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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing!
Lovely room, cleanliness was exceptional! Bathroom and bedroom were spotless. Bed was super comfy, we had the best nights sleep ever in a pub/hotel. Amazing breakfast, best full english i've ever had. Food was cooked to perfection and the plates were hot too (I have an issue with hot food served on a cold plate) Amazing place, will definitely return. Staff were lovely and friendly too, I really cannot fault this place, it's fabulous!!

United KingdomTable service for coffee and tea and plain yoghurt as well as the flavoured ones.
The cooked breakfast was great but it would have been even better with table service for the drinks and real coffee. Also, I like plain yoghurt with granola and fruit but there were only flavoured yoghurts.

The room was nice, everything you needed, but it was a little small for the price we paid and it had no bath.

NetherlandsNo possibility to have warm snacks or salads before dinner (7:00 pm), so if you arrive early afternoon you can only be oferred nuts or cookies (which I cannot eat as I am gluten allergic - gluten free options not available).
Great location if you like exploring the beautiful nature around, walking in the forest and visit nearby water reservoir - absolutely recommended! Stuff mostly nice, food OK, but nothing exceptional.

United KingdomThe Filipino food on the menu was not good, the curry was just katsu curry and the street food was way too salty and I love a lot of salt, it looks pretty but tasted awful which was a shame. The roast is clearly what to go for and the fish and chips my Dad had were great!
Reasonable hotel with very friendly helpful staff.

United KingdomSeveral short staircases link the different levels, but there is a small lift that connects the same levels. This Inn is also a beautiful wedding venue (in a completely separate part of the hotel), so I do not know if the bar or restaurant service may be a little slower then.
Brilliant location surrounded by Peak District country views. Fascination Hotel & Spa, beautifully and interestingly designed complex of rooms at different levels and beautiful different garden areas. Friendly professional staff. Pub customers separated from restaurant diners. Large car park. Lovely bedroom with ensuite, beautifully decorated and very clean. Country style decor in the restaurant, but the food has a wonderful Asian dinners] a well as British classics.
