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 KingdomLack of aircon or fan
The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The room was well equipped the only issue being there was no aircon which on a really hot evening made cooling the room difficult there wasn't a fan to circulate air either. Staff couldn't be more helpful from booking through to checkout . There was a good selection for Breakfast including cereals, toast and plenty of cooked options all of a very high standard We would stay again

SwitzerlandIt‘s a detail really but it would be nice to have a towel rail besides the radiator and a hook for the hand-towel by the sink.
The Huntsman is one of those rare finds that you hope for on your travels. It is on top of a hill on the edge of the village where the only sound in the night is the call of an owl and you get woken by the dawn chorus of birds. It has only 3 rooms. Our room appeared to have been refurbished very recently and -even though a tad small - had all the right things. The bathroom was state of the art. The restaurant was exceptional, fine food nicely presented. Beyond my understanding why the don’t have any Gault Millau points. The staff was very good too. Special thanks to the lady who served the breakfast and also cleaned our room every day. Such people are hard to find nowadays.

United KingdomThe weather was very hot during our stay and the winterweight duvet was far too warm. A lightweight duvet for summer months would make the lovely rooms even more comfortable. A little more choice on the menu for vegetarians and vegans would be nice, especially for guests staying multiple nights
The Huntsman is in a lovely rural location but within easy driving distance of many places of interest. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We stayed for three nights and ate in the pub each evening. The dining room is well appointed, the food was well cooked with generous servings. We found each member of staff to be helpful and friendly.

Great room with great facilities. Really friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant doesn't open Monday so we booked a table in the bar, which still had the same menu. The meal was amazing!!! Even though there's a bar, there was no noise. Breakfast was also very good.
