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 KingdomIt’s not a didn’t like. There is no sink for washing up however Maggie was more than happy to refresh the crockery and cutlery daily.
Had a bit of character. Very comfortable bed with a super view over the fields. Clean and had everything we needed. Close to several pubs although not walking distance.

There are all those little things that you might forget to take with you, but you will need. And Maggie.....she is so lovely, friendly and helpful. Thank you Maggie, we wish you lots of success and we will see you again soon.

Obviously recently decorated and appointed room and ensuite with consideration given to travellers needs. Excellent location for Chichester, Bognor and other South Coast towns. Well thought out buffet breakfast with everything provided. Recommend to anyone visiting the area.

United KingdomWe would have liked the heating to have come on earlier, as the room was initially chilly, facing west as it does.
The room was light, airy and had a view across a small garden and fields. There was no noise intruding. The breakfast goods were fresh, varied and plentiful. The bed was comfortable ... and huge! One of the nicest places we have stayed.

United KingdomWe had a very very relaxing stay, booked 2 nights, Friday and Saturday with the intention of a wander around Chichester but we found the room (chapel garden) to be so comfortable and relaxing we decided just to chill there on the Saturday to re charge, so glad we did, the patio doors to the room opened up to a beautiful, well kept garden which overlooks miles of open fields, we just sat and watched the birds all day. Bed was very comfortable, TV a good size, bath was a huge bonus as so many places just have a shower now, the breakfast hamper was amazing with all we needed for 2 days breakfast, coffee bags instead of instant was a great addition, even a little pot of boiled sweets. We will definitely return, thank you Maggie you've got a little gem there.

United KingdomQuite difficult to manouevre the car, especially at night.
The house was well signposted and easy to find. The views out are good. I imagine it's very pleasant in summer, we were there in March and quite cold in the garden. The inside was well furnished and everything worked fine. It is essentially one room with an ensuite. It was a bit tight when eating but manageable.
