How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing.
It was exactly what was promised. Hosted by Abi with such warmth and special touches. Our room was welcoming from the moment we entered. It was an oasis, really, and rather tastefully decorated. You can see the effort. Our host was very, very helpful with where to go and what to do, like walking routes, eateries etc. She took care to give special instructions how to get there and made sure we had a place to park. Unforgettable. If we ever returned to Cotswold, this would be our base. (We had rented a car which was a short bus ride away from Stroud train station. We had taken the train in from Stratford, London.) From The Hidden House, we drove to many scenic spots like Bourton-on-the-water, Stow-on-the-wold and even as far as Oxford!

Nothing, it was just perfect
The Hidden House is a perfect place. No matter if you want a slow holiday full of strolls in the nature or if you (like us) come to explore the Cotswolds, this place will be the place to book! Abi is a model host, extremely friendly and helpful with everything you will need. The room is cozy, the bed is like a cloud to sleep on, the bathroom has a 5 stars bathtub. Cherry on the cake the dogs that just make it feels like home!

Nothing. Everything was great
Great location, a 15 min walk down the hill into town. Abi the host is lovely, very welcoming and has great local knowledge which is very helpful and her two Basset’s are so chilled and friendly. We had forgotten our dog’s lead and Abi kindly lent us one of hers, which was above and beyond. Our room was perfect, the bed very comfortable with a choice of pillows and the shower was great.

The room with ensuite bathroom was beautifully decorated, spacious and had everything we needed and more! The host Abi was wonderful and helpful and so friendly yet also allowed us to have our own space when needed. The house resident Bassett hounds were an added lovely bonus - they were so friendly! Bed was really comfy too - couldn't recommend more if you need somewhere to stay in Stroud

Really great self service continental style breakfast though the host also offered to get additional items if needed. Room was perfect- bed comfy & en suite well appointed. Lovely touches, like tea & coffee facilities & wine. Host was helpful & friendly & the doggy hosts were a joy! A real bonus if you are like me & would love a dog but aren’t yet in the position to have one! Would definitely recommend!
