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.).

The location is perfect, very tranquil and relaxing. Wonderfully manicured lawn areas with views of the surrounding countryside. The owner was so helpful and went out of his way to help us. The accommodation is really outstanding and comfortable. I loved waking to the sound of the cockerel and geese calling.

United KingdomHonestly, there is nothing not to like, it’s spot in for a glamping site.
The setting is really great & the location can’t be faulted. You have your own washroom/toilet facilities which is a real plus. You are in beautiful countryside & yet a hop, skip & jump from the facilities in Stoke-in-Trent. It’s a fabulous place to stay if you want to be near the city but in peaceful surroundings. Very handy for Alton Towers, the Pottery museums, the two football clubs etc., etc. Breakfast at Jackson’s Nurseries was spot on & a highlight was the evening meal at the Stafford Arms in Bagnall, a really pretty village just down the road from Holly Grove.

United KingdomPerfect quiet setting, beautiful countryside all around; the facilities themselves were absolutely brilliant. The private bathroom was immaculately clean and modern. The glamping accommodation itself was so quaint and cosy, right down to the smallest detail, like the matching dinner sets with sheep design. The bed was extremely comfortable and the decor was so inviting and homely. Would definitely return 👍

United KingdomThe microwave was a bit fiddly and hard to figure out.
The hosts were lovely and accommodating. The farm was beautiful and the children loved the animals. The wet room was clean with loads of hot water. The beds were comfortable and the huts themselves were perfectly appointed and well-maintained. Everything we could have wanted as a family was provided, even down to games and toys for the children to enjoy. Lovely fish and chip shop nearby, also wonderful kebab shop. Very convenient location to exploring the area.
