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 KingdomThe property is quite small, but anyone who knows Brixham will know that this is to be expected in the tight, winding streets that give the place it's charm, so this isn't really a fault - just something to be aware of.
Everything inside this property has been organised with meticulous care and attention to detail. The location couldn't be better - just a 3-5 mins walk from both the harbour/town centre in one direction and Brixham's most popular beach (complete with shop and bar) in the other. Mel gives super clear instructions on how to do loading/unloading/parking, so we found all this very easy to manage.

United KingdomThe stairs to the bedrooms are a bit steep but this is to be expected for a cottage of this age.
The cottage was very quaint. Well equipped kitchen if you wanted to stay in and cook. The shower was lovely and powerful. I was worried about it being so close to the road but the walls are so thick we didn't hear any traffic at night. Would highly recommend this property.

United KingdomVery cosy & cute, the property was a bit smaller than I had expected. It was a particularly hot weekend (host obviously can't plan this), a couple of moveable fans would have been very useful to make it more comfortable.
Location was fantastic. Cottage was well equipped. Clearly very caring host who had tried to think of everything to make the stay comfortable, with everything you need for self catering accomodation.

United KingdomNot much to complain about but we were surprised to find there was no freezer, only a fridge, so our G&Ts were never made since there was no ice (however the fridge was nicely chilled). The shower head seemed a bit too large for the shower size and we had to get the hang of enduring a quick cold splash before getting the hot water to come out; water also pooled in the bottom of the shower to a level that seemed would overflow, but never did and in fact drained away quickly once the shower was turned off. The cottage is on a relatively busy road so you do hear traffic from early on but it didn't disturb out sleep. The stairs had to be taken with care, being narrow, and the main bedroom floor's slant was fun first thing when getting out of bed in the mornings :-) I thought the cottage was supposed to be non-smoking but I could definitely detect a whiff of stale smoke in the bunk bed room each day, although I'm quite sensitive to cigarette smoke (hate it) - perhaps from a recent occupier.
The location of the cottage was excellent - 5 minutes' walk down to the harbour of Brixham. The cottage had everything we needed (including washing-up liquid, sponges, basic condiments, hairdryer (not used), iron, etc) and was spotlessly clean (you'd never guess it allows dogs, as no prior dog hair or smell was ever found). Being an old fisherman's cottage it's very small and a bit dark inside, although there are lots of lamps for additional light. Decor was very nicely done and quirky, and for the space the furnishings, sofa and dining table were great. The main bed was really comfortable with a choice of extra pillows. There was a cutely decorated second small bedroom with bunk beds for the kids but which we used as a dressing room (and the dog chose as her own!). The cottage is found behind a gate that serves a few other cottages sharing a courtyard and there were 2 sets of tables and chair with our cottage, although we weren't around much to ever use them. We had very good instructions from the owner about unloading our car at the cottage then parking up a short distance away; accessing the key via the lock box was also easy to do. Helpful info sheet was found inside the cottage with WiFi code, how everything worked and also dining recommendations.
