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 KingdomWould have liked to have taken advantage of the good weather by using the outside sitting area but wasn’t very comfortable. The outside space could have done with a little tlc.

Beautiful cottage and ideally situated. The place is perfect, hot water, lovely baths, massive bed and a stones throw from everything cockermouth has to offer. We will definitely be rebooking. Thank you again!

United KingdomAlbion Cottage fulfilled all our needs so we honestly can’t really fault it. If we were to be really ‘picky,’ I’d say perhaps a better fitting sheet and mattress protector on the bed as it did slip off each night soon after getting into bed. To finish on a high though, this cottage provided an overall great stay.
We had a lovely stay at Albion Cottage. Can’t fault it really. It ticked all the boxes. Though we found it a little difficult to locate the property at first, Jonathan was very helpful and communicated well with us throughout. Good location near the town centre and great that we were able to take our chihuahua Minty as it can sometimes be difficult finding suitable holiday accommodation that take pets. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay in this comfortable and cosy cottage in Cockermouth. Thank you again Jonathan. 😊

United KingdomThe key safe was difficult to use. We have stayed in several properties with key safes and have never had a problems previously. This key safe was a more technical version and was not easy.
Really cute cottage with all the facilities you could require. Warm, clean and with a very hospitable host. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of red wine, milk and new IKEA Christmas tree - a lovely touch. Kitchen was well equipped. The location, in the centre of Cockermouth was ideal.

FranceReally nothing not to like. The shower door setup needs to be looked at as its easy for water to congregate under the plinth....
Handy location in the town centre and yet surprisingly quiet. Log fire is great but lack of kindling made it hard to get going..... Thanks for the wine by the way

Loved everything about Albion Cottage. We've stayed in 20 or so places during this holiday and this one ticks all the boxes. Open fire place, comfortable bed, hot/fast shower, well equipped kitchen, great location and parking. The list goes on. The bottle of wine helped too!

United KingdomFor some reason, we didn't receive the messages concerning the arrival details. However, once we contacted the owner, it was sorted out quickly, so no big deal.
Excellent location, off road car parking, cosy, clean. Host was very helpful in allowing us to arrive a little bit earlier than normal, and also acted quickly once he realised that we hadn't received the usual messages on how to get into the property on arrival.

United KingdomUpstairs chair was pretty non functional! It would be good to know which bin belongs to the property so we could have disposed our rubbish. The pillows are marked and need changing.
Cottage is cosy and in a good location. Host went above and beyond to ensure there was a working washing machine as per the property description. Host was east to contact and very responsive.
