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.).

JerseyKitchen knives need sharpening and would be nice to include salt as did provide tea and sugar. Slight intermittent noise from water system during the night which wasn't there the previous year - not enough to keep you awake or wake you but noticeable in bedrooms - just something that needs tweaking.
Convenient location for course that I was on with my friends - nice house - well provided - heating much improved on last year (thermostat worked).

United KingdomThe WiFi is really bad and if you need to participate in any online meetings then you're best bet is to stand just outside the front door and rely on any mobile data signal you can latch onto. However this was literally the only negative and not something I'd lower the overall positive review for.
The house was lovely and well kept, it was clean tidy and so much thought had been put into it. I'd recommend taking a stairgate with you if you're travelling with children, there was one available but it didn't have the wall spinners (if you have kids you'll know what I mean, I have no idea what they're actually called!) The space was well laid out and felt homely as soon as we walked in. Its advertised as a very very small space (under 100square foot) this is inaccurate, the place is really quite spacious

United KingdomHonestly it was perfect
Absolutely stunning cottage, cosy and warm , plenty of space and storage , spotlessly clean and a very well equipped kitchen also in stunning surroundings with supermarkets and ammenities near by . We were visiting the area for a dance competition and it was so nice to return to the cottage in the evenings and have a home cooked meal instead of the usual pizza sat on a bed in a hotel room , will definitely book again if we are in the area and would love to visit again in the summertime PS added bonus it was pitch black outside and perfect for star gazing x
