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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomThis was a night's stopover before the ferry the following morning. We arrived on the Sunday and had no problems at all parking (The allocated parking is opposite the Inn on the other side of the road). It's situated in a quiet village, about 15 minutes drive to the ferry. As it was a Sunday evening, the pub restaurant was closed, however we were given takeaway menus, provided with plates and cutlery and ate our takeaway downstairs in the restaurant area. Phil was very attentive and helpful. The beds were comfortable and room facilities were excellent for the night's stay. All at a very reasonable price. Thank you! Overall a very good stay that we would recommend and we would definitely choose this option again if needed.

United KingdomVery nice pub in lovely countryside just outside Deal run by friendly hosts. In a quiet location, it has a large outside terrace/garden area and more than ample parking. The quite modern room was very comfortable and had good tea/coffee making facilities, and the bathroom, although not large, functioned well. Breakfast was excellent, although it was a shame we could not try dinner as no food is served in the evening on Mondays and Tuesdays. Overall a lovely place to stay.

United KingdomIt was a shame that food is not served on a Monday and Tuesday evening as we had planned to eat at our location on our first night of arrival (Monday). This was not a huge problem but a courtesy email to let us know that there was no chef on a Monday or Tuesday would have been appreciated, so that we could have made alternative plans sooner as were also meeting a friend.
The room was lovely and spacious and decorated beautifully. We had everything that we needed including kettle, hairdryer, ironing board and an amazing alarm clock that was also a phone charger. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful and made you feel very welcome. Stunning views from our bedroom window and very quiet. Very much enjoyed the curry night meal on Wednesday evening, the food was excellent!

United KingdomA bit tricky to get too, down a few narrow country lanes that were only wide enough for one car. However, once we were used to the journey it didn’t seem so bad. Evening meals aren’t available on a Monday or Tuesday which we didn’t realise,as the booklet in the room stated available every night. As we arrived on a Tuesday evening we were looking forward to eating in the pub but instead had to go searching for an alternative in Deal. Definitely need to amend the information in the booklet.
Lovely, well equipped, large room with nice view of garden. Lovely breakfast and evening meals. Friendly helpful staff. Free parking over the road.
