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.).

The converted stables are amazing, so cozy and set on a farm with horses in their stables directly opposite. The pre ordered cooked breakfast was a really lovely touch.

United KingdomThe place could've been bit more tidier, spiders and cobwebs were spotted. Stale milk and tea bags but luckily we were carrying condensed milk and tea bags
Breakfast was really good and it was locally sourced, great location, property and facilities like tennis court and stables were a plus. Very calm and quite if you're looking for tranquillity.

CanadaThe furniture in the sitting room was worn but serviceable. The floors were squeaky as might be expected in a farmhouse. We had wondered if this would wake us if someone got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but we all slept so soundly that no one woke up to test this!
We arrived late in the dark, and everything was readily available to us. The property manager/owner was very responsive. More than the four of us (myself, my husband and our two tween sons) could have easily fit in the space. The master bed was large and very comfortable with good bedding - an unexpected highlight. The unit was very spacious with a large dining table. I was also pleased that there were numerous knives, all of which were reasonably sharp (this was not the case at a number of other places we stayed). There was a helpful little booklet highlighting some worthwhile nearby sights. The simple breakfast was delivered right to our dining room table despite us missing the cutoff to put out our breakfast request as we arrived late, and was hot and delicious. The best scrambled eggs I had all trip! There was also a vegetarian/vegan option. The boys loved being able to see the horses in their stable. The property was very scenic and the sunrise was gorgeous over the fields. We had hoped for a more natural farmhouse-style stay, and this is exactly what we enjoyed. We wished we had more time to enjoy the setting. 8.5/10

United KingdomOnly to be very picky could have done with a bath mat for coming out of the shower and paper towel and washing up liquid in the kitchen to save using the dishwasher for a small load.
Breakfast was delicious and exactly what we asked for, delivered promptly and with a smile. Cottage was nice and warm, backed up with a wood burner.

United Kingdomas students we didnt have a car and the location was a bit hard to access. we booked chippenham cabs to get to and from the cottage but had a bit of trouble with checking out on time bc no availability of cabs for a while. so location may be iffy for students or people without cars but if u know how to get around with cabs and book them in advance, i think it's still worth the extra time as it is a perfect location for a relaxing holiday away from everything else.
great, filling breakfast, loved having the self-catering option, owner helped us lit fire which kept property very warm and cosy. nice view of stable. everything was clean and loved the interior especially the pics of animals on the walls. perfect for a day away from the city.

United KingdomNo complaints. If the photos and description of the cottage of the bookings.com website had been a little better done, I would have realised I was getting a lot more for my money than I was expecting!
Fully equipped cottage with large living room/kitchen combination. Was not expecting breakfast to be provided so that was a nice bonus. Looks out on stables so heaven for horse lovers.

United KingdomEverything exceeded our expectations.
What an absolute gem... This has to be one of the best cottages in the Cotswolds. From the moment of booking, until we said goodbye, the whole experience was seamless. Jessica was the perfect host, making this stay memorable for all the right reasons. The location is idyllic, the property spotless, and the breakfast exquisite. Do not consider staying elsewhere, just book Battens Farm immediately. Many thanks Jessica, we will be seeing you soon!
