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 KingdomThere was mothing we disliked.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location was beautiful, it was a shame we didn't have more time to explore the area further but hopefully we will be back again. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good. The plug on the basin needs the chain attached again as it made it almost impossible to remove it!

United KingdomRoom 4 is very hot as it is above the kitchen but if you open the widnow you are just above the extractor fan, so it's either too noisy or too hot.
Great staff, lovely food, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Just lovely!

The locations, the atmosphere, the food was top class, the family suite was the best I’ve ever stayed in especially with a dog. Spotless accommodation.

United KingdomWe stayed in an old building, and unfortunately sound isolation wasn't the best. Our neighbours had a room upstairs and we heard every footstep and every word. But they went to sleep early so at the end it wasn't too big of a deal, but I definitely recommend bringing some earplugs.
It's a classic inn with a beautiful pub and beer garden attached to it, we absolutely loved the atmosphere. The buildings are made out of beautiful stone, the room was very nice and comfy, we had good wifi, great food. We definitely had a lovely time.

We stopped in the Cobb room ,which was located down the side of the property, with its own entrance. That was great for us as we took our 2 little dogs The room was perfect good bathroom and a bonus little room where the dogs slept

BelgiumWe loved everything about the Inn, located in a beautiful village, nearby Oxford and the Cotswold villages we wanted to visit. We had a lovely, cosy 'cottage' for our family, with private entrance, in the 'beer garden', actually a very nice terrace to the animated pub. Staff was friendly and accommodating, also toward you children. We had a very agreeable mini-break!

The Swan Inn is a beautiful Cotswolds pub with rooms. We stayed in the family room which was a duplex with 2 bedrooms upstairs. The rooms were cosy and we loved the bath tub with a window above so you could look up at the sky. We had a fantastic dinner in the pub by the fireplace and a lovely breakfast again by the fireplace.

GermanyIt was our second stay at this Inn. Every room is different and we loved both our rooms. This room was very spacious, with a big, comfy bed and a bathtub. It was bright and friendly and tastfully decorated. Staff was friendly and food (dinner and breakfast) was delicious. Breakfast was simple and continental, but that was ok for us.

Everything! This was a last-minute decision to take a rest on a long journey. Pretty much our ideal stay. Excellent service, room, food, and great beer. Stayed in the top attic room, old beams, huge bath, blackbird in the morning outside the window. Beautiful old Inn, tastefully restored. We will be back.

United KingdomIt was not made clear on the booking that the included breakfast was continental only and that a further charge was payable for a cooked option. The cooked option is quite expensive. The venue allows dogs within the breakfast room. Its not particularly pleasant trying to enjoy breakfast with a strong dog aroma and yapping. Although the area is quiet there is limited parking so cars need to be parked on the road overnight. Comfortable room (No 6) but no separation between the bath and bedroom.
Friendly and helpful staff. Pizza and risotto both very good and food generally is of a very good standard.
