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.).

Anthony
United KingdomWe did mention this to the owner, so he is aware and is looking to rectify it. Having an electric shower in our room, the very low water pressure caused the shower to constantly cycle from very hot to cold, making it difficult to shower.
The location was perfect for us and with the Dove not serving evening food, there was another pub only a few minutes walk away, so that served our purpose perfectly. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything that could be needed. Even a mini fridge was in the room, which actually turned out to be very helpful.

United KingdomLovely place, clean well equipped room with good access. Dog friendly is a bonus as a huge garden area is ideal for last wee for the night and first in the morning. Car parking on site and good restaurant food. However TV difficult to use.

United KingdomThe bed was a bit saggy (one of twin beds), there was a private Abba event on during the evening that we couldnt attend, so it was a bit noisy. Breakfast started at 9:30, which for us was a bit late.
The Dove is situated on a main road, which for us was ideal as we were out house hunting during the day. The staff here were really friendly and helpful, we enjoyed chatting in the tearooom. The room was a good size and very clean. We were lucky that there was food available the night we stayed.

United KingdomWe would have had a breakfast but it didn't start until 0930, which was too late for us to access.
Bathroom was well set out and shower was good - especially important after a full days walk. I also liked how the owners made the effort to contact us in advance to ensure the bedding was set up as a twin and not a double.

United KingdomThere was nothing really, clearly lots of effort had gone into the standard of decoration. But it is an older building and some floors weren't quite level or doors didn't consistently shut. The bathroom had a lock but it was fiddly, so did open unexpectedly but just a minor point.
The team were super friendly and helpful, but not excessive, so just about perfect. The rooms and apartment had everything we needed. Location is good and very easy to find. Lots of choice for breakfast and evening meals.

United KingdomThe whole property is beautiful and in the perfect location for our needs. We found the mattress a little firm for our liking but everyone is different and it’s difficult to cater for everyone’s choice in mattress!
The rooms were really modern and well equipped, the bathroom was lovely and spacious. The whole room was spotless and well decorated. The staff were so welcoming and caring and made sure we got into the rooms with ease.

United KingdomThe fact that the heating was only on for a very limited time at intervals during the day, making the room and especially the bathroom cold. at 3 p.m. the owners closed the bar and restaurant and left the building. Entrance and exit from the building was via an Emergency Exit and involved a walk across wet grass and involved a climb up steps covered by wet slippy leaves, whilst this was manageable during day light hours it was not easy and could be dangerous after dark. We had booked for 2 nights but left after one. No signage to say we were being watched on camera by the owners from their home !!!!!!!
The room was clean and looked to have been refurbished within the last couple of years.
