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 KingdomThe house is a little shabby and needs some love. The light in the top bedroom didn’t work but had only been unscrewed which was an unnecessary scurry around bringing up a night light from another bedroom all in the dark. I found the duvet extremely hot and had to buy a lighter bed cover (so an alternative bedcover in the house for guests would be nice) The front door is very stiff and the keys also.
The kitchen was well equipped and the house was warm and cosy. Great location only a short walk to the high street. We spent Xmas as a family of 6 and there was plenty of room around the table. In the tv area some of us had to sit on the floor but there were plenty of cushions

SwitzerlandThe Staybeyond Team was very responsive on questions and emails, but the local service team did not show up at all to fix issues. The bathroom light did not work anymore after 5 days and even with two notifications through Staybeyond, the local team did not show up for two weeks to fix it.

United KingdomI can't recommend this place enough. My family of 6 had a perfect stay at the property. The kitchen Is well equipped so we could easily cook dinner, relaxing at home after a day of sightseeing. Furthermore, you can't beat the location. Summertown has a cozy centre whilst having all the essential shops.

AustraliaDespite being a user of vacation rental services for the past ten years, my experience at this property fell short of my expectations. To begin, the request for identification proof, including a photo, for verification was an unexpected requirement. In my extensive history with platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, such a practice has not been common, making this aspect somewhat inconvenient. Upon arrival, the cramped and noisy staircase posed challenges in navigating the property, especially with luggage or accompanying children. Furthermore, the room heater in one of the bedrooms emitted disruptive noises every night, impacting our sleep quality and overall comfort. A notable drawback was the absence of essential amenities like laundry detergent, body wash, and hair wash, necessitating additional expenses and time spent acquiring these basic necessities during our stay. Additionally, the request for a £250 bond, along with its delayed return 25 days after our stay, was an unprecedented experience for me. The extensive emails outlining legal duties and compliance, while appreciated, could potentially be condensed for a more user-friendly experience. Functional issues extended to the main door lock, particularly on frosty, rainy nights, causing delays and discomfort for my children. The key box's inconvenient placement at knee level further added to the challenges. I believe it is vital to highlight these concerns to enhance the experience for future guests.

United KingdomThere were some minor maintenance issues (e.g no light in the downstairs bathroom, mixer taps in the en-suite shower doesn’t work) which is a shame as the rest of the home is lovely.
Great location, easy to get into town by bus or waking, plus there was a direct bus to/from the train station which we convenient. The home is spacious, clean and has everything you’d need.
