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 KingdomNo wifi in the bedroom, only in pub downstairs. Then "safety" green light on the ceiling. I believe this was like a safety light in case of fire etc., and although safety first, this was so bright overnight it disturbed the sleep🫣 bedroom is above pub, and you can hear customers downstairs however this didn't bother us, bit of a background white noise😁 carpet behind bed headrest needs a good hoover.
Loved the location, so close to Alton waterpark. Lovely staff, lovely lady at the breakfast that served us. Good breakfast, choice of cereal and yougurt for kids was winner. Nice spacious room for 4 of us.

United KingdomWe stayed at The White Hart for 3 nights. Upon checkin at the bar we were greeted by a friendly blonde lady, sorry I did not get her name. We were explained all the usual stuff we needed to know and given our keys to room 1. Lovely wee room with on suite. The bed was so comfy with plenty of pillows. The shower had a huge shower head and was pleasant, the mirror was a on screen to light up the mirror, which was entertaining. Went to the bar in the evening for a few drinks and we met Kerry who was so welcoming and chatty and made us feel right at home. OK so breakfast time, well the breakfast was amazing, so hot and fresh and any supplements was not an issue. A big shootout to Mon and Benny who served us each morning with big smiles and genuinely interested in what we were up too and how our previous day went. Lovely wee beer garden where we met Mollie the cat who loved her strokes and then we met the boss called Alfie who again was a cat but in charge of everything. Had an amazing stay and we will be back again, so thank you to all the community for making our stay amazing.
