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 entry system is electronic and requires you to download an app. For us it wasn’t straightforward, but worked fine after the first evening. The bigger towels are quite small. Otherwise, we had a great stay.
Clean, well equipped house, only a few minutes walk from Winchester city centre. Really comfortable beds and enough seats in the sitting room and dining room for everyone. Basics supplied in the kitchen which is always good. Also hand soap and shower gel.

United KingdomNothing! It was all just perfect!
The house was in the perfect location to walk into and explore Winchester. It was super clean, spacious and light. We were a group of 7 friends on a catch up weekend and I’m so glad I found this house as it made for a very special weekend. Lots of seating space both around a large dining table and lounge. It was beautifully decorated with lots of little extras like toiletries and tea and coffee. Beds were super comfy and it was lovely to have the option of 7 single beds. Parking for 2 cars was appreciated too. Communication and support with any enquiries are as prompt and helpful too. Thank you to Esther and Taylor for our stay, we absolutely recommend and will return.

United KingdomHad a problem with the television as did not seem to be able to get everyday channels (BBC or ITV). There did not seem to be an aerial. My friends and I were out for 8 to 10 hours during the day in the Christmas Market and sightseeing and just wanted to chill in the evenings with a glass of wine and watch a bit of TV but that was not to be. We did watch the news on iPlayer and if you have your own log in from home you can watch Netflix etc (which we didn't have).
Excellent location. The house was very clean, spacious and warm. The host was extremely accommodating, allowing us to enter the property slightly earlier and also allowed us to leave slightly later.

The house is in an excellent locations and has the benefit of off road parking which is rare in Winchester. The House was exceptionally tidy, warm and extremely comfortable. And the hosts were very helpful and communicative before and during our stay. All in all, and excellent place to stay and one we would highly recommend.

JerseyWe received a number of key codes which were invalid and we had to contact the manager to resolve this.The second key code never worked,which was inconvenient. Physical keys as a bs k up would have made matters much easier.The bedrooms facing the Road were very noisy from early morning with traffic.Although fans were provided we needed to keep the windows open as it was very hot weather. It did not prove possible to view live TV channels,despite some telephone help from the property manager.
Very convenient location for town and the university (we were moving our daughter in for her second year). The house was very well-presented,equipped and spacious.

United StatesMy only complaint is the keys -- downloading an app and setting that up was a little challenging for us while traveling with spotty wifi etc. Would have preferred a more traditional route for keys for those traveling from abroad to make it less stressful.
Great location. Great little home with comfortable accommodations and overall very clean and tidy. Just as pictured. Overall the owners communicated efficiently and the place is great! We recommend it.

United KingdomI think for what the property is listed for, not a lot. It isn't a cosy cottage with a roaring fire, but It didn't profess to be.
Great location, only a stone's throw from the centre of town. A nice property that's clean and functional, plenty of space and comfortable. Easy access and great communication from the owners.
