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 KingdomIt would have been a nice touch if there had been some extras (e.g. cooking oil, foil, toiletries) in the cottage. I had assumed that for the price shampoo / conditioner / shower gel would be included but it was not. The double bed was also less comfy than I'd hoped - it was hard but the main thing was that you could feel the springs.
Broccoli bottom was a lovely place to stay on a quiet little estate away from traffic noise aside from the occasional train. The cottage was as per the pictures and everything was very clean. There was a nice back garden and we had a visit from the dog each morning when he smelt our breakfast :) - this made my son very happy!

United KingdomWe had a very squeaky bed which could do with either a new mattress or some oil on the springs :)
It is situated in a very good location between the main towns and tourist attractions. The complex is very neat and tidy with easy parking away from the main road. We liked all the potted plants and flowers. Despite there being other families staying nearby at the same time, we heard no unnecessary noise. We also enjoyed the wildlife that we could spot in the fields adjacent.

The terrace was lovely to watch the wildlife from. Lovely decor. Comfy beds. Friendly family onsite. Lovely dog too 😍 Perfect location to see all Rutland water has to offer. So quiet in the evenings! The Fox pub was just a short drive away served AMAZING food and were so friendly and helpful. Gorgeous pub!

United Kingdom1. The heating was on everywhere at 27C and couldn't be turned down or off!! I imagine it was attached to the owner's house, but seriously we were baking and had to keep all the windows open to stay cool. Please fix this issue. 2. The single mattresses need to be looked at/replaced. Two of them were of definite concern, one of us had to sleep in the living room (!). The creaky bed was so creaky it kept awaking people in the room, and that mattress was well used - it needs replacing. 3. The walls between adjoining houses are so thin, the TV could be heard from next door easily - and it was on literally all the time(!). Late at nt and through to the morning... Recommend quiet hrs be implemented from 10am onwards as a first step forward.
The general environment and setting was very pleasant:-)

United KingdomIt needed a good dust, there were lots of cobwebs, in fact our host cleared some away from our bedroom door when we arrived. Not great. One of the kitchen cupboard doors was hanging off and we had to ask for milk. A couple of bottles of mineral water would have been welcome too. I think some cosmetic upgrades are needed and a few extra touches and it would be amazing.
We had the warmest welcome and our host was very helpful. She got us a number of a local taxi firm who were very reliable. It was peaceful and very private. Beautiful setting. It was lovely to sit outside in the morning with coffee in the sunshine and watch the horses, rabbits and birds of prey. We loved that. Facilities were fine, but we had to ask for milk, which would have been better waiting in the fridge. However, our host got that for us straight away which was appreciated. Lovely shower. Bed was large and quite comfortable, but we could feel the join of the single mattresses, so maybe time for a new topper.

United Kingdomthere was no direct link to which holiday let we had, another person who worked local had to go find out where ourselves and other guests were staying. we initially had no heating or hot water and for a fair time was unable to contact anyone, this was sorted for the Friday, which was confirmed by a text message but when we woke Saturday again there was no heating or hot water, 2 of our guests had to go and knock on the door, where someone in the kitchen ignored them until they knocked on the window, again it was sorted but it was not great. also the toilet flush kept breaking and we had to keep putting it back on. for the cost of 2 nights we were not particularly happy or satisfied. shame as otherwise it was lovely.
it was ideally situated, it was clean and enough space for our group
