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 KingdomThat it was had to get about if you don't drive.
Dove cottage is like a cute gingerbread house. A home from home. Em and John are amazing. Making you feel like part of the family. Dropping off at Alton towers and Ashbourne when I didn't know where to go. Offering to buy me food when I was tierd. Even giving me a sandwich to go on my leaving day. Even after breekie. Poppy, Dave and Jack are the familys fur babys. They are so cute coming to say hello every morning too. Lovely exceptional stay thank you so much🥰

United KingdomNothing.
We arrived to Dove Meadow a little later than expected because of train delays. Even before this the host had contacted us to confirm arrival time and if we were wanting breakfast in the morning. Alongside recommending a taxi company to collect us from the station. Staying in the chalet was incredible and super quiet. It has all of the amenities you could want and I can see how a family could spend a few days there. The entire property felt cosy, private and welcoming. It was also quite fun to hear sheep in the morning after traveling in from the city. The breakfast was outstanding, it was clear that all of the items were locally sourced and the host cooked them brilliantly. The additional service which was provided was great and the host went above and beyond to make our trip special. We would stay again for a short break.

United KingdomWe liked everything
We all really enjoyed everything. Hospitable reception, very warm hosts. The guest house is very clean, everything is neat and tidy and smelled nice. Board games, coloring books, TV with Netflix were available for the children. And even made friends with Puppy, a very cool and friendly dog. On the way home, the daughter said that she misses her. The breakfast served was very tasty, everything was fresh and well prepared, pancakes with Nutella and fresh strawberries for the children, orange juice, English breakfast with black coffee for us.

United KingdomCould not fault it.
We stayed in the Apple Tree Chalet which was perfect for our family of 3. The Chalet had everything you could possibly want and the surroundings were lovely. Breakfast was delicious and delivered to us each morning, a real treat. Owners could not have been more helpful, even dropped us off at the local pub one evening and gave our daughter an Easter Egg. Our daughter loved playing with Poppy, one of the best natured dogs I have ever come across.
