Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe booked a family room with patio, and direct private access as we have a toddler so have a pram etc. We were given an upstairs room with no direct access to outside and other rooms were full with all adult bookings without children. Room we got given was not the room advertised or booked as pictures or description showed on booking.com

United KingdomRooms and hallways were a bit tired, and the carpet in the hallway needs replacing. We would have liked to eat at the Vines, but the kitchen was closed, so there is no food service. Only breakfast is served The cooked breakfast was on the cold side, but there was a good variety of cereal yoghurt and toast
Good supply of coffee milk sugar and biscuits. Nice clean room and bedding. Friendly and helpful staff. The toaster needs replacing

AustraliaSee above. Almost no dinner food offerings. Maintenance of the internal parts of property.
I understand that the Vines has recent new management. The staff were great, but there were some obvious legacy issues from the previous ownership/managers. There are significant items such as no food at night except for Wednesdays, due to previous closure of the kitchens. The rooms were clean but overhung by the poor finish and maintenance of the previous ownership. I'm sure these things will be addressed in time. Full credit goes to the new management and staff.

United KingdomThere were lots of extension leads in the room. The kitchen was closed for the evening meals, I felt like this could be communicated to us before we arrived. I understand refurbs need to happen, but given the remote location, it gave limited dining options after that point.
The location is great, and the building was so pretty. The staff are helpful, polite, and friendly. The room was cosy and clean and had comfy beds, and breakfast was good.

United KingdomThe first floor room I was in was very hot and stuffy, a pedestal fan was in the room and left running 24/7 but it didn’t clear the air as it was not very good and was noisy at night. Breakfast was served at 7:15am in the week and 8:15am at the weekend. This was far too late for just about everyone stopping at the hotel as most were attending an event in the area and had departed the hotel before 7am. Also, a lack of information on checking in, I had to ask lots of basic questions like where exactly is my room. I also found out from a sign in a window that the kitchens were closed due to a refurb which meant having to drive several miles to get food in the evening, something I feel I should have been made aware of before I checked in.. These are fairly small points that can be addressed quite easily to improve anyone’s stay at the hotel.
The bed was comfortable and the room was made up every day.

United KingdomWe had no fridge in the room and the kitchen/restaurant was closed and we had not been notified. There were no other restaurants within walking distance, I only chose this place due to it also being a restaurant. For 4 star we expected a small fridge in the room. The fact there was no restaurant and nothing else to do at night a larger tv in the room would also have been good.
Lovely place to stay, staff couldn't do enough and stored our dogs food in a fridge in the pub, the manager seemed suprised we did not have a fridge in the room. We were allowed to order a take away and eat this in the pub, however this does not substitute a proper cooked meal
