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):
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 at the Bulls Head went out of their way to ensure the 6 of us, all family members, had rooms next to each other and the correct bed types for our requirements.

United KingdomSo disabled room wasn’t 100% safe, and that there was a slight level difference between bedroom and bathroom and nothing solid to hang onto. I fell backwards when I reached for the door which was a sliding door and didn’t support me (it’s okay, I didn’t hurt myself.😀) We thought we might eat in the pub at night, but the menu looked quite ordinary and when I went in around 5 pm, it rather smelled of stale beer and fried food.
The rooms were really comfy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The touch of generosity with the fruit and extra coffee Supplies at reception was a nice touch.

SpainNo fridge in bedroom.
Great place to stay for early morning flights as it's so close to the airport. It's nice that it's connected to a pub where you can have food all day and has a cozy feel to it, usually airport hotels feel so cold and impersonal. The rooms are basic but fine (other than not having a fridge). Where this hotel really shines is in their fantastic service and their breakfast, if your flight is very early they prepare a packed breakfast for you to take. Also, at reception they have fresh milk, fruit, biscuits, drinks, extra toilet paper for you take if hou need it, great idea!

United KingdomAs we were going to a wedding nearby the day after our stay but didn't need to be at the venue until 1pm we asked if we could extend our check out time by an hour to 12noon. Our request was declined by the duty manager as he suggested all rooms were booked for evening and the cleaning staff needed the maximum time to prepare them. Whilst I acknowledge preparing rooms can be time consuming I assume when booking.com and Expedia was showing that I could make a booking for 5 rooms the hotel wasn't fully booked after all.
Having previously stayed at The Bulls Head we knew what to expect. Conveniently located we find The Bulls Head good value and perfect for our needs. Breakfast was included in the rate and was very good.
