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 KingdomSteps to access property,on reflection would have booked a property with better access even though cottage was comfortable. Although booking.com says free parking this was not the case as roads too narrow Could do with a shelf in en suite as toiletries kept falling into sink

United KingdomThere were security lights to help navigate the steep steps to the front door, but they had been switched off accidentally probably from inside the property. Having a torch was useful as we arrived at night. After that, the light was kept switched on and no problems at all. As everyone has said, the steps down are steep; not a problem for us; we had read the description and we had seen the other reviews so knew what to expect.
The location could not have been any better. Right on the quayside above some lovely restaurants and bars with views over the harbour bowl. We arrived in the dark and the view of the lights around and in the harbour as you open the gate to enter the property just takes your breath away. The owners/managers are very keen to make sure that there is nothing you need to make your stay perfect; they called before we arrived and the day after to see if all was well and the information we received before arrival was really comprehensive and easy to access.

United KingdomThe fact it shows this nice terrace in the pictures, but it isn’t that appealing. Also you have to go up a narrow set of stairs to get to it.

United KingdomThe access to the apartment is very steep and narrow. This could have been clearer. And also work is going on above the BBQ area making it unusable due to noise during our stay but that's no fault of the host.
View from the lounge is excellent and a great location to be central to brixham. It's clean with everything you need and the host could not have been better

AustraliaNot really a dislike as we were expecting it, but the stairs at the rear of the property where you access the unit are REALLY narrow and steep. we are pretty mobile so not a big problem for us, but those less mobile may struggle.
Great location and plenty to see. plenty of room for just the two of us, and the property is very well set up. great property for a few days.

United KingdomThe steps were particularly steep. The ad did mention that there were steps but it needs to be made clear exactly how steep they are and the fact that they are very dangerous when carrying luggage down them. Also we had no Wi-Fi for the whole of our stay despite reporting this as soon as we arrived.
