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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomNothing at all - it was lovely We cannot fault anything at all
We loved the extra details and little home comfort touches that the family have put into this lovely property. It was great to have refreshments and breakfast available on arrival. The story behind this beautiful holiday home outlined in the 'Welcome Folder' is very special. Our pups loved it too!

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing that we didn’t like .
Wow we just loved Joanne’s retreat the accommodation was outstanding ,spotlessly clean there was lovely little touches that the hosts had put in place, which made you feel right at home from the moment that you walked in. This is a perfect place to stay in Weymouth . The apartment had a lovely warm calm relaxing atmosphere about it. The enclosed garden was perfect for our two small dogs. Jean and Barry from upstairs were wonderful kind people so very friendly. We will definitely be going back again. I highly recommend Joannes Retreat if you are looking for a perfect break in Weymouth . A very big thank you to the Hosts and to Jean and Barry from Des and Angela

United KingdomWould be better to advise that parking space is fairly short. If we had brought our bigger vehicle no one else would have been able to access the drive.

United KingdomNothing!
The apt is just beautiful and very comfortable. The host has certainly gone the extra mile in adding extra touches to make your stay special. It is on a main road but we did not hear any traffic and the bedrooms and dining area is at the back which is very quiet. The back garden is gorgeous and very peaceful. The bed was so comfortable! The care takers are a lovely couple who go out of their way to ensure your stay is a good one. A lot of love has gone into making this property a home away from home. I felt it cared for staying here. There is also a gorgeous pub in a very pretty location a 10 minute walk away And the walk is nice too!

Will definitely be recommending Joanne's Retreat to friends and family, and we will definitely be booking again.

United KingdomWe didn't like that there are no privacy window dressing other than the curtains, which you dont want to close during the day. The property is overlooked and the residents upstairs, although very nice, do walk closely past the window back and forth to their own property. Although they didn't look in, it felt intrusive and we couldn't just hang out without being conscious of it. Some privacy blinds or voiles is all that is needed and wouldn't ruin the looks at all.
The property was comfortable with lots of nice touches. The decor is tasteful and stylish. The bedding was lovely quality and the towels were gorgeous! The courtyard garden was a lovely suntrap and really very well maintained. All in all a lovely place and we would stay again.

United KingdomNo complaints at all.
The location was fine, about a 10 minute drive to the town centre with 2 parking spaces. The apartment had the wow factor, in fact it felt like home from home. The apartment was spotless and everything you would need for a comfortable stay was here. Georgina left us mince pies, chocolate, fresh ground coffee and even dog treats and had made the apartment Christmassy so we had a warm welcome on our arrival. We brought Pepe our Hearing Dog for the Deaf and he too soon felt at home. The small enclosed garden was perfect for him and we could imagine it being a suntrap in the summer. It was nicely kept and laid out with table and chairs as well. The kitchen was really well equipped and spacious - everything had been thought of. The apartment was a fantastic find for us.
