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.).

CanadaWe both were having back problems so it was difficult to reach the coffee/tea fixing table that was about a foot off of the ground. Minor stuff and probably more our problem than English Country Garden.
The bed was very, very comfortable and it was lovely to have a little deck outside of our room. The room also had a seating area for two with a small table. Full size bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub too. I believe you could hike from the property as well as walk to a large pond.

United StatesWe understand that, while personnel commitments have been altered everywhere, a bit of breakfast would have been a nice option and we would have been happy to pay. It was clear when we signed on that there would be none so we were OK with that.
While the location was perfect for us, having a Highland Links tee time the next morning, that is but a benevolent accident of geography. When Jalal, who is exceptionally personable, showed us the King Room we were both blown away by the decor and spaciousness. The bed, sitting area, and bathroom were just what we needed. Wish we could have stayed another night but our plans required moving on. Curiously, our friend in Glace Bay was shocked to hear we stayed at the "Garden", as she stayed there and enjoyed it with the previous owner over ten years ago.

AustraliaThe mosquitos are something to be aware of. We arrived late afternoon and the insects were on the attack, thankfully no problem inside the accomodation. Set in grounds with gravel or grass leading to accomodation so not easy to roll luggage but host very willing to assist. Access to top floor is only by stairs.
The host was very welcoming.

CanadaThe room could not be darkened (especially problematic on a full more). It is not really very practical, either: no where to put your things, including that there is are drawers below the sink that you cannot not open (they were closed with nails). There are just a couple of hangers in the bathroom. There are so many nice figurines and such, but it makes it even less practical - all you can actually use a small table. The bath was amazing, but at the same time, it is impossible to take a shower without having water all over.
The property is nice (there is a small lake and also a trail up the hill). The location is very good for the eastern part of Cabot Trail (and amazing café just 2 min down the road, plus some shops). The room was bright (too much soo - see below) and had a nice little terrace. The best thing is the bath tub (at least in our room): you get to bath with a beautiful view (no matter what weather) which almost feel as if being outside. There are soooo many interesting books - like several small libraries. And the host let us stay at the properly after the check-out because of a business meeting we had - this was very kind of him.

GermanyAlthough the room was very nicely decorated it would be helpful if a couple of shelves could be put into the wardrobe. That would facilitate the placement of clothes.
The owner is really very friendly and gives good advice on places to visit, and possibilities for dinner and breakfast. We really liked that we could use the sitting areas in the house outside our own room. E.g. a very nice suite with a beautiful view on the lake. We could also use the kitchen area, and it was no problem at all to bring food and eat at nicely located tables in the general area. Our room was very nicely decorated and clean.

CanadaBathtub - I didn't check the pictures well enough and didn't realize there wasn't a shower. The bathtub is nice but hard to actually take a cleansing bath if you're used to a shower. There are small windows above the main windows that don't have curtains, so if it's a sunny morning and you're a sensitive sleeper the light might disturb you.
Really liked that it was right on the Cabot trail. The room was comfortable and very clean. The backyard and view is really nice.
