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.).

SpainThe only thing was there was no independent heater as in the evening if it had been raining a little heater could have been good to sit in front of it.
The cottage was ideally situated for the centre of town . The garden was lovely and peaceful to sit and read a book and also have friends round for lunch and a chat. It was cosy on an evening to sit and read or watch TV. It was very relaxing .

United KingdomThe only improvement would be if the kitchen area was slightly larger but the space had been thoughtfully utilised and the full cooker was a bonus.
The cottage was comfy, cosy and easy to heat (in a rather chilly March). The owners were very close should anything go wrong but they weren't intrusive. It was very central in Knaresborough but quiet and secluded. It was also well-lit when returning at night in the dark.

United KingdomA washing machine as advertised. This was the main drawback.
The cottage was small but very comfortable. However in the advert it said it had a washing machine, a DVD player, a CD player and a desk. It had none of these things. I think the advert should be changed immediately as this is false advertising.

United KingdomOnly negative is the car parking......long stay is 10-15 minutes walk away and you have to top up each day as 24 hrs is the maximum stay period.
Excellent town centre location and easy to find. Well equipped and very comfortable stay. Nice friendly hosts. Especially liked the private courtyard area for relaxing.

NetherlandsThe cottage owners live across the courtyard, where they run a B & B. I wasn't aware of this and really had some trouble with the lack of privacy, even though the hosts are really friendly people, especially because I wasn't aware of the fact that the hosts live only 3 meters away from the cottage when I booked. At home I do not lack any privacy, so it was a little upsetting. My main concern, however, lay in the fact that there was a typical smell, in fact an overpowering stench, in the cottage that I couldn't stand - very stale, muggy and old, like in an antique shop, which got worse when the radiators were switched on. They may be the cause of the stench and may need deep cleaning... Also, it was hardly possible to air the cottage as there are only windows on one side of it. These windows are awning windows with a very narrow opening. I never felt the air was clean and fresh, which really bothered me the whole week, also because of my health issues. I didn't discuss the awful smell with the owners; how could it be solved? No idea, also because my sense of smell could be different from theirs and they wouldn't perhaps smell the stench. In hindsight I feel I should have brought it up as it made me feel very uncomfortable and unhappy especially when I returned to the cottage from a nice day out in the open air. They were probably not aware of it, as hosts, and they should be. They responded very well to my health issue but I was afraid the hosts would find me a real nuisance for bringing up a second issue. But as a guest you should get what you deserve based on the website info, esp. when you don't feel well physically. So to all booking.com guests: always bring up your complaints!! The cottage deserves a touch up in terms of air quality as it is really gorgeous, really nicely decorated, well-equipped and very modern in design in terms of pillows and pieces of art as decorations.
Courtyard cottage is a very quiet cottage in a beautiful setting with a comfortable bed, with a wonderful, secluded and sunny garden with birds and squirrels in a lovely little market town with shops, the railway station, lovely pubs, charity shops and sights really nearby - very convenient, especially when you travel alone. I had some special needs related to my health when I was staying at Courtyard Cottage, which the hosts accommodated upon my request straightaway. Really appreciated that! What I also liked was their prompt refund of my cleaning deposit

United KingdomThe place is small and it is not easy to walk around with ease the rooms with ease. Kitchen is small and even though this flat is for two, there is a dinning table and four chairs which takes a lot of space. If two chairs and the big table be removed and the four chairs and table will be changed for two, it will be much better. The shower is bad and water switches to hot and cold and doesn't allow to take a proper shower.
I love the location. It is very close to variety of shops, pubs, and places to go and things to do within walking distance. We found a Chinese take away that we really enjoyed the food.

United KingdomVery small shower room, tiny basin with no elbow room. Kitchen good for snacking and oven baking, no space for food prep - washing up a challenge. Eating out recommended apart from breakfast!
