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 KingdomThere really isn’t anything that was negative.
It was perfect, a lovely place to stay with a beautiful view. Good communication, directions and information and easy access. The bed was comfy, kitchen well equipped and all was just as you’d hope it would be. Dog friendly and secure parking.

United KingdomWe stayed for 2 nights, at a cost of £304, the price was fine, but we weren’t allowed in until 4pm, we messaged and asked if it was ok if we arrived at 3pm, they declined our request, thus we had to drive in the dark down country lanes, we had to vacate by 10 am, we have stayed at many cottages in the lakes, mostly being allowed in between 1pm and 3pm. We basically lost a full day, there were also a lot of rules about stripping the bed and placing the sheets and towels into a bag, making sure all pots were washed, dried, and put away, we always do this anyway, we don’t need to be told, must say it was a bit of a rush in the morning of our departure, but hey ho.
Lovely little cottage, well equipped, a little out of the way, but that was fine.

United KingdomWe do not have a bad word to say.
A perfect stay for 2. Great location. Everything we needed. The little touches of the shampoo/ shower gel were much appreciated and having a dressing table mirror at the right height were noted. This is a beautiful little house.

United KingdomThe bed was quite poor as the mattress not great and could do with being a split mattress like hotels do so one person doesn’t disturb the other. Pillows could have been more plump. Bit of rising damp present near front on house visible inside with some water showing near the front door. Could do with a small little shower shelf for shampoo and shower gel items whilst in the shower.
We loved the design and the cosiness of the place. Good heating and equipment and good internet with Netflix available a great plus.

United Kingdomthe size of the living room/kitchen- was a squeeze on the one sofa. the location is ok but very much out of the way of everything. having to strip the bedding and a somewhat passive aggressive warning for pet owners made us very paranoid. scuff marks on paint work needs looking at. would have been nice to have a bath.
I liked the decor and feel of the property. the bedroom was very spacious and bed really comfy
