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.).

Beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable property. I needed to work but there was enough room for my partner to chill. Kitchen was small but had everything you need to make a meal. Felt like a tiny taste of luxury. Would highly recommend this property and will stay here again (if I can) next time I am in Lincoln.

United KingdomI really have nothing to add here. If really pushed, place some shower gel in the bathroom. But hey, everyone takes their own anyway!
The Dower House was an exceptional place to stay. We have travelled and stayed in dozens of properties in recent years and can quite honestly say this was the best without doubt. The host was very friendly, the room quiet and the garden relaxing. We'll be back for sure.

United KingdomNothing not to like. Perhaps would benefit by having a bigger bed, but that's only because that's what we're used to. Mattress also a little soft for me but again personal preference.
The setting was beautiful. We felt like we were in a French chateaux in the country. Loved the period features and very spacious apartment and well equipped throughout. Immaculately clean.. All the additional little extras like milk, selection of teas and coffees and breakfast provided were nice little touches. The location was ideal. Meant that we could walk into the centre and avoid the parking fees. Loved the garden. Really appreciated all the work that had gone into it. So pretty at night with all the lights. The host was very friendly and accommodating and helped us check into our apartment. If visiting again wouldn't hesitate to return to the Dower house.

Beautiful property. Apartment very well equipped and all done to a very high standard. Friendly and helpful host on site but not in your face. Probably the best short let we've stayed in. My wife really liked the coffee cake especially as it's the one cake I don't like!

Where do I start, from the moment we pulled up we couldn’t believe how beautiful the building was! Neil our host was a little superstar even taking time out to show us round other apartments in the building and telling us all about his backstory. This by far has been the best property we’ve ever stayed in, impeccably clean and comfortable! Neil even provided us with nibbly bits in the kitchen and lots of tea, coffee and milk. We honestly can’t wait to come back! 100% recommend the Dower House Apartments you certainly won’t be disappointed!
