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 breakfast on offer before 9-30am Sunday morning. I checked out at 8-30 with only the cleaners around. Also, I had to place pillows at the foot of the bedroom door. As it was letting in light from a poor fitted door.

United KingdomArriving to a unheated room, and then a lack of urgency to get heating issue resolved. We had to stay in bar for 45 minutes. Flat screen ok but remote control did not work was given different remote but that didn't work in this case because no batteries fitted. Water was cold at 8.30 am had to boil kettle to wash, fortunately we had showered at night and water temp was good then, so just as well. The lighting was inadequate. impossible to use for make up or shaving, one bedside lamp broken.
nice size room comfortable large bed

United KingdomThe room is fine / good, but the pub is amazing - that's what I came back for, great food, great staff, great beer. However, it is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. I booked this stay months in advance and they waited until my free cancellation ran out, 2 days prior to my stay, to inform me of this. That seems underhanded to me.

United KingdomIt was very frustrating to arrive at 8.30pm and be told that the kitchen was closed for dinner having had a long drive anticipating a warm welcome and good meal. Email communication about serving times would have been helpful. Breakfast was also not an option as it was served from 9am which was too late for me.
The room was large and comfortable. Nice big bed and quite location.

The rooms are comfortable, if a little small. It was very clean and the staff friendly. There is no breakfast available, which is a shame.

United KingdomAgain the noise from the air con unit was unacceptable. it is bolted to the bedroom wall so makes the room vibrate. it does not seem bad during the day but when there is no other noise at night it is unbearable. When i have complained to the staff and 2 emails i have had no response. so to sum up very very upset with the hotel.
the staff at check in were very good

United KingdomPopped down to Bar shortly after check in for a night cap. No staff present. No staff visible. Went back to room without having a drink. Noticeable cobwebs around curtain rail area. Quirky shower. Would have preferred a cooked breakfast as we were away on a leisure trip however appreciate that Chef would have been needed. On speaking to White Horse at time of booking, I stated that I would book this accommodation as breakfast was offered. At the time, it was not mentioned that breakfast would only be coffee and pastries.
Really mixed feelings on The White Horse. Checked in around 10pm. Member of staff was friendly and pleasant. Bed was comfortable. Good storage in room. Check out was efficient. Location suited us. Decor in public areas was of good standard and quality.

United Kingdomlast order for dinner 8pm. no hot water in the morning so no shower we boiled kettle for water to wash. no breakfast even after our waitress at dinner the night before asked if we wanted breakfast and said she’d book us a table for 9am. We sat outside til 10am when a female employee eventually opened the door. She was totally disinterested in our experience couldn’t care less. This hotel is in a tiny village with absolutely nothing except this hotel/pub. Guests would need to drive to Hertford to find somewhere to eat. We knew breakfast wasn’t included in the price but not stayed in a hotel before that doesn’t offer breakfast. Could not find anyone to speak to regarding our experience. Sadly would not recommend an overnight stay.
nice room and comfortable bed situated in a small very pretty quiet village. Seems more pub lunch and dinner trade rather than hotel. communication very bad, no reception and no one answered the phone at the hotel or replied to the email I sent prior to arrival.
