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 KingdomOn this occasion, I enjoyed having to walk a very short distance from accommodation to restaurant. I might say differently had the weather been different. Just something to bear in mind rather than a ‘dislike’. Please also be aware that there are no lifts. Pack selectively.
Canal-side location perfect for the purpose of my stay. Clean, comfortable room and facilities; good food; friendly staff. Would have been a 10/10 but for one night coming in just above the £100/night mark (room only). Not a bank-breaker, just slightly more than I might have anticipated.

United KingdomThe mattress was hard! That's the only minor thing but didn't affect sleep.
We loved the quiet location just outside of Lincoln. The pub next door served good value for money food and the staff were very friendly. The room was clean and large (we had a family room with additional bed). It was easy to check in and free parking.

United KingdomIf arriving in the dark, the sign posting isn’t brilliant, and lighting outside the pub area needs improving so the road can be seen better at night.

United KingdomOut of the control of the hotel - but there were some road or rail works going on over the field from the back of the hotel (where my room was) - bright lights and noise that started late at night and went on until at least 3 am! I had to close my window (which I always normally have open) but could still hear it, so I played meditation music on my phone to drown out the awful noise whilst I fell back to sleep. I asked a member of staff the next morning if they knew what it was but they didn't. As I say, nothing to do with the hotel but it did disrupt my comfy night's sleep.
The room was clean and very spacious, excellent facilities, comfy bed and nice shower. My son has recently moved to Lincoln so I am sure I will become a regular visitor at The Woodcocks.

United KingdomNot enough staff in the pub/restaurant to meet the needs, serving meals and drinks, it was extremely busy due to promotional offers. Check in was not as efficient as it has been on past visits. Room wasn’t as clean as it has been before. Reception and communal areas in the hotel are looking tired and unkept, and had a bit of a fusty smell.
