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 KingdomRooms were very well appointed with breath taking views across fields to Dartmoor it is a peaceful and idyllic spot. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were a good size; they were very clean and had a homely feel. There were plenty of plug sockets, a TV and tea and coffee making facilities which we took advantage of. There was plenty of storage, although we didn't need this as we only stayed 1 night as we were attending a wedding. The bathroom was spacious with a shower over the bath. We all took a shower in the morning and there was plenty of hot water. Toiletries were provided. There was free WiFi also. The room felt secure as there was a yale lock and we had a key for each room. We were able to park our car easily and the instructions given via text prior to our arrival, by Angela, were extensive we used Google Maps as our navigation and found the property easily. We arranged our breakfast the day before. Angela was extremely welcoming and friendly, a perfect hostess. Breakfast was amazing - full English with a choice of egg types; juice, tea, coffee, toast, cereals, jams - you name it it was on offer - most delicious.

United StatesWe loved our stay here! Angela was an incredible host, and we loved hearing her story and learning more about the B&B. Since there weren't other guests when we stayed, she was kind enough to move us to a larger room. Breakfast was amazing and our room was comfortable and clean.

SwitzerlandAngela was a very hospitalbe, welcoming and helpful host. She gave us great tips for places to visit and things to do. Her cooked breakfast was delicious, and there was additionally a great variation of cereals, yoghurts, and fruit. The room and bathroom were cosy and clean, and we instantly felt at home. Heathergate Cottage was easily reachable by car and is located in a calm, relaxing region close to the beautiful Dartmoor.

United KingdomNothing really to dislike but remember this is a working farm before booking, it is not in town
This is part of a working farmhouse converted into part BnB. The room was comfortable. Bed was soft. Cooked breakfast and cereal, fairly standard fayre. The proprietor was friendly and welcoming. Access is via a C class road and farm track but is concreted outside the house area so the car didn't get stuck. Views from the farmhouse are exceptional with little sign of other buildings distracting the countryside.

NetherlandsAlthough the village is nearby (400 m?) you need to walk around (1500 m?). I didn’t mind, as you will hardly have trafic on the road but just keep it in mind. Shower needs a minute to heat up but it will be nice and warm!
Angela is super friendly, and if she’s with the animals at the farm will make sure you still can get in and out easily. The family room as well as the living/breakfast room are spacious and the view from in particular the bathroom over the fields is very nice.

United KingdomDrive is long and a bit rough so this isn't for you if you're precious about your very posh limited suspension travel car! A normal car like our mini is fine though.
Breakfast was superb, our bed was superbly comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for the shower. For great food at a very reasonable price go the Fox and Hounds rather than the 2 closer pubs. Landlady is super friendly and helpful.
