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.).

Loved the quirky old building and the lovely gardens Also after being a bit disappointed to find out that the pub was closed on Mondays we then really enjoyed the fact that they prepared food for us in the pub and we were able to have a couple of drinks with our food .

United KingdomDon’t expect luxury. But it is good if you just need to put your head down.
It was very basic. But you are not paying too dollar. It does what it says on the tin. Staff very nice. Breakfast was well worth the £10 per person. Fruit/yoghurt/cereal/full English snd. Unlimited tea/coffee. Bedroom clean and tidy. Bed comfortable.

United KingdomThe steps leading down from the rooms to the pub are a little bit iffy if you aren't fully mobile.
We needed a place to stay to break up a journey and this was ideal. Rooms were spotless with the usual welcome tray. We ate in their pub at night and it was very good and the locals were extremely friendly sharing banter. The next morning we had a cooked breakfast for £10 each and was well worth it. I would not hesitate to recommend the Royal Oak in Dunsford for an overnight stay.

United KingdomNot the place for you If you want a flash wet room with power shower, oversized beds and expresso coffee on tap !
The centre of a quiet little village - feels like the middle of nowhere - Warm welcome, uncluttered functional room , a lot quieter than the normal "room in a pub". Everything worked. Great food served promptly in warm and very pleasant surroundings in the pub. Very good nights sleep and a pleasure waking up to the sound of sheep and phesants ! And excellent value .

CanadaThe wifi and television didn’t work. Wifi worked in the pub, though.
It was exactly where I wanted to go. It was a pub/ b&b, so there was food (no shops in village). The owners were friendly. The shower was excellent. The courtyard setup was fun.
