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 KingdomThere was nothing that any of our group didn't like! My only observation would be that a larger BBQ would be useful.
Everything! The space was perfect for our family group, and the children loved the freedom of the open spaces. The rooms were beautifully furnished, but also really homely and comfortable. All appliances etc. were in working order, and the Aga came in useful for some family meals around the huge dining table. The outside covered seating area was a fabulous space to sit in during the evenings, and the warm throws and comfy cushions were a lovely touch.

United KingdomWow, what an incredible experience! Our stay at the beautiful lodge was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The lodge itself was stunning, with breathtaking views and cosy, stylish interiors. The amenities were top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. We felt like royalty throughout our stay. The location was also ideal, surrounded by nature and tranquillity. It was the perfect getaway to relax and recharge. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday retreat. We're already planning our next visit! 10/10, hands down!

United KingdomThe room (gamekeeper’s room) was quite small and felt very dark, the two small windows at floor level were blocked by two unnecessary chairs (room was too small for the chairs) the other window and the door both had frosted glass which didn’t let in much light. I realise this was probably why the lovely host had all the lights on in the room when we were first shown it. Felt just a little bit claustrophobic The decor was lovely but a wee bit too busy for a small room. We had two friends staying in the Butler’s room which was more spacious light and airy with access to a beautiful private sitting area in a walled garden. When checking booking later we realised the prices were the same so we would absolutely Return to Willington Lodge but not to our room. We had no internet connection. Each time we tried to connect it said move closer to the source I.e Willington lodge kitchen or courtyard. Which we couldn’t do This was disappointing as my husband needed the internet when we were staying. He had to sit by the open door to get a connection. Also our 4/5 G didn’t work in the room either.
Stunning lodge. Gorgeous surroundings. Lovely host. Very nice good quality breakfast. Comfortable bed and beautiful decor.

United KingdomAbsolutely everything was perfect. Looking to stay here again soon! Highly recommend!
Wow where do I start! We had the most wonderful time staying at Willington lodge. The moment we arrived we were greeted by the loveliest of host’s and made to feel very welcome. The host’s were more than accommodating and nothing was ever too much. During our stay we made the most of enjoying the beautiful grounds and relaxed in the walled garden. Our room was beautiful and as for the bed. The comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in. Everything about the room was perfect. Looking forward to our next stay and the most tasty breakfast by far! I can’t sing this places praises enough! Thank you so much for making our stay a special one.

United KingdomWe loved every detail of this amazing property. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
Absolutely gorgeous building and grounds. Tastefully renovated, with attention to detail. Exceptionally clean. Amazing hosts who were very kind, thoughtful and helpful. Amazing time spent in the sun soaked garden. The children loved the pets walking around too. Everything ran very smoothly from start to finish. The perfect little get away. Breakfast in the courtyard was delicious, and an experience to remember. We all loved our stay and enjoyed it so much. Peaceful and quiet too.

United KingdomIf you are scared of spiders you might struggle as with all older buildings, this had a few hanging around, but they were the spindly variety, not very mobile and didn’t bother us.
Lovely property, very pretty, nice back garden with plenty of places to sit, in addition to outside sitting area for each room and an inner courtyard. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They moved our breakfast without fuss when we couldn’t decide whether to breakfast outside when rain was threatening. The room had all we needed for refreshments (various free teas, coffee, fresh milk, biscuits, plus additional drinks and snacks available from the mini bar if desired). The room was clean and comfortable. Lots of options for breakfast. No other meals available but we got a takeaway delivered to our outside patio easily enough. A few resident animals, I came across a laid back dog, 2 cats, a couple of horses and a few chickens, but none of them were invasive if you don’t want to be close to them.
