard at the back of the restaurant. Almost like mews rooms. Has aircon if needed. Just great little attention to details. The spanish restaurant attached is amazing. Make sure you book for dinner as it gets super busy with locals. The a la carte breakfast is also served in the restaurant and is great with great coffee. There are a few spaces at the front, but these get filled quickly. There is plenty of space down the lane though, so no issue ever finding spaces. Close to Claygate and Esher which have lots of restaurants and pubs/bars.
