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 KingdomCan't think of anything. Worth noting it's room only but plenty of great places nearby for cooked breakfast. Little separate kitchen with tea, coffee and a fridge.
Stylish, newly furnished, comfortable, spacious, spotlessly clean room. Helpful and friendly staff.

United KingdomA Little way out of Cowbridge. States breakfast is included but only toast and cereal on offer from shared kitchen area. Pop up restaurant on premises had lovely food but offering very expensive - £35pp to £65ppfor a main course. Our steak was delicious but cost of meal was expensive compared to wait staff service. Both waitresses were lovely but if you are paying too dollar would expect not to have dirty dishes stacked in front or me or to have vinegar given in sarsons bottles. Need to rethink their product offering.
Beautifully decorated with high quality finish. Spacious room and large bathroom

United KingdomThere wasn’t much parking so had to park out on the road. We pre rang and asked if they had an iron as going to a wedding and they said they did, however when we got there they did not. Loved the kitchen outside the room, although the pastries weren’t great where had been left over night. Nothing huge, small teething problems which could make more value for money. However overall had a great stay and would stay again.
Beautiful pub and rooms. Very friendly and helpful check in. Beautiful rooms. Very clean and the decor was stunning. Soap, shampoo and conditioner all smelt amazing. Excellent food and drink. Very comfortable bed and pillows - slept amazing!

United KingdomShared coffe/tea making area (although this is just personal as I wasn't comfortable popping out to make a cuppa in my nightie once I heard that the occupants of other room were up!), some cups and plates were chipped. Pillows were very hard which isn't my personal preference. Most dissapointing was the breakfast (stale pastries due to being cold and put out the day before)- this isn't the White Lion's fault they clearly state on their information sheets that they do not offer breakfast but offer complimentary pastries, whereas Bookings.com state that breakfast is included which raises expectations. Hot room which means having to open windows next to a quite busy and noisy road. Gutted that the rooms are not pet friendly we would definitely return if we were able to take our dogs next time.
The room was very clean & very comfortable particularly the bed. The bathroom was exceptional and the toiletries were amazing. Staff members were very cheerful, helpful & professional. Decor throughout very good

United KingdomBreakfast was pastry and coffee ok for us but probably a little sparse for some clients. .. The only two areas to be noted was the tap in the bathroom is loose and the rug in the kitchen/common area slips under-foot and could be a potential danger.
The room is exceptional and met all our requirements, fantastic location and property is of a very high standard .

Booked the White Lion for overnight stay ,Birthday treat for my Husband,we had booked Hensol Castle for gin making experience which is about 3.5 miles away,Oscar very kindly offered to take us to the Distillery,we’d booked dinner for 7pm at the White Lion the gin tour was a much longer experience and didn’t finish until just before 6pm…all taxi numbers we tried were not available ..we were about to cancel our restaurant booking and Oscar came up trumps and sent his partner to pick us up…we were so grateful and very impressed with the help and kindness. The at the White Lion/ Rock and Scallop exceeded our expectations, the staff were all without exception,friendly attentive even though completely rushed off their feet with service. Highly recommend for overnight stay,our room as more of a suite ,very high quality bath products,Bed linen etc ,croissants,coffee,tea,jams and yogurt with granola set on the landing with small kitchen area..Fabulous stay..many Thanks again to Oscar and his Team!

The room was superb! Loads of space, stylishly done and very comfortable. It felt brand new! The shower was excellent! And the little breakfast table was a nice touch, the pastries were very gratefully received!
