How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Lena made us feel extremely welcome. The guest house has beautiful gardens and the house itself is a lovely old house, extremely clean and comfortable with everything you need for a holiday away. I forgot to mention that Lena's breakfasts are delicious, with home made cake, stewed fruit from the orchard in the garden and perfectly cooked poached eggs etc.

Room was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and Lena was great at answering all our questions. We had an early checkout on the Sunday so would have missed breakfast, but Lena arranged for delicious bacon sandwiches to be waiting for us to take on the ferry. Thank you for a lovely stay!

A tasty, well-cooked breakfast, efficiently and discretely served. The decor at Cosy Wolf is immaculate, smart and stylish and beautifully presented. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds, good storage, and smart bathrooms. Both the dining room and guest lounge are light, spacious and comfortable. Lena is an excellent host who is justifiably proud of her excellent B&B. The location is quiet and secluded in a select part of the island, and is only a very short drive from the ferry port of Yarmouth.

Stayed in Sark room. Shower over bath was ok but a bit awkward as the shower head was quite short. If staying again would ask for Wight room which was fabulous.
Lovely host, fabulous breakfasts with additional daily treats (cake/muffins), comfortable beds, good sized room and plenty of hangers in wardrobe. Also has a lovely guest lounge with honesty bar.

We have had a lovely stay at Cozy Wolf! Room was clean to the high standard, bed was comfortable and place was quiet. Garden was huge and beautiful! We enjoyed our breakfast so much, it was delish! Place itself is beautiful in really convenient location! Host was friendly and you could tell she loves having people around. There is not that many places where you can tell that people put their heart and soul in to it, this one is one of the kind! We will be definitely back! Thank you again for superb stay, I am still dreaming about your eggs Benedict and home made cake! Wishing you all the best
