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 KingdomRoom was quite noisy but suppose being on the High Street that can't be helped. Whilst the lady who checked me in and served me dinner was rather outstanding and knowledgeable, found the rest of staff somewhat lacking in customer service skills. Vegan breakfast (ok I had it without mushrooms as allergic) was not what I'd call full breakfast but at best laughable small . Also, disappointed at the cereal selection, would be nice if cereals were suitable for vegans, too. If I stay again, will opt to have my breakfast somewhere on the High Street instead.
The room was amazingly well equipped for the price, as well as pretty, very impressed with that.

United KingdomBeer - on Tuesday my 1st pint seemed like it had been in the pipes for too long. was going to give them the benefit of the doubt but when I asked for another one they switched to the other pump so a bit hard to judge. I did not mind drinking the other brew. I am part disabled and found the stairs hard work plus there was nothing to hold on to in the bathroom (you don't always need grab rails)
food = excellent room = the swankiest I have ever stayed in staff attitude = very helpful

United KingdomThe fried tomato was pretty grim (this is not uncommon, we seem to reserve the biggest, least ripe specimens for this purpose across the UK).
It was great that my early check-in request had been considered, big thanks there. Rooms were very nice. Breakfast was superb, especially the use of Netherend Dairy butter.

United KingdomOur room was COLD! The radiator was off and, even though there was a warning on the bathroom radiator to be careful of the boiling pipes - it was also cold. I reported this to the staff, who said that if they put our heating on, they'd have to put the heating on for all the rooms...which seems a bit odd. The heating was off the entire time we were there and we were very chilly! Shame really, as the room and the staff were good - this would make us think twice about rebooking the King's Arms in the coming weeks when we return to Godalming.
We loved the location right in town and the room was nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower and toiletries were well above average. Staff were friendly and seemed to be working more than one job - quite an impressive team spirit in play.

United KingdomI have to be honest the showers here, in every room I have stayed in are not great. The pressure isn't the best at all and on my last visit it wasn't strong enough to even wash my hair fully. I was told a plumber would look at it the next day, but when I returned I was told that I 'had a bath in the room' and that no plumber had been. I was offered an alternative room, but on night 2 I did not want to have to pack everything up to move. I was given (after asking for a jug to use in the bath to wash my hair) a glass water carafe - needless to say I didn't use ti and just made do.
I've stayed here a number of times now and the rooms are just really lovely. On the most part the staff are great and its well located. The food in the restaurant is good.

United KingdomBasin in the bathroom was really too small to do more than wash one's hands. Parkinkg is an issue because of the central location but there was plenty of capacity in the public car park and it was extremely close.
Very comfortable room - small but well thought out and beautifully furnished. Lovely reception from staff - super-helpful.
