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 KingdomBed wasn’t great and our room quite cramped as up in the eaves and were both tall so struggled a bit with head height. Pub next door a bit noisy at closing time but was Christmas so to be expected!
Great location near town centre and river. Good breakfast which wasn’t included but 50% discount given as staying there. Friendly and helpful staff.

United KingdomVery friendly staff Good location Nicely decorated room Comfortable bed and pillows
We had an excellent stay at The Town Arms a few weekends ago. Jim one of the owners was very welcoming and friendly. We stayed in the larger family room and it was perfect for the 3 of us. Such a quirky yet cosy room and it was well equipped with everything we needed. We felt very at home. We had dinner their own night and really enjoyed the burgers. It was quite noisy with the bar being below but we had ear plugs anyway so this wasn’t an issue for us. Definitely recommend.

United KingdomThe toilet facilities in the bar area need some attention as were quite run down.
In a great location, right near the river and a very short few minutes walk into the town centre. Bedroom was comfortable but some cobwebs were still visible. Decor throughout needs some attention, but I think the property has maybe not long been taken over and is a work in progress. The young guy who checked us in was extremely friendly and helpful. We did not eat here in the evening but it seemed quite popular. Breakfast was tasty and very good value.

United KingdomExceptionally central location, solicitous staff and relaxed atmosphere - not to mention a very competitive price. Breakfast isn’t included but they will serve it half-price and before their kitchen is open for the public if you tell them the night before. The size and quality meant that was good value for money too

United KingdomVery friendly helpful staff. Room was very nice, with plenty of room. We were 3 people in a quad room. Bathroom was clean with large shower. It was a hot evening and a very effective quiet fan was in the room to use when needed. Parking wasn't an issue as there was a car park very close.

United KingdomAs a solo in a double room, I was charged the full price of a double. No complaints, but it made it an expensive stay. I wasn't impressed with the bed. I rolled into the middle and was pleased that I was sleeping alone.
It's not too far from the Ridgeway Trail, which I was walking. Nice decor in the room. The whole place is contemporary, but maintains a warm charm. The menu consists solely of burgers. I had a vegetarian version of pulled pork. It was pretty good. My veggie breakfast was great. All breakfast options are half price for residents. My room backed on to the beer garden. There wasn't much noise, but it was midweek. The staff were polite and friendly.
