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.).

Alan and Dorothy,the hosts,were extremely helpful.A roaring log fire was burning on our arrival,There was freshly baked shortbread as an extra surprise welcome. The cottage was clean,comfortable and very well appointed. With two bedrooms,one double and one twin,both with en-suite showers and toilets. Set in the beautiful northumbrian countryside a short drive to Haltwhistle, and within easy reach of Carlisle and Brampton. We are booked for another weekend break here in six weeks and can hardly wait. Highly recommended

United KingdomNothing really.
Two bed cottage for 2 nights for less than nearby B&Bs. That does mean no breakfast but we don't normally eat much so that suits us just fine. Plenty of space with two rooms and a small but fully equipped kitchen. Dorothy had left us a pint of milk and a shortbread (looked homemade, tasted great). As the farm has no near neighbours and is on a minor road the location is very quiet. Very helpful and friendly hosts, Dorothy had the fire set for us when we arrived and made it up again the next day after we managed to let it go out.

AustraliaEverything was fantastic!
Beautiful Farm Stay with easy access to Hadrians Wall at Housesteads and many other areas of interest near Haltwhistle. This gorgeous farm stay was spotless, well equiped and welcoming. The hosts were very unassuming, obliging and they spoilt us with extra treats. It was a real treat to see the farm animals and go walking down country lanes. One of the best places we have stayed in the UK.

Delightful cottage to stay in. So cosy and comfortable. We really enjoyed our couple of nights here. Located on a working farm in beautiful countryside. Not far from a section of Hadrian's Wall. The children loved seeing the farm animals and the hosts were very friendly.

United KingdomI liked everything.
We loved this place! We had the best time with our little babies. The house is very easy to find and the communication with Dorothy before arrival was fantastic. We told them at what time we were arriving and the fireplace was on for us. The book located in the living room explains everything you need to know about the house and the surroundings. The house has a lovely cottage garden. The kitchen is totally equipped with lots of attention to detail (oil, salt, foil,etc). The rooms were spacious and the beds super comfortable. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. They got a cot and a highchair available for the little ones. The location is perfect and the views from the house are something from another world! It is a working farm with beautiful cows that our children adore. Alan was so friendly and treated us so well. I definitely want to come back and would recommend it to anyone.

United KingdomThe only negatives were that there were small spots of mould (especially in one of the kitchen cupboards) and clearly there are bits of damp damage, although there doesn't seem to be any active damp. I am susceptable to respiratory issues and could feel it affecting me slightly. However, this is not unexpected in an older property!
The host was friendly, and was there to greet us when we arrived. The house is a lovely little property on a working farm (so there are farm animals and a lot of mud, as expected!). The house is small but functional, with a small well equipped kitchen, with coffee and even a small milk kindly provided. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were also clean. No shower gel or soap (other than antibacterial hand soap) was provided, which is not a negative, just a heads up if you were to stay. The fire heats the water and the heating, and we did let the fire die a bit prematurely on one night so it did get cold. The host was happy to assist if necessary, however we got it going again no problem. The location is beautiful. It's drive or hike, there is nothing within a short walk distance (and no footpaths) although if you're looking to stay here, you're probably looking for this sort of thing!

United KingdomWasn't really anything to dislike. Would be great to have a shaver point in one of the bathrooms if ever refurbishing
Loved the homely nature of the property and the fact that it's very much ' in the middle of nowhere'. Friendly local pub but although walkable didn't fancy walking back in the dark. Great to have a log burner as don't have one at home and comprehensive instructions from owners made it easy to operate. Close to Haltwhistle and Hadrians wall which was the reason for our stay. Apart from a friendly welcome didn't see the owners at all, loved the complimentary delicious shortbread which was a nice touch. Would definitely return
