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.).

We had a 3 fantastic nights at Brook Farmhouse. It is a charming cottage. The king room was huge. Very quiet location. We enjoyed spending evenings in the living room by the fire place. Penny and Paul were great hosts and managed all our queries with smile. The breakfast was great specially the apple juice!

United KingdomHaving to leave so soon. Ours was a short stay to break the journey west.
On our arrival we were greeted with tea and home made cake taken in the small garden, amid a busy community of birds and insects. A wonderful old farm cottage occupying a lovely corner of typically close Devon countryside; comfortable, homely, with the reassuring steady tock from the grandfather clock standing guard in the hallway. This really was home from home.

United KingdomWe prefer en-suite bathrooms
Excellent Breakfast. Access is down a long, badly pot-holed single track road. Cottage is very remote, which is lovely, but too far to walk down to the pub or the village shop. The bathroom is shared with other rooms. The local pub is fine and does reasonable pub grub. Hosts are lovely and friendly. Assess to the bedrooms is up a very steep and narrow winding staircase.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like. It was very hot whilst staying there and an option of a simple sheet would have been most welcome as an alternative to the duvet. We should have asked but didn’t but I feel sure if we had Penny would have obliged.
Everything was perfect. Cleanliness was top notch. The rooms were dressed beautifully. Everything one could wish for was provided. Welcomed with tea and cake in the garden on arrival. We would certainly stay again if in the locality. Easy access to Exeter.
