How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Cafe breakfast - good but could have been even better with tweaks - e.g. margarine used on breakfast sandwiches one staff member not very friendly or engaging. Dinner in the restaurant very tasty well presented but tiny portions - not good value for money.
The room was tastefully furnished, very spacious and comfortable with all the resources needed. Breakfast in the on site cafe was nice. Excellent facilities on site - lovely farm shop, cafe and takeaway and children's play area. Excellent staff in the hotel and restaurant. Overall a very good stay and would return.

Nothing really although it’s 3 miles from Ludlow so you have to drive or use a taxi at night for evening restaurants if the Clive Arms restaurant isn’t open
Large and comfortable room. Very good decor. Large and modern bathroom. Coffee, tea, water and biscuits in room all excellent quality. Restaurant wasn’t open so didn’t use but bar very good. Next door to farm shop and it’s excellent restaurant for breakfast.

The rooms probably need re decorating if they want a larger payment. Beginning to become tired. It does not stop me staying at the moment.

Nothing. This time I stayed in a very comfortable room with plenty of space. I eat at the cafe and enjoy the services on site. I choose not to stay anywhere else.
I stay regularly on route to family. As a single traveller I feel very safe staying here and I am used to the facilities. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. The hotel has matched my dates and been flexible to match my needs. Thank you.

Amazing rooms which are nice and cosy to go back to after a days walking. The food in the restaurant is amazing and extremely well priced (you would have paid a lot more in London to get that quality). The staff were very helpful and were all to happy to help. The Cafe right next door does an amazing breakfast with delicious local produce.
