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 KingdomOur only tiny minuscule gripe was the kettle needs a descale or replacing. Could taste it in the teas and coffee, but be fair most places are the same.
Lovely quiet little spot, sheltered garden area for a bit of privacy. Nice , clean and modern. Tasty snacks left, nice to have coffee, tea and milk all sorted and. It have to worry about anything.

United KingdomEntering from the side door, I just felt a little shy 🤭 everything was welcoming you after entering the lodge. Only bed was too hard 🙄
Cozy place in the garden. So sweet owners, welcoming. Milk, juice and beer provided in the fridge. Lovely stay, home away home. Floor heating was lovely (i was okay but my partner loves hot, not warm). I just struggled to turn up digital thermometer but finally managed. Crisps was on the table. Living room was large. Perfect clean bedding and towels. So what else 🥰 thanks Sophie and Neil

United KingdomNothing to improve on.
Felt like a home from home, super cosy and had great facilities. Nice and secure and had own privacy away from the main house. Location was also great, only 15-20 minutes to Harry Potter and a local town centre nearby. Loved the little touches on arrival and selection of teas, coffees, hot chocolate and the extras in the fridge, vey thoughtful.

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing we didn’t like. The property had a microwave & fridge which were so handy to have when we arrived but if I really had to pick one thing we could have done with, was an electric ring/hob for cooking- that’s really not essential though as most people probably wouldn’t need this.
Everything, it was wonderful, very comfortable & cosy. Very clean and had home from home facilities. Comfy bed and bedroom was nice and dark.
