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.).

The hosts Sam and Richard, and Rob the bar man, were fantastic people. Very friendly place , great location for many walks. The room was large and had a hallway area for muddy boots. We had room 1 and we had plenty of room for us and the crate for our dog. The shower cubicle is compact, so be aware if you are on the rounder side of cuddly, but the shower was great after a long day of walking. The mattress was a bit soft for us, but we still slept really well, and that's down to preference, not an issue. We ate there on Friday and the food was delicious, good pub food. We had a roast lunch on Sunday before we left, again, delicious and they catered my love of gravy well. Breakfast was full English or any variations you may prefer, also cereal and tons of toast. You'd never know they had only been running the place since September last year. When we left it was like leaving friends and I was quite sad! We'd laughed and laughed all weekend. We have quite a lot of other trips this year or I'd have gone back again but we're definitely booking a stay for next year.. Maybe we'll go for the day as it's only 2 hours from home. We had the best time!!

GermanyVery small toilet. Difficult to use for large people. Old wooden ceiling, hence noise from walking upstairs.

United KingdomSo glad we found this place. Our hosts Samantha and William were warm and welcoming, as we're all the locals we met. We had a lovely family room as I was travelling with my 2 sisters, which was warm, spotlessly clean with comfortable beds. Bedding and towels were great quality too. Plenty of parking at the Inn; food was plentiful, home-cooked and tasty, breakfast was fabulous. We would definitely book here again for visiting this area as it's also a great location for a base to explore.
