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.).

Verified reviewThe location & breakfast
The toilet had not been cleaned & was in a bad state. The ground floor window could not be locked, when we went out, as the catch was broken.

Verified reviewWe stayed in Room 7, very spacious and a very comfortable bed, shower great, plenty of space, needs a bit of Tlc, but didn't matter. Breakfast great, and evening meals good value and tasty.
We are very sorry you had a poor experience with us. We do our best to excel with our expectations but it seems to have missed the mark on this occasion. We will look into your feedback and see what improvements can be made

Verified reviewWe asked if we could reserve a restaurant table for dinner for a large family group with very short notice. This request was met above and beyond our expectations. The staff were wonderful , our group drifted in over an hour and a half and everyone was served as and when they arrived with professionalism and courtesy. We couldn't fault it. Our room was comfortable with everything we needed to get a good night's sleep. In the morning the person managing was very hepful indeed with some minor requests. His professional level of hospitality to be applauded.
The breakfast we received on our first morning was pretty bad, yet the following morning it was superb, so a little more kitchen training required for whoever was cooking on Sunday. To be fair, the scrambled eggs I received on Monday were Michelin level. One thing which worried us was when we left for the day to attend our son's wedding on Sunday we left a do not disturb sign on our door. We are antique dealers and had stopped off to buy at a fair en route to the Cotswolds so we had some valuables there. But when we returned we found that someone had been in our room and had dumped a load of jumbled mattress toppers on top of our wardrobe ! This seemed strange and disrespectful as we obviously had not vacated the room .Our antiques were fine but our do not disturb sign was ignored and the aesthetics of our room spoiled by the messy pile. This felt a little off. A word with housekeeping required ?

I will be following up with them and ensuring the right people are spoken to. We are very happy you enjoyed your visit, and if your even in the area again we would love to welcome you back. Kind regards

Verified reviewThe location was excellent for the purpose of our trip.
The cleanliness of the bathroom was not to standard. The staff at the bar and restaurant were far too young and inexperienced. Especially dealing with the matter of the flat beers that were on offer ,no customer experience in trying to resolve the matter was extremely disappointing. The food was below standard and priced far too expensive.

Verified reviewBeautiful building with old world charm, which is why we booked.
Had a 2 night stay Bathroom had mold in grout had to ask for shower gel top up . Bath mat not taken away just.hung over bath to use again even though was clearly dirty, and was placed in bath as requested for fresh towels. Bed was so uncomfortable. Cobwebs between dressing table. Paint flaking off walls under window. Dinner on the first evening was not good for the price , small Quiche luke warm, 5 halves of new potatos overcooked and dry , the salt and coleslaw almost non existant, ( never seen such a small serving, literally teaspoon size serving) Breakfast poor, luke warm poor quality. Sausages. Second morning requested. Poached eggs on toast , came undercooked on 1 piece of toast , was taken away and microwaved along with the toast which came back Rock hard. Could be so much better. 🙁

Verified reviewBreakfast was good, hot breakfast made to order. Reasonable choice for continental breakfast including fruit. Plenty of parking. Hot drinks option available in the room, plenty of storage.
The two single beds in the twin room were very narrow. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom particularly could be better. Mouldy shower curtains and mould on bathroom sealings and a somewhat moist bathroom floor. Both the bathroom and bedroom had major cracks in the ceiling and were looking quite run down and in need of refurbishment. The outside window didn't actually close (a fingers width gap even with closed latch) and the inner window wasn't in best shape either and also could do with a good clean and removal of the dead bugs in the gap.
