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 KingdomWiFi but that was beyond the bnb control. An effort was made to provide a secondary WiFi access which is also to be commended.
The hostess was very hospitable and is clearly passionate about maintaining standards.

United KingdomOur contact was Cat, she could not have been more helpful and friendly. She met us at the property, was the main contact and she cooked the daily breakfast to order. It was a perfect place to stay if you are walking around Portland. The bus stop ( to and from Weymouth) is nearby and the SW costal path easily accessible. There is a carpark nearby but we didn’t need it.

The host Cat was amazing and very helpful, I can understand why the reviews are so good as nothing was too much trouble. The room was stunning as the views of the sea & coastline were impressive. Loved the downstairs balcony.

United KingdomWhile the terrace looks funky it's still very much a Victorian sort of B&B house on the inside with narrow carpeted hallways etc. The picture also makes it look so much closer to the ocean that it actually is..!
Exceptional customer service from Cat. The room was very clean, with a nice bathroom. The property features a cool roof terrace. Excellent value.

A really clean and nice place to stay with modern decoration in an old building on a quiet street with a few shops. Everything provided and the host was very kind enough to leave me breakfast to help myself when I had to depart very early.

United KingdomMajor downside for me was no iron. Luckily I had a friend nearby so I could use theirs. Would have been nice to know if and where to find wifi. However, i may have missed it.
Breakfast was better than expected. I thought it was continental, but there were cooked options so a bonus! I got lucky with the parking nearby, however not sure parking is very easy in the area. The Co-op and chippy nearby was handy!

United KingdomCar park nearby was very handy but a bit hit-and-miss on spaces. Could be tricky at a busier time of year. Room was up two flights - first set of stairs is quite narrow due to the stairlift, so a bit tricky to manage with luggage. Wifi was a little bit ropey at times. Room was a bit chilly, and Cat wasn't able to get the heating to come on.
Cat was really kind, welcoming and friendly - before and during the trip. Room had everything you need. Plenty of storage space. Bathroom was spacious and well-appointed. Location was great, view excellent. Enjoyed breakfast - great egg and bacon sandwich cooked fresh for me, and eggs benedict for my partner.
