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 KingdomNot a dislike and very much beyond control of hotel but beware of room sizes which some might think are a little snug.
Great family run pub on round the island cycle route. Super friendly staff, secure bike parking. Superb breakfast with various hot choices. Really good menu for evening meal, reasonably priced with excellent range of beers. Room Yarmouth was very comfortable, lovely large double, coffee machine, great shower and toiletries.

United KingdomNot a major issue but the rainfall shower did splash out onto the bathroom floor so had to make sure the mat was really close to the shower tray to catch the water. AC unit was a little noisy and the moving louvres were stuck to the left hand side

United KingdomNothing everything was wonderful!
The accommodation was incredible! It was in an idyllic village with a post office, pharmacy and village store in walking distance. The pub was beautifully decorated and the rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable with air con in the room which was very much needed in this warm weather!The landlady and staff were so lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, we had breakfast on both mornings and dinner on one of the evenings and it was of such a high standard! I cannot rate this place high enough, we had such a fabulous stay!

United KingdomThere were only two couples at breakfast. The lady serving us was lovely and very attentive, however my breakfast when it arrived the sauce was not warm enough. I maybe should have said something but by that point my husband had started eating ! On the menu for breakfast it showed bake beans but they had run out ! And I heard the other couple ask for kippers which they too did not have ! It's little things like this which annoys me
Location and the pub in general. Very nice and friendly.

United KingdomBed frame rather large which sat proud of the mattress , reducing walk room around the bed , thus bruised shins ! A need for an additional towel rail to accommodate bath towels that did not require changing to save water.
Great staff, nice quiet room, new bathroom with good products, quality bath and bed linen. Food offering good and cooked to perfection.

United KingdomAs I mentioned to Anita at the time, it would have been really helpful to have a small shelf on the side of the bed, which was closest to the wall, for water, glasses, book etc, and maybe even a lamp! Otherwise, we were quite happy with our little room.
Anita made us so welcome, our room was very well equipped albeit small for two people, but adequate for our needs and the bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. We had a very nice cooked breakfast on both days, tasty and well presented. The pub was perfectly situated for us being, very close to out relatives in Niton, and it was so great to have free parking too.

United KingdomI ordered a dish and an ingredient was missing when it arrived. The ingredient was integral to the dish. I couldn’t see the food wasted so accepted a discount, but if I knew beforehand I would have ordered something else. I ordered pudding to make up for it. I thought the food was over priced for what it was.
Nice place. I got a discount on the room from a certain website, if I’d paid the full price I would say it was expensive.
