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 KingdomWhen we first arrived I thought the kitchen was a bit rustic, but this actually added to the charm of the place once we got familiar with our surrounding
We had a magical stay over Christmas we had the logs on the fire it was cosy and comfortable . Great location . John was really helpful especially when we needed help with the induction cooker. I fully recommend a stay here .

United KingdomA couple of the things in the description were not available (high chair, washing machine) although the host did arrange for his cleaner to do our washing for us and put a washing line up, it would have been nice to have access to the machine ourselves.
Getting into the property was very easy. Our host gave us recommendations of places to visit and things to do. He was always contactable which was really helpful. Incredible trampoline kept our 2 year old son very happy for the entire week!

United Kingdom* The change in check in time on the day which meant that we had to hang around for 2hrs. I also found the key safe very high on the wall of the porch. I am 5ft6 & couldn’t access it. We were not informed of the road closure very close to the house. * The lack of written instructions about the house & details of local shops and other possible interests on the island. * The lack of any hangers & places to store/hang clothes * the kitchen cupboard full of very very old packets of food.. some dating back to 2018
The house is large & comfortable with many nice touches. Excellent for a family with children. We loved the garden, the bbq and trampoline. All the negative things I have mentioned can easily be rectified.

United KingdomThe keybox to get into the property was very high up, we had trouble trying to see the numbers on the combination and to reach them to move them.
Stayed here with my mum for 28 days which is a long time to be somewhere, but never bored of the house or the location once. Even on cloudy days there was always a gorgeous sunset and the beach was only a 3ish minute walk away which was wonderful. The home itself was very comfortable to stay in and was nice and roomy all around. It also allows pets which seems to be a rarity, it let me take my cat with me instead of leaving him in a cattery which was a deciding factor for me. All around lovely time and very attentive host. John managed to keep in good touch with me even though there was a timezone difference at the time. Would love to stay again in future!

United KingdomJohn’s house was perfect for our Christmas break. We had plenty of space, the beds were comfy and everything we needed was there and we really appreciated that he had put up a Christmas tree and left a gift making it home from home for us. We were visiting family living on the island so for us the house was in a great location within walking distance of carols outside the church on Christmas Eve, the local pubs and watching the Boxing Day dip which some of the family braved!
