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 KingdomThe staff were very good, in fact very good indeed! The food is also very good indeed!
The hotel is a typical English hotel in terms of deco. A bit dated, but I find that quite "quaint" rather than shabby. Mind you the carpet in our bedroom I would call shabby! Maybe not as clean as it could be, but that said the bed had nice white clean crisp sheets and there were nice white fluffy towels in the bathroom. In fact the bed was super comfortable. Be warned the walls and thin and our adjoining room on the both nights of our stay came in late, and made a lot of noise that woke me up! Not the hotels fault, but the sound proofing is just not there.

United KingdomThe only thing that let it down was the staff naking no effort either from the front of house team or managers to have the simple courtesy to reply to a voicemail message I left them on Saturday afternoon. Not really what I would have expected from a Greene King hotel unit. Worst as I know what their brand standards are too.
Even though it is located on a main road. There is very little traffic noise, this Greene King pub - hotel has plenty of outside seating areas and a nice garden to.

United KingdomWe weren't told upon arrival that the gas in the kitchen wasn't working - it was only when we went to the bar after checking in that the very friendly bar staff informed us, but weren't sure which items from the evening menu wouldn't be available. We enquired if we'd be allowed to bring back a takeaway to our room seeing as the kitchen wasn't fully functioning but again, the staff weren't sure. In the end we did had an evening meal at the Roebuck which was very good. The breakfast however was just average. The room was comfy enough, if a little dated, and could have done with more plug sockets.
Friendly staff, the evening food that was available was tasty and the service was excellent. The vibe was relaxed and comfortable.
