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.).

As above....
Walking into the Tilman @ 3.00pm when the bar was packed, not a great aroma and no suggestion it was an Inn was worrying. Returning later, we felt more confident. Accessing the resident's area felt good, and the rooms were a long way from the busy bar (a good thing) and they were comfortable, well-decorated and made us feel much, much better. The breakfast was perfect, all the 'staff' worked well and last impressions altered the first impression.

Pillows are far too soft and wasn't any extra available in the room. The fridge in the room hums quite loudly so could do with being in a cupboard somewhere not right next to the bed. The carpets through the place are looking really grubby and are in desperate need of a deep clean or replacing.The two lamps didn't work on the bed side tables. But the biggest issue is the A/C kept showing a fault all through the night and this morning which meant it got really warm in the room and made it difficult to sleep as I like a room to be cold. We've stayed before and it was one of the best places we've stayed but standards have definitely slipped considering the price.
The rooms are lovely, the bedrooms are well laid out and the bathrooms are beautiful. The nice touches like bottles of milk are great and some nice drinks in the fridge in the room. Bed was really comfortable. And as per last time the sound proofing in the rooms is second to none it's so quiet in there.

Sadly the food portions for a main meal were small, burger and chips for £15!? So we also ordered a side which arrived bigger than both our mains or together!! They definitely need to reconsider their food sizing and pricing
The room was lovely, good seating area by the window and an amazing bathroom

Nothing to dislike.
Staff were friendly. Good location. Bonus of free carpark. Room was very clean and spacious. Very quiet with no noise coming from the bar or main street . Tea and coffee facilities were good with a nice touch of a fridge on the landing for extra milk and cold drinks. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice. Also enjoyed an evening meal from their burger menu. Would definitely stay again.
