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 KingdomThere was nothing that I didn’t like.
It was an absolute delight to stay at the Clive Arms. It was so much more than I expected. Everything was tastefully done. The staff were lovely? The accommodation was fantastic. It was a really good start to my holiday, I’d like to have stayed longer.

United KingdomThe hotel is on quite a busy road so there is some slight traffic noise if you are in the main hotel at the front.
Lovely accommodation just outside Ludlow. Really comfortable beds. On site is a farm shop, cafe, plant shop, distillery and artist studio. The restaurant in The Clive Arms does get very busy and booking is essential.

Peaceful and spacious location that suited us. Dinner, which was not available every night, was excellent, this was not an issue since we were visiting family locally and there are plenty of places to eat within a short journey.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!
The quality and size of the room matched my experience of 4/5 star hotels. Very comfy super king size bed, loose leaf tea and fresh coffee for refreshment, plus large comfy sofa completed the very welcome creature comforts. The bathroom and shower was large and spotless (both rooms had benefitted from a very tasteful refurb). On top of this, we were bowled over by the efficiency and friendliness of all the staff. We ate very well at the restaurant too. Thanks for such a comfortable stay, Clive Arms!

United KingdomIt is a little way out of the town and taxis aren’t always reliable but we are in at the Clive Arms and really enjoyed our meal.
The staff at both the Clive Arms and the Farm Shop next door where we had breakfast were simply delightful. The room was comfortable, clean and came with ground coffee and fresh tea if you wanted it.

United KingdomNoise right outside our room early in the morning from a delivery van.
The room was clean, well decorated, very spacious and comfortable. We loved the toiletries in the bathroom. We got breakfast at the Farm Kitchen which was lovely, we did have to pay extra for this but got tea and coffee for free. There was lots to do on the site and the hotel is only a 5 minute drive from Ludlow. The pub was a lovely place to have a drink and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomTo he honest the only thing I could fault is that the quantity of freshly ground coffee could have been a bit more generous.
The bedroom and bathroom were generously proportioned and spotlessly clean. Bedding and towels were of good quality and luxury toiletries were provided together with tea and coffee making facilities. The check-in and check-out arrangements were simple and quick. This is a quality establishment at a reasonable price.
