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 KingdomThe stove top turned out to be one hot plate....tricky for for cooking the 3 veg for an evening meal. There is an oven...so with a few adjustments we did manage to put together nourishing, balanced evening meals. No table for dining but a bar and 2 stools...which actually were more comfortable than expected and at the right height. We did manage to sit happily at the bar to eat. On the whole one feels very short of kitchen/eating/ washing up space....but we managed and were.not put off. This is a good place.
Really liked being in a cottage on the Wakehurst Estate, being a member of both Kew and the NT, it gave me a great sense of connection. Lovely sheltered garden in which we enjoyed our lunches...garden dining table and chairs...even in October. Well furnished and appointed accomodation...plenty of hot water...good lighting...cosy bed....super clean.

This is a really lovely self contained annexe in the garden of the main cottage. It’s very quiet and rural, close to some beautiful countryside. The welcome pack was brilliant, which we used for breakfast and snacks throughout out stay. The owners were extremely helpful and responsive with any queries.

United KingdomThe 2 velux windows above bed, need blinds. Nice to see the stars at night, but when it gets light at 5 in the morning, it’s far too bright.
We thought the breakfast was good. Quality muesli, bread, butter and tea. The location was excellent very close to the places we visited and the lodge was quiet peaceful and very clean.

Hut was cozy and warm (it has underfloor heating). It is right next to Wakehurst botanicals and so very convenient if you're wanting to visit there. Tranquil and peaceful location. Admittedly we were out and about a lot and so didn't speak to the owners much, but when we did they were very friendly and helpful.
