Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing at all. It was wonderful.
I loved absolutely everything at the Queens Arms, from the staff who welcomed us on arrival, to the friendly farewell. We will most definitely be back. The food was lovely, the best mushroom soup I have ever had. The room was beautiful. We actually stayed in two rooms. We had to extend our stay suddenly so had to move rooms. Both were beautifully decorated, the little touches like the books, the fresh milk outside the room when we woke up, the fudge, big towels. The whole place was so relaxed and friendly, nothing was too much trouble but at no point was it intrusive. Breakfast was yummy. An absolute gem of a place to stay.

United KingdomHowever shower head was the large unmovable overhead type. Evening Food Menu a tad restricted if you stayed there more than a couple of nights. Food quite pricey. Particularly the desserts. The pastry on my egg custard tart was like cardboard! Generally Food good.
Good sized bedroom with a Super King bed. Large bathroom with walk in shower and stand alone bath tub.

United KingdomIt is hard to find fault as it was such a nice atmosphere and the staff were really helpful and welcoming. The menu didn't have much option for vegetarians and maybe this would be something to consider.
We had the complementary continental breakfast. It was nicely presented with thoughtful options. The service was relaxed and helpful. Likewise the evening meal was enjoyable and the atmosphere relaxed. The location was outstandingly beautiful and both rooms and restaurant were very stylishly presented.

United KingdomThe room itself was not particularly comfortable with nowhere easy to sit on to work etc. To watch TV you have to get into bed. It was also not very soundproofed, with a lot of noise from other rooms above and guests entering and exiting the communal hallway
The staff were all really lovely, it is super dog friendly and the meal/service in the restaurant was excellent

United KingdomWe decided to not go for the burns Night special menu so we sat in a separate Dining room which was perfect as we were able to chat and catch up with friends ....the only downside was that the service was a little slow and we decided to go to bed before pudding was offered. We do of course understand that the main focus had to be on the Burns Night guests and had we been there on a normal day we are sure all would have been perfect.
The place is well decorated and in lovely countryside . The staff are very friendly and welcoming . The beds are very comfortable and the shower was very good too.

GuernseyThe front door was quite difficult to get out of with suitcases. One staff member helped us open the door but then walked off. We managed to get out, but struggled.
The room was beautifully decorated and warm. Very quiet location. A table was automatically booked for us for dinner. I was not sure when I booked whether it was going to be standard pub food. Our meal was superb. I would definitely stay there and eat there again. The staff were spot on. All the staff were extremely courteous and smiled.

United KingdomThe steep stair case leading to the rooms, although the staff were very helpful in carrying cases etc up to the room.
Breakfast, Simple Continental included, cooked food at extra cost. Suited me just fine, although the terms only offered "one cup of coffee" within the included price, which seems a bit mean, takes the shine off it!

United KingdomThere was no shower gel provided. The staff though quite professional seemed aloof and cold, and it would have made our evening more enjoyable if they were a bit more friendly.
The view was stunning, and the food was exceptional. The beds were EXTREMELY comfortable, and we were impressed by how clean and well maintained the place was.
