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.).

Everything was perfect. The room was perfectly clean, spacious, warm and the beds were very comfy. Top quality shower and bathroom. Andy and Christine were both very welcoming since we got there, making sure we had the most peaceful weekend away from home. Our breakfast next morning was super delicious and cooked by Christine and Andy - yummy homemade english breakfast. We will definitely come back when we are again in the area. Thanks for everything!

There is nothing to dislike.
I am a repeat visitor to the Riseden. The location was the initial attraction as I’ve family close by. Now I know I can book and be sure of a warm welcome. Everywhere is spotless, comfortable beds and linens. Updated modern bathrooms. All you need to make a cup or tea or coffee in your room. Nice extra touches like a hair dryer and ironing board. Lots of clothes hangers and storage if your stay is week long. Delicious breakfasts served in a sunny and bright room with garden views. A community fridge if you need one

Everything was perfect, so there are no negative comments to leave
I stay in hotels and B&Bs 2 - 3 times a week, and I don't think I've ever had a comfier bed! Really nice room with a very modern bathroom, and everything was immaculately clean.. A pleasant outlook from the window and a quiet location. Really friendly and welcoming hosts. I can't rate this place highly enough!

Nothing to dislike at Riseden B&B or just the fact we couldn’t stay longer.
This hospitality taken to the next level. Christine and Andy are the nicest, most welcoming people. The family room is perfect with two separated rooms for parents and child, so spacious, clean, comfy, with plenty of storage space and literally any equipment you can think of. Our host even bought a bedrail ahead of our stay as they knew our son tended to fall out of bed. The breakfast is delicious and we appreciated the family feel and chats at the B&B. We’ll be back for sure!

Perfect balance between a homely BnB feel and a luxury room experience. Probably the nicest BnB room I've ever stayed in! Andy and Christine were wonderful hosts, the breakfast was lovely and it was a short drive or long walk into town, both of which we did. Hoping we'll get the chance to return again soon!
