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.).

Peacefull, quiet location, with spacious apporionment, in rural area. Staff (Mel) very friendly and helpful. Facilities were good but (when there) TV not working - though videos provided - and showers (one anyway) a bit hot! Would highly recommend and likely return when next in area.

United KingdomLaundry facilities is better elsewhere. Showers are either freezing cold or boiling hot. Thereś supposed to be a minimum temperature of 25% - I cannot remember the specifics around that.
Always enjoyed the time here and always wish I could stay longer. It is a great getaway and retreat experience.

South AfricaThe stairs to get to my room. After a full day of walking was not ideal. A little far from city centre so the only option is to taxi in causing it to be more expensive after the unexpected expense
Well run, efficient and not to busy

United KingdomShower issues - still being addressed and notified. Bring your own food, the options at the restaurant are only the standardised versions if you are wanting to save money. Handmade sandwiches are not offering a wide selection and does not offer alternatives for vegans or those looking for other basic meals. (as stated very basic)
It is based on a farm with the option to wonder around for free. There is animal feed available if interested, a restaurant/café which is nice to pop into but only offers the basics within the shop for those residing here. However the restaurant does offer amazing food. Its idyllic, quiet and peaceful, a good place for a retreat or to go somewhere if you are a travelling artist or writer.

United KingdomWe hoped the on site winery would be open, so may be useful to be clearer of seasonal opening hours. The breakfast in the cafe could be improved, but we'd caught them the day after a big wedding so may just be everyone was a bit tired :)
Lovely super accommodating staff and great value for money for a cheap and cheerful stay surrounded by animals

United KingdomIt would be good to have a single room at this offer, but that would be applicable across the board. There was a small stair that tripped me up due to camouflaged carpets, but that is just more of an fyi. The booking website states breakfast is included but I had to pay the full standard amount.
Breakfast was superb, great caffetiere given, quiet and calm, tucked away from the world and a place to rejuvenate oneself. The farm was really nice to be in and to see the vineyards as well. Having less access to bad foods was a positive and really helped me feel a lot better overall within personal well being.

United KingdomOne person smoking marijuana on the job it seemed but outside the premises. There is no proper laundrette facility for the guests although I was offered the use of what was available but left after two dries with wet clothes causing mildew in my luggage and clothes.
It is a beautiful calm atmosphere during the time I visited. It has a little farm and vineyard, a small farm shop and cafe, and is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, perfect for the souls that want to rejuvenate themselves in peace. Guests here were respectful of each other and did not intentionally try to cause trouble as I have had personal experience of with many other hostels. The showers were separate from the room, room share with 3 or 4 other people kept the temperature of the room at the right level. Any more people and it would have been overheated. Conversations had with other people concur in similar ideas. It is a place where you have the option to switch off from technology. Smoking is outside the premises. Only one person seen drinking one can of beer on the premises within public areas only. Other niggles mentioned to the people running the place were made up in other ways and were also mentioned to me by guests but dutifully dealt with. Food is superb. And I appreciated the cafetière of coffee on the last day, a nice alternative!

Super friendly and helpful reception staff. The kitchen and shared areas were so clean and cosy. I really loved the sunroom. It was quiet and I had the whole dorm room to myself which was a lovely surprise. I also enjoyed walking around the adjoining farm the next morning and seeing the farm animals.
