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 KingdomVery friendly hosts. Lovely accommodation and very clean. Exceptional English breakfast, which set us up for the day. The property is rural and quiet with wonderful views. And if walking the local town is about a 40-minute walk away that has a nice pub with an Indian restaurant next door.

United KingdomI wasn't happy with safety in the shower. There should have been a grab bar and the bathtub floor needed something on it to prevent slipping as it was very smooth. The shower itself was very good.
The breakfast was terrific. The accommodation was very high class with a four poster bed which was very comfortable. We liked the separate sitting area to the left of the door for watching TV.

United KingdomI think others have mentioned this, I knew from feedback that the beds were probably doubles not kings, which was fine, but I agree with others, very squeeky.. we had no intentions for our one night stay, if you know what I mean.. but if you do, beware! think of your next door neighbours!!
What a beautiful place, just loved the area and the house itself, so atmospheric and comfy, lots of sofas and chairs to relax and chill out on, areas to read a book, chat, play a game or whatever. Breakfast hit the spot too, best scrambled eggs I've had in ages! Service was quick and friendly.

AustraliaOur room was a little cramped as we had large bags whilst traveling from Australia. But apparently we had booked a standard room and bigger rooms were available for extra cost. Bed was on the small side for us although comfortable it was a bit creaky .We will go back and book an upgraded room where all the above I believe would have been rectified.
Breakfast was exceptional- all home cooked . Porridge on the menu might be a nice addition and also kippers- As a suggestion.
