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.).

Hosts Julie and David...welcoming, willing and fun to visit with. Their hospitality was the high point of our Wells/Glastonbury stop. Dinder is great location and situation for a stay in this somerset area. Cozy room, 5* bathroom, excellent breakfast...

AustraliaIt is very peaceful but restaurants and hotels are some distance away. probably not a good place to stay without a vehicle although a public bus passes the property.
The hosts were friendly and the property was comfortable with modern amenities. Nice place to relax after a busy day.

BelgiumNice warm welcoming and chats with David and Julie. Cosy little room with some outdoor chairs and table that unfortunately we only used briefly due to the weather. We were kindly provided with an extra stool to place our luggage on. Great breakfast. Nice 1 hour walk to Wells via public footpaths. Short walk to the George Inn in Croscombe.

United KingdomWe liked it all.
Lovely quiet location, very comfortable bed and David was the perfect host. Great to have a little fridge in the room. Super shower in the adjoining wet room. Breakfast was excellent, with home-made marmalade. And the stewed rhubarb was a hit with the yoghurt. We can also recommend dinner at The George, Croscombe, just a 10 minute walk away.

United KingdomEverything - I liked everything! What a splendid stay in an exceptionally peaceful, comfortable, and cosy b&b. I wish I could have stayed longer. The location is beautiful, not far from Wells by car or bus (or even on foot!). The room had a lovely feel to it, cosy and comforting, and the real coffee provided in the room was much appreciated. Milk and hot water were plentiful; the property has an excellent internet connection, too! Above all this, David was the most welcoming, warm, understanding, and conscientious host, and it was a pleasure to stay here and get to know him. I was genuinely sad to leave. I will not hesitate to stay here again in future, hopefully very soon!

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing to fault.
Everything exceeded our expectations. Our room and bathroom were a wow, and our back door opened into a lovely secluded garden. David and Julie were charming and so welcoming. Everything was thoughtfully provided without the need to request anything. The place was spotlessly clean and fresh, even down to the two daffodils in the vase that were replaced by 2 more fresh flowers. Breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious. We couldn't rate Middle Farm Cottage higher and plan to return in the summer if they will have us!
