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 StatesRoom is small. Nowhere to put your bags except on the floor. Bathroom shower was small.
The hosts were super friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They gave us lots of ideas for what to do during our travels. We tried some of their recommendations and were very pleased! Breakfast was as lovely as the pictures promised.

United KingdomI'm not even sure you could do anything to make it 'better' without compromising the property... it is what it is - a true country cottage guest house. Friendly and helpful owners, that make you feel so welcome, you wonder if you're really just a 'guest' and not a member of the household.
Breakfast is a veritable banquet - no cooked breakfast, but more than made up for by selection of cereals, and fresh fruit salad, yoghurts and toast with local and homemade preserves. Breakfast is served to your schedule,

New ZealandI Did NOT want to go! I loved everything. I have travelled on and this opinion is the same. Ivy Cottage is one in a million.
Everything! Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was done to perfection, Even the special daily calendar was set correctly before anyone sat down to breakfast......I must correct this A Break Feast.

United KingdomWe stayed as a group on our way to Glastonbury. The location was perfect, as were the hosts who made us feel right at home and showed us where everything was in the kitchen for the morning and how to work the shower etc. We all agreed our beds were so comfortable! We’ll definitely be looking to stay again for longer than a night!

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
We were spending the night before going to Glastonbury festival. Perfect place to stay. Chris and Di were so friendly and made us feel welcome immediately. The cottage is a gem and so are the owners. They booked a table for us at the local pub and we had a wonderful meal there. Peaceful night’s sleep and an excellent continental breakfast set us up for the day. Thank you both for a wonderful stay and good luck to you for the future.

Situated in a beautiful and quiet location added the extra bonus the the old well maintained and relaxing cottage. Host exceeded my expectations I would say. After a long exhausting day, you don’t want endless forms to tick boxes with can and can’t do things. You want a cup of tea and a short friendly chat before setting off to your room. Exactly what this place has to offer.

United KingdomThe very very narrow lanes and tractors! Nothing that can be done about that.....but maybe advise guests to use a small car, if possible.
The location was a little more rural that we expected, but our hosts recommended a nearby pub for meals. The Ring o bells.........it was fantastic. The wildlife was a real bonus and we loved watching the swallows, house martins and swifts. The cottage was absolutely unique and full of character, as were our hosts. Di and Chris did so much to welcome us into their very lovely home and gave us an experience over and above what we imagined. Thank you so very much. We loved it. The breakfasts were great and we specially liked the fresh fruits, artisan bread and gorgeous homemade jams.

Diana and Chris made us very welcome, as did their two cats: peanut and Fergel. The bedrooms are cozy, the power shower is worthy of its name, and there was an excellent selection of homemade jams for breakfast. There is also a lovely "hare" theme throughout the house.
