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 KingdomSmall shower room in pod. Pub next door was disappointing: Poor hygiene, basic menu and restaurant was mainly a child play area.
Loved the Pod and view.

The property is lovely, if you need to get away from the city.. prone to flooding. Left at 11 am and the road is covered with water 🤣

United KingdomBetween the bed and sofa was really dirty and in need of a good clean. Also a small toaster would be extremely handy as the food in the restaurant was some of the worst we have ever paid for sadly.
Great location and views. The pods were lovely and the staff were helpful.

United KingdomThe booking instructions were not clear and I had to phone the hotel the morning of the stay. On the booking site it says that check in details will be confirmed the night before and this wasn't the case.

United KingdomWe came a little earlier just have a look before we came back for check in and the river had flooded the area. This is a daily occurrence apparently, maybe this should be mentioned on the description. We left very early due to not knowing when it would flood again which spoilt it a little that we felt we had to rush off.
Love the uniqueness of the pods, they had everything you needed.

United KingdomWhen we checked in we couldn’t access the key safe box even though we tried the code that was send. Thankfully the staff at the pub linked to the pods were still there (just) and were able to help.
Pod was surprisingly bigger then expected. Very cosy and warm. Relaxing experience

United KingdomLovely pod that we stayed in, was comfy just bed was a bit soft for me (personal choice) my friend stayed on the sofa bed and said that was comfy. View was amazing! Was a little cold but once heating came on we were fine, we also used the heater that was in the wardrobe. Staff were lovely and the food in the pub that the pods are linked to eas amazing. Bathroom floor had a little bit of dirt but that was it. Will be back next summer! Thank you.

United KingdomAll amazing, nothing we didn't like :)
All staff were extremely accommodating, we ate for both tea and breakfast and all the food was delicious The pod was welcoming and cosy, it was hard to leave! Everything was very clean and more spacious than initially expected. The weather wasn't too great and a tad chilly outside, but in the pod it was warm -the provided heater wasn't necessary. A really lovely place to stay, thank you!

United KingdomNo option for breakfast at the pub, no facilities to make breakfast in the pod and no nearby cafe. Ground's were unkept outside pod. Bed a bit uncomfortable maybe new mattress needed. Door to bathroom needs attention.
Pub was nice, good food and friendly staff. Pod was clean and underfloor heating meant pod was warm.
