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 weather could have been better 🤣 Going for a meal at The Old Station House that is just up the road from The Old Rectory. Would definitely recommend staying clear of the place. Food was disgusting and attitude of the staff was just as bad……..
Fell in love with the place as soon as we arrived, such a lovely location and very friendly welcoming hosts. Stayed in the Coach House which was just so cute and cosy . It’s been done out very tastefully with lots of lovely little finishing touches…… Unfortunately it rained during our stay so didn’t get the chance to appreciate the lovely garden areas . Would definitely recommend it and hopefully we will return again soon 😊

United KingdomThis charming room is set apart from the main house on the first floor of the Coach House. The accommodation is compact, but the facilities are very cleverly integrated to make full use of the space whilst all fittings and appliances are to a high standard. A delightful stay with perfect hosts, despite the Devon rain!

United KingdomBoth the location and interior of the property were nothing short of spectacular. Everything, and I mean everything, was of exceptional quality giving every consideration to meeting your every need and then exceeding it! A genuine and warm welcome from the hosts and their polite and impeccably well mannered boys made us feel incredibly welcome in their beautiful family home. I look forward to a return stay.

Amy and Jarrad were so welcoming and went out of their way to help me and my daughter. I was particularly taken back by their willingness to put up a rail to help me access the building easier with my disability. The apartment had everything we needed and the grounds are stunning.

Great location and Amy and Jarrod were extremely friendly and helpful as were the menagerie of farmyard animals especially Coco the donkey. I would highly recommend this accommodation; characterful and practical. Idyllic setting. Will definitely visit again as we only scratched the surface of the surrounding area.
