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 walls are thin and all of the doors have gaps around them so you can hear pretty much everything happening (not much privacy in the bathroom even with two doors shut). We could hear our neighbours but this wasn't a problem for us. Two of the three bedrooms have low headroom due to the slopped roof and the main living room has a low ceiling too but shouldn't be a problem for most people. The wifi available is slow (< 5mbps) and has trouble loading most videos above 480p (but this is to be expected due to the rural location) - would not be suitable for work. Initial booking confirmation included incorrect cottage details but the host messaged closer to the time with different cottage and check-in instructions.
The cottage was very clean and easy to get into. The host was friendly and accommodating and there was plenty of parking available. Tea and sugar were provided and the kitchen was equipped with the basics as well as a fridge, freezer and coffee pod machine. The beds were okay with spring mattresses and plenty of wardrobe space. The location was lovely and quiet, close to Conwy but our preference was to drive around to Llandudno (about a 25-minute drive) where there were plenty of shops and restaurants. Overall, a very nice stay and recommend it.

The location was perfect, not too far from the centre of Conwy. The cottage was very clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed for 3 nights as we were climbing Snowdon. It was around an hour away which was great as there were many other places that we wanted to stop off at.

United KingdomNothing I didn't like.
Tracey kindly left the door unlocked for me as I was arriving late (10pm) and the keys were left in the kitchen. Otherwise the keys would have been left by the front door in a lock box for which you're given a code. I stayed in Oak Cottage. There's a booklet on the coffee table giving you Wifi passwords and other information. The cottage can accommodate three people. Two good sized bedrooms (one large double and a single in the other room.) Plenty of cupboard space. The bathroom is downstairs and has a bath with shower. The living area is a good size with a 3 seater sofa and a large TV. The kitchen is well equipped and forms part of the living room area. Tea and coffee provided. I took a cool bag with other provisions for the first day or so. Everywhere was very clean, comfortable and nice decor. Plenty of parking space outside. There is a main front door and also another door the other side of the lounge opening out onto a small terrace garden with table and chairs. Everything was excellent. No bad points at all as far as I'm concerned. If you're tall you just have to mind the beams in the bedroom and when in the shower you may have bend slightly as the ceiling is a tad low. Good location. There are two pubs nearby serving good food. A great place to stay from which to explore the area and the stunning scenery. Highly recommended.
