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 KingdomSofa in room was visibly sloping so I tried it and yep, you just slide off it! Pub eating: The pie was a real pie (with pastry) and an enormous plate compared to my partner's paella which was delicious but quite small, but my slice was very dry. Extra gravy provided with a smile though.
Dog friendly. Superb room, large, clean and well appointed. Big TV. Attractive, friendly pub with a full menu. Busy in the evening. Lovely view out onto the green where the ponies were grazing. Fabulous breakfast that was almost too huge! Shower was lush but is above your head type which means you have to stand outside it while it gets hot. Wish we stayed longer and will definitely return.

The location was good, I had to drive into Lyndhurst as it was too far to walk, but there is still lots of lovely walking around where we stayed. The staff were pleasant, it was lovely and clean , food was good in the evening , breakfast was fab go for the full forest. It was also very doggy friendly dogs can stay with you at all times even in the restaurant.

United KingdomRoom was well equipped U but a little small being well filled with a good size double bed. Remote control for TV was not functioning well...it needed new batteries perhaps..or else renewing.
Great quiet rural location in New Forest...lovely village green with not only war memorial but ancient village stocks.. ..attractive and uniquely eccentric village church 100 yds up the hill....well worth visiting with grave of Arthur Conan Doyle in churchyard...lovely aroma of real wood fires in the bar downstairs...very cheerful and helpful staff. Excellent well presented meals both in the evening and for breakfast.
