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 KingdomI can't find fault with anything.
This is a really lovely property in a fabulous location. It is has been beautifully designed and furnished with interesting touches. The shower is spacious with plenty of hot water. The kitchen while small is well equipped (but there are so many restaurants nearby the kitchen was not needed for our stay). It was extremely clean and well maintained and provided a warm and comfortable base for our stay in mid Feb. There is a lovely terrace but it was unfortunately too chilly and breezy to use during our stay. It is very close to the Cathedral, Castle, Steep Hill etc (literally a 3 min walk) and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants and cinema etc close by. The hosts are very responsive and all arrangements were very easy. I would highly recommend a stay, we will definitely return.

United KingdomLuckily we had checked the location of the property on Street View before we arrived. I think we would have missed the turning without having done that! There was nothing we didn't like
The location was excellent, with a very easy walk to both the castle and cathedral and near to a good range of shops/cafes/restaurants/bars. The provision of a parking space was a bonus. The property was clean and comfortable and the quirky décor added to the charm of the house. Plenty of information was provided which was much appreciated.

United KingdomOnly very minor, the kettle could do with a refresh.
The location is incredible, couldn't be better. The property is very unique and it is lovely that the lincolnshire theme is throughout the house. The upcycled items make the property really special. The hosts were very informative and I felt prepared with everything I needed to know before I arrived. They were very understanding.

United KingdomNothing to dislike
The cottage was clean and well maintained and reflected the photos shown on the website. I also loved the industrial decor, it was fun working out the origin of many of the fixtures and fittings. The location is exceptional close to the castle and cathedral.

United KingdomPerfect location, 150 yards from the castle. Nice and quiet street. The property is cosy but trendy, it has everything you need and it was really clean. Mike and Jane sent helpful messages before check-in and gave us clear instructions for accessing the property and parking. We stayed for two nights and we would definitely recommend others looking to visit Lincoln to stay here. Thank you for such a pleasant stay 😊

The property was spotless on arrival and had everything we needed. Our daughter loved having her bed up in the little mezzanine in the bedroom! Would recommend for anyone staying in Lincoln.

United KingdomThe only thing I could say we didn’t like was having to leave after only three days as we wish we’d booked a few extra days
It had great character , perfect size for the 2.5 of us . And the cathedral bells softly chiming add a wonderful atmosphere when you rise in the morning and first walk out.
