How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Thoroughly enjoyed the continental breakfast served by host James. Bedroom with standard size double bed was comfortable and very clean. En suite shower room very clean and well equipped with excellent shower. Supper taken at The Bell in the village was excellent and so too the Amalfi in Nailsworth, both on hosts' recommended list.

There was no fresh/cooked breakfast (so no English breakfast which would be fitting) as they were providing only some croissants, and toast if you would ask. No eggs or cheese or something savoury just sweets. The French press coffee was OK but no other choice but tea. In our minds, breakfast in the UK includes English breakfast or something different to croissants and jams. There was some little yogurt though and it was overall OK I guess.
Very good room, it was modern and generally well made inside with nice furniture and fittings. It was on the smaller size and had no wardrobe so we left our clothes in the suitcases.

Nothing of note: lacking a slightly longer kettle cord; a TV with a proper channel guide you can make sense of; a shelf in the shower; an egg or two at breakfast.
Nice location in the heart of the Cotswolds. Clean and comfortable room with the usual tea and coffee extras. Friendly hosts. Quiet. Spacious car park off road. Thermostatically controlled heating. Nice shower with good pressure. Dog-friendly room with two bowls and snacks for our boy (reasonable one-off cash fee, now pretty much standard). Thriving Indian restaurant/local pub down the road. Out and about, Coaley Peak and Painswick Beacon (recommended by our host) offer truly fabulous views, as does Butterow Hill overlooking Stroud, all short distance from easy parking.

The £25 charge to bring a dog
The room was lovely. Great to have our own entrance and it had everything we needed in it. The location was only a short drive from Tetbury where we were visiting friends. The host was very friendly and really accommodating about our dietary requirements and breakfast.
