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 KingdomVery narrow entrance to car park, but with advice from staff to put wing mirrors in and guidance from hubby, managed to get our Mitsubishi Outlander in and out without damaging anything! Wouldn't try a second time, so would pay for public car park. Not a fault of The King's Arms as a historic building.
Excellent location for centre of town. Staff friendly.

United KingdomThe room was not serviced during two night stay, so tea and coffee not renewed. This meant we had just four coffee pods and four milk pots for two people over two days, which is quite stingy. Couldn’t make tea as no more milk. I don’t like Tassimo coffee makers as the waste coffee pods are environmentally unfriendly, and there was no alternative. Instructions for the machine might have helped - had to Google how to use it. For room only (there are convenient cafes nearby for breakfast) I thought it a bit expensive. Food in the pub was very tasty, but portion size was small. We’re both in our 60s, so not big eaters, but our tagines left us feeling unsatisfied, and we didn’t appreciate the loud amplified live music, which prevented conversation. Even the staff were shouting over it.
Beautiful modern room, warm and with a comfortable bed. Good lighting - we both like to read. At rear of pub, so quiet. Very pleasant staff. Conveniently located in a lovely town.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like!
We loved our stay. They have done a fantastic job of modernising a building that is really old. We were astounded that on a very busy Friday night in the bar we couldn't hear any of the hubbub in our room. The food and staff were great....and although the turn in to the pub car park was disconcertingly tight, it can be done, and some quite large vehicles had managed it; very much worth it for the location right in the centre of such a lovely market town. I mustn't forget to mention the fantastic view from the beer garden!

United KingdomRooms were definitely on the small side & the bed! The dining room was a little messy and hadn’t been cleared /cleaned. On arrival we told there would be a band in the bar (later), so expected to hear noise & we were facing a busy street. However it was just for one night so was fine.
Location was great for us all. The landlady was very friendly and helpful. When we returned from our meal, we went into the bar. The band were very good and atmosphere was great. Great pizza place down the road!!!
