How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Not the fault of staff but two warm evenings and the windows were open so the smoke from designated outside smoking area did filter in to the raised eating area . I would have sat elsewhere had I realised but it was a small table suitable for a solo traveller, hence my choice..
Everything was there. I'd had a long journey so didn't want to go hunting for places to eat etc. My room was contained in a corridor of 6 rooms so no real noise nuisance from other room users (apart from a late night three-some having a long conversation outside my door - some signs telling people to be quiet in the corridor after 10pm might be useful). What REALLy made this stay were the wonderful staff - in particular, Belle who helped me with all manner of queries after my phone decided to play up. She printed off detailed routes, always came back to me with whatever I'd asked for, a real bonus for the hotel owners. Also Carl (I think - blonde) who was the most friendly, personable member of staff ever and despite being rushed off his feet on BH weekend, managed to deliver with a cheery attitude. Greene King - hang on to these staff members - I stay in a lot of hotels/lodges etc and I consider myself qualified to make these comments

The room was ok, but both the room and the bathroom could do with a wee freshen up/ upgrade.
Location is good, just off the motorway, so good for a stopover. The pub / restaurant attached is fantastic, and is the main reason we returned here after staying last year. There's a feeling of a real community pub, created by the wonderful staff, the activities they put on and what seems to be real engagement by the locals. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good food add up to a really nice stay.

I would have liked some sugar free options for breakfast, eg plain yogurt, sugar free muesli, more choice of fresh fruit - bananas, berries and grapes . However the cooked breakfast was lovely
Very friendly and helpful staff. Evening menu has improved since my last visit.
