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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaA little bit noisy as it was quiz night but I put in the fan and the “white noise” blocked it out.
Great location so close to the train station - just one stop from Stansted Airport and cheaper than the cost of an airport hotel.

SpainThe beautiful washbasin in the bathroom was sadly impractical for me as it was at chest height! As the rooms are directly above the pub, this is probably not the choice for an early relaxing night. On Saturday, there was live music until closing time. The floor was literally bouncing with the loudness of the speakers. Of course, if instead you go with the flow and join in, then it's no problem. :)
I booked the kings arms for its proximity to the train station but it turned out to be the best stay of our holiday. A simply lovely room above a lively pub (food's good too), with exposed beams, a low doorway and a fireplace. The bed was really comfy, the bath a nice change for a relaxing soak, and the bathrobes and slippers a delightful surprise. Basic breakfast provisions are provided in the room (cereals, milk, tea and coffee and yummy biscuits) along with a small fridge where we stored our own provisions.

United KingdomThe room was dirty around the edges, corners and behind desk/bed, accumulated dust and grime, could be fixed easily.
The location for travel up and down the line to LDON and North Essex is good, and good access to Stansted airport.

United KingdomA little more milk would have been nice. I put up the ironing board to use and sliced my finger on the metal underneath. The lady downstairs cleaning was very lovely and helpful, she found me a plaster.

United StatesJust keep in mind that it is an old building so the steps are a bit steep and the entrance way to the room is a bit low. These were fine with us, and gave the place character, but something to consider if you have mobility issues or are very tall.
A lovely room above a tavern. Check-in was smooth, and everything was as described. One train stop from Stansted airport. Thoughful touches like robes and slippers, a great meal downstairs, and a convenience store next door. Bed was very comfortable and the bottles of water in the refrigerator and couple of small snacks were much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay, Thank you!

United KingdomSmall room and compact shower area, difficult for the Hotel as you can only do what you can do with limited space. Hotel details should perhaps comment on the slopy ceilings and compact nature of the space. We had breakfast bowls and a limited cereals selection for breakfast in the room but no milk in the Fridge which was odd, We feel this room was a little overpriced and really for the money should include a proper breakfast, this is after all a pub with catering facilities.
Very small room with limited head height but perfectly kitted out and spotlessly clean, located in the centre of Stansted near other facilities.
