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 room we stayed in we could hear the people above us walking and thus made the floor above creak When we stayed the kitchen wasn’t running a full service due to some broken equipment so we had a very limited menu which would have been nice to have been forewarned in advance so we could have made other arrangements before we arrived this also affect breakfast
Lovely location Very clean

PortugalThe bathroom , although functional, requires a massive upgrade. It is a bit off the beaten track and the roads in/out are in an atrocious state. Televisions also need upgrading. TV reception was more miss than hit.
Evening meal & breakfast were fine. Tucked away down a quiet little lane. Pleasant surroundings. Staff was incredibly friendly& welcoming. Room was clean.

United KingdomThe chef did not appear happy to be serving up our roast dinner on Sunday at 3pm. In fact, if it were not for the welcoming from other staff, my husband and I felt uncomfortable .
The staff were all so kind and welcoming apart from the Chef.

United KingdomI liked everything. A TV in the bedroom and maybe some type of kitchen facility would have made it 11/10.
Superb location, we stayed in Stable 5 and it was a fantastic location with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Breakfast was cooked on demand. Very fresh and located on the orangery.

United KingdomFacilities and comfort l have marked down as the shower was poor, cracked bath put of using it and room size very small for a king bedroom no seating area just enough room for luggage overnight stay doable but not for any further length of time. Low ceiling with no space to move was claustrophobic with the main road to the adjoining lodges outside the door of the bedroom we were concerned about noise and felt rooms 6-7 should be one room as others in the same stable block, also heard noise from room above thank goodness the occupants were relatively quiet. Felt overpriced on room size.
That our furry friend was not charged additional felt the price was right for bed and breakfast included just disappointed that the pictures on the website did not highlight the rooms disadvantages, roadway directly outside and no space to easily move around the bed walked straight into it from the doorway and edged around the foot to get into any kind of space😕 was expecting more comfort looking a little tired in decor too. Dinner and breakfast were good and the staff we're very friendly great welcome and service throughout. Beautiful setting in the countryside.

I was really worried but we have been upgraded, service and the standard exceeded my expectations and we had an amazing weekend! Great standard, super clean, delicious and big breakfasts. Special thanks to Julie from reception, who handled this situation perfectly! Even our puppy had a special treat and gift waiting for her. Lovely place, great people, can't wait to go back! Thank you
