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 KingdomCan't think of anything.
Very spacious with a separate kitchen, bath and shower in the spacious bathroom and a big comfortable lounge with dining table.. Suzanne was the perfect host and nothing too much trouble. The breakfast was a good selection of cereals, fruits, yoghurt, jams, croissants and toast with coffee and tea that was all self service. The location was perfect with a walk straight from the house into the hills and the town 5 minutes walk away with a few good pubs and restaurants. We would recommend the Kings Arms pub for food, real ale and friendly staff and locals,The Sawaddee Thai restaurant and Berry's for tea and cake. Suzanne's house was one of the best we've stayed in and we would highly recommend it and Church Stretton for a stay.

United KingdomNothing.
It was near enough to the centre but really quiet and also it felt like you had your own apartment as the whole floor was yours. Suzanne was really welcoming, the room and bathroom was spacious and has everything you needed. The breakfast was great too, you could help yourself and there was a good choice. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Church Stretton.

United KingdomLack of oven and hob may be an issue for some though not in our case. Only terrestrial freeview channels; again not a problem for us. As you can probably guess, I'm really struggling to find anything we didn't like or thought could be improved.
The facilities and layout were excellent with an en-suite bathroom and separate kitchen. A high standard of decoration and scrupulously clean. Comfortable bed & sofa to relax. Toiletries supplied along with soft towels and lots of little extras that made for a special stay. Lovely warm rooms. Kitchen well stocked equipment-wise (microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge) but no oven or hob. The supplied breakfasts were probably the best we've ever eaten or seen with plenty of fresh fruit, yoghuts, orange juice and (my favourite) real ground coffee! Decent wi-fi (10 Mbps). We've stayed in a few 10/10 places but this warrants 11/10 if not more. Only 100 metres from the railway station and 10 minutes or less walk into Church Stretton.

What a beautiful apartment. Suzanne, our host, was extremely friendly and welcoming. The apartment is just beautiful, the highest standard, and impeccably clean. The breakfast fairy arrived each morning with an array of fruits and cereals to choose from. Suzanne goes the extra mile to make this a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back 👌

Went into the kitchen and there was a whole selection of breakfast items ( had not heard anyone prep this) Close to the town and all amenities. Just wonderful. Photo is of some the breakfast choice.

United KingdomEverything was perfect!!
We loved everything about our stay. Our hosts, Suzanne, Mark and doggy Max could not have been more welcoming and friendly, going above and beyond to make time to find us a non muddy walk, complete with written instructions and a map! Breakfast was plentiful and there was an amazing selection of food. We liked being able to sit at the table in our room to eat this. The location was perfect....just a short walk from the station, local shops and restaurants. We ate in the King's Arms and the Thai restaurant, and would highly recommend both. The house is located in a quiet, peaceful area. The room was warm, and the bed super comfy. The bathroom was huge! We couldn't fault this lovely place, and will definitely return.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
Everything. A fantastic property managed by a couple who clearly know how to go the extra mile. There are lovely touches throughout the room which are subtleties picked up through either understanding the needs of their clients or from their own personal experiences when staying away. Thank you, Suzanne and Mark for a memorable stay. We will be back.
