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.).

United KingdomThe bathtub shower head does not have anything to clip it into the wall, so you have to hold it the entire time you shower, which is very annoying. The stairs up to the top room is incredibly perilous to get to. Would not advise for anyone over 5’5 or elderly. No mini fridge to store things in.
Charming and cosy property, great location. The room is cute and very clean.

Staying at the Falkland Arms felt like stepping into a piece of history. Our room was extremely comfortable and updated. We stayed on the top floor and, even though we had to climb a winding staircase, it added to the charm and history. The staff was incredibly kind and attended to our every need.

A lovely village pub in a stunning location. Room and en-suite comfortable and clean. Dinner was delicious and well presented. The full English the next morning was just what we needed to set us up for the day. Friendly and cheerful staff means we would without doubt recommend the Falkland Arms and we hope to return (if we’re not too decrepit to manage the stairs!)

United KingdomIt was not clear when booking that the spiral staircases in this very old building may cause an issue for those with limited mobility. The description only said 'no lift'.
The room was in the attic, and much larger than expected. However, persons with limited mobility would find access tricky up the very old wooden spiral staircases. Dinner was very good in a lively atmosphere. Clearly a pub for the 'locals' as well as visitors. Breakfast was extremely good, local fayre, and an excellent small buffet. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I did not at any time feel uncomfortable being a solo female traveller.

United KingdomHad a lovely stay at the Falkland Arms last night. A quintessential old-style pub & hotel with buckets of charm. I was travelling for work and didn't arrive until after 10pm. This was not an issue and the staff welcomed me in. I even managed a quick beer before retreating to my room. My room was a single bed with an en-suite. Plenty of room for the solo traveller. Clean and fresh. Staff were lovely and the breakfast was delightful and filling, with a small self-service buffet and a selection of warm dishes to order to accompany. Add this to your bucket list if you're heading down to the Cotswolds.

United KingdomNothing, I loved everything.
I had the loveliest time staying here. The staff were absolutely delightful. My single room was cosy and comfortable, and had everything I needed. The food (I had breakfast and dinner) was delicious. The location was wonderful - a very peaceful little village surrounded by beautiful countryside, with great access to lots of local attractions. If you’re looking for a cosy stay in a quintessential Cotswold village, then this is the place to book. I’m already planning my next stay! I only have 2 words of caution. First, for tall people - As this is such an old building, the ceilings are very low, so I recommend calling the pub to check the ceiling heights in their rooms before you book, just to make sure you’ll be comfortable. If it’s helpful to know, I’m 5’4” and had no problem at all. Second, for anyone with mobility issues - the rooms are accessed via quite a small spiral staircase. If either of these things mean that you can’t book a room, I still highly recommend a visit to this pub for a drink or some food. It’s so pretty and full of character, well worth a visit if you’re in the area.
