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...).

United KingdomThe pub is set in a wonderful location surrounded by beautiful countryside. Our room was located in a separate cottage across the road from the main building with our own garden to sit in which was in full sun the afternoon we arrived. A beautiful cooked breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

United StatesThe bed was just OK you kinda go toward the middle
We absolutely love the location. It is so beautiful and tucked away enough to feel the countryside but close to everything as well.

United KingdomRoom was on ground floor of old stable block with a room above & noisy creaking floor was a bit annoying at times during the night. Room was ok for the price (paid £160 b+b non refundable deal) but was basic & had cracked sink basin, uneven loose, cracked tile floor in bathroom, blinds on door that did not block morning sunlight much so room was v bright early morning which made it difficult to sleep... also water temp in shower would not go lower than fully hot & appears the thermostatic valve not working...none of the above terrible faults, but together mean wouldn't stay again in that room!
Lovely old pub with lots of character, good service from the staff, very nice food in the restaurant & an excellent breakfast, beautiful & quiet location... Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomBeing on the ground floor felt a little bit exposed, but we got over the feeling rather quickly.
Beautiful surroundings, as are the buildings and gardens, with fantastic, attentive, and charming staff and great food and drink. Our room was a perfect size and comfortable, with a simple yet functional bathroom.

United KingdomFrom arrival to when we left, our party was looked after by the exceptional staff. The rooms were excellent, clean & roomy (perhaps consider a fan in the room as one night was warm). But the service, drink and food very much lived upto expectations. Places like the Swan Inn are what make the UK great.

United KingdomRoom was in "the stables" and not the actual inn - space a little small and sparse for the amount paid. Was expecting a little more as in the television being in a position you could watch from the bed. Had to request more tea/milk/sugar.
Staff and breakfast excellent
