Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Good location with friendly staff. Our room/s were fabulous. I booked a double room and when we arrived I was told we were in the loft. This consisted of 2 bedrooms a sitting room with a kitchenette and a large bathroom - wow! We had an evening meal there too and the food was extremely good. Breakfast options were great too. The full English was beautifully cooked. I’m sure we will definitely be returning.

United KingdomNothing really.
This is the perfect place to stop on your way to Scotland or even to spend a few days, as there are nice walks to do around. The town is nice too. The room we had is actually a good size two-bedroom flat and included a great full English breakfast. It is one of the best value for money place to stay in England!

AustraliaThe bed is made of 2 single beds pushed together with no topper, so there was a large gap down the middle. The bed is also short, I’m 5’8 and my feet hung over the end of the bed.
We stayed at 5 The Mews. As soon as we walked in we knew we wouldn’t be leaving again that evening. Having traveled for 8 weeks it was like a home away from home. There are electric recliner couch and seat in the lounge which are devine. The TV gets all the streaming services if you have an account. There is air conditioning. The shower is easy to work and is hot and strong.

United KingdomThe loft suite was spacious and clean, with all comforts considered - including fans for the hot weather, ear plugs in case of noise (although there wasn’t any so we didn’t need them) and lots of towels. Lovely friendly welcome and nothing too much trouble for our host - really made to feel at home. Very family friendly and lovely for our dog too. Dinner and breakfast were amazing - great food, big portions and a fab atmosphere. We’ll be back!

United KingdomIt was great. We prepared our picnic lunch in the room before leaving and there was no knife in the room for cutting up sandwiches but had we gone downstairs to ask- I’m sure they would have provided one.

United KingdomBathroom small. Not particularly friendly staff. Noisy at night from road outside and ill-fitting front door. A bit stuffy as windows don’t open.
Location good on high street near to pubs and shops. Pleasant village/small market town. Apartment comfortable and well furnished (but not to our taste), good kitchen with plenty of crockery and cutlery, washing machine and dish washer.
