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 KingdomFew small pet hairs on dining seats but that's because I don't own pets and a welcome pack with WiFi code,taxi numbers etc would be handy.

United KingdomThe welcome pack was not there to let guests know about all kinds of things like where the password for wifi is on the back of BT , how to use the TV or washing machine. Where good places to eat and drink are, dog friendly too ? The access to place are exterior metal stairs that have poor tread when wet . When do bins go out as the bin was rammed full before we got there ! Contact numbers in emergency ?
The location was perfect with the high street across the car park, the fee of less than £6 a day if you pay online for the whole week. The place was very well decorated and furnished with all mod con. Lots of dog friendly places to eat and the beaches are dog friendly until May then there are designated ones after that.

United KingdomThe property listing did not make it very clear and early enough that access is only via the car park TO THE REAR of 36 Mary Street. This info was buried in the section "how to get there" - as I traveled by train, I didn't read all of what appeared to be driving instructions. Also, the sign at the entrance to No.36 regarding 36A was worded ambiguously. Finally, it should be made very clear up front (rather than at the end of the "property features" list, which people will not always read to the end) that this property is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues - thankfully not my problem, but I still had to be careful climbing/descending the steep metal stairs in the rain. Three phone calls to Sykes Cottages over the course of 90 minutes (with long gaps in between) with three different people did nothing to resolve the confusion over how to access the property. It was the owner and her partner who were the most helpful/responsive in resolving the situation, once I got to talk to them (they called me after Sykes Cottages EMAILED them).
The responsiveness of the property owner and her partner once they were made aware that there was a problem. The property itself exceeded my expectations.
