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 KingdomNothing bad to say.
Had a lovely stay in the cosy barn which was set in a delightful cottage style garden. Very clean and welcoming. Everything you could need in the kitchen plus lots of extras like home made cake on arrival, sparkling water and a Nespresso machine. Sensitively decorated with good quality furnishings and items. A pleasure to visit.

Met by host who showed us over the property and handed us the keys, property is all on ground floor self contained and situated across court yard from owners house. Main reason we stayed as it was near Benenden Hospital and we did not fancy a long drive home in January following the procedure , so handy being approx 5 mins drive away. Would like to stay again to explore further the local area , did visit Cranbrook which we greatly liked.

United KingdomFreshwater Barn is a cosy place for two, allowing a well behaved dog (but ours was left with friends), with a large, well equipped kitchen / living room, a comfortable bedroom and etc. It is in a very quiet location, with very friendly but unobtrusive owners nearby and it is decorated with style and quality.

AustriaNothing we can think of. Everything you normally need in a cottage was available and even more.
Easily accessible by car (parking available). Located in the middle of Kent 1h 30 min from Heathrow. Places like Dover, Canterbury and other locations are within reasonable distance. Sophie and Ronald have been exceptional hosts. The location is as depicted on the pictures located in a beautiful garden. An absolute recommendation if you want to go on holiday in Kent.

United KingdomThe stay was perfect I can't state any negative points because they are surely hidden by all the positive. The value for money is greatly surpassed.
Lovely cottage, attentive and friendly owner, we were warmly welcomed by a very tasted cake and eggs. The kitchen is very well equipped with all you need to concoct good meals with a big gaz cooker. Many lamps to give a pleasant atmosphere, very pretty colored and flowered blinds contribute to a country atmosphere but also elegant. A soft bedroom with nice smelling sheets with an ensuite shower toilet. The entrance very nicely decorated and very practical for storing and hanging up your jackets...For lovers of nature and tranquility you will surely appreciate. I enjoyed the walks with my dog in the park just across the road.

United KingdomAlthough the property welcomed dogs ,I felt that the rules indicated by the owner were a bit ambiguous to the latter. Dogs not allowed in the garden as she had problems with a previous guest with dogs and an incident with her chickens.
The property was very well furnished. very comfortable and clean.

United KingdomNothing wrong except there was no soap in the bathrooms which I feel is pretty fundamental given the covid situation. Happy to bring my own shampoo etc as was not a hotel but who carries hand soap in their luggage? Enough milk in a jug for a cupper on arrival would also have been good especially as milk doesn’t travel so well. Kitchen ..literally nowhere to put any food. Personally I would switch the decorative wall dresser for an actual cupboard to put food in. It all got a bit cluttered up around the toaster . But I am being ultra fussy. It really was a lovely place to stay.
Perfect for walking to and from our party location. Lovely little cottage like barn in the garden. My girls loved it and we felt like we were truly on holiday.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like but the only suggestion is that that path could be better lit at night.
The property was beautifully styled. Very comfortable. The location was beautiful. Hosts were friendly but not over bearing. Thoughtful touches such as a homemade cake and a jug of milk.
