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 KingdomShower, although modern and clean, was very very slow (almost a trickle) and low pressure. Check in was fine, but staff on the bar didn’t seem to know what was happening and weren’t the most helpful in terms of providing info (eg. check out procedures, breakfast times etc.) I had to ask multiple times to get enough information about a few admin-type topics, such as how to check out, what time breakfast was, what happened if an early check out was required etc. I was asked if I wanted breakfast providing as a pack-up, as I was checking out early. Fruit, yoghurt and cereal was offered by staff. In the end, my bag consisted of 2 small apples and a singular yoghurt pot. You have to walk through the dining room with luggage / belongings etc which feels awkward (not the property or owner’s fault - just an observation)
Room was lovely and modern, decorated nicely with great comfy beds. Nice sheets / linen / towel. Bathroom likewise, nicely decorated (appeared nearly new). Very clean throughout. Fridge in the room was a nice touch, as was the water and tea / coffees.

United KingdomI’m not sure the rooms that I booked from the photos exist. I booked 2 modern looking rooms with large double beds. we had one modern ish room with a standard size double. curtains were mouldy and the kitchen extractor fan was a foot from the bedroom window. nice and loud first thing in the morning. the second room was in a block round the back of the hotel. in my opinion a much nicer room even though I was told that these are the old rooms. large double bed, outside seating lots of room to move but a very dated wet room. after spending the night in our double bed and noisy extractor fan I asked to move rooms. I mentioned that I had booked rooms with large double beds and was told that they don’t have rooms with large double beds. The wording on my booking says large double bed! I said that the second room my dad was in had a large double bed so could we move rooms to the block out the back. I was given a new room as requested and had a very comfortable second night. the breakfast doest look anything like the photos either. it seems that the photos are just for show as what we got was not what we expected. having said that our room change was accommodated without any fuss and the rooms were clean.
great location to Caswell House. clean

United KingdomSadly, in common with many businesses, the management are having trouble finding staff which meant that the bar was either not open or closing early. No longer has draught beer as they found they weren’t selling enough (come on people of Black Bourton, use your local!). I still don’t care for paying for my stay four days before I arrive!
Improved since last year’s visit. The grounds are looking cheerful with pansies in the planters, the grass was mown, buildings have been spruced up. The bed was very comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful, right next to a field and the church, birds singing everywhere.
