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.).

Lovely character hotel within beautiful countryside surroundings - everything about this hotel delivers old world charm. It's so refreshing to stay in an independent establishment after years of travelling on business in Hilton/Hyatt/Sofitel etc. The owners were lovely people - very passionate about the hotel and the area it's in. They also cook up an excellent eggs benedict! I was there for a wedding up the road and the owner was kind enough to offer me a lift THERE and BACK again in the evening. It's things like this that not only restore your faith in humanity but make for an excellent stay in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you for an excellent stay.

United KingdomBathrooms could do with a refurbish but I understand plans are in place to do this.
Great location, nice and peaceful but within easy reach of various attractions. The owners are excellent being very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable with all the features required. Top notch breakfast with very good quality food and plenty of it. A good variety was on offer and the ability to taylor the breakfast to your requirements was nice. The hotel has a couple of lounges which were nice to sit and relax in. There are also some very nice outside seating areas.

NetherlandsCan’t think of anything.
Owners are nice and friendly with a good sense of humour. We really loved the atmosphere in the mansion. Unfortunately, it was raining. Otherwise, we would have hung out on the outside terrace with a beautiful view. Stayed in the bar instead, enjoying some nice single malts and having a chat with other guests. They serve a good breakfast also.

United KingdomAs this is a historic property there are sash windows in the rooms - with the weather being hot I wanted to open the window but it proved quite tricky to do. I did intend to ask about it and what was the best way to do it, but forgot about it during the day - perhaps some sort of instructions could be put in the rooms to help with this.
My room was well equipped with pretty much everything you need for a short stay; good selection of tea/coffee, a decent shower which was nice and hot in the morning, and comfortable double bed. A lot of thought had gone into the decor, this particular room had a purple theme and it just so happens that this is my favourite colour, so that was great..and the crockery was unusual with interesting angled spoons. My Dad had one of the single rooms and we both enjoyed the breakfasts with both continental and cooked options available. I especially enjoyed the pancakes which I had on Sunday, these were freshly cooked and were brought out very quickly. Ken, the host graciously put up with me arriving late on the Friday night after a long journey from Sussex, and was very hospitable to the rest of our family who turned up the next day hoping for some afternoon tea! We sat out on the terrace; we were celebrating various birthdays and Ken produced some added extras which was a nice touch and appreciated by all of us. It helped to make it a memorable occasion, albeit a bit like the mad hatter's tea party... Thanks to all the team at Dolforwyn for a very enjoyable stay!

United KingdomThe hot water took a while to come through, but was fine after two or three minutes.
This is an interesting historic property with ample, very comfortable sitting rooms. It was a delight to be served tea In really good china and to be made to feel more like a houseguest on a small country estate than a hotel resident. The kitchen is officially closed pending the arrival of a new chief, but it was opened, obligingly, because I did not want to go out and provided me with excellent, tasty dinners. A most enjoyable stay.
