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.).

We loved the log burner and the local pub The Crown is excellent. The location is perfect as it’s easy to get anywhere in a short time.

United KingdomThe only small thing is that it could do with a bit more lighting in the evenings.
Lovely authentic cottage. Very clean and well equipped kitchen with lovely garden. The stairs are not suitable for small children or children or people with mobility issues but this was made clear in the description. We had a great stay in a good location for different trips across Norfolk. Great communication by owner. Highly recommend.

Arrived in the dark, so a little difficult to find the keys at first

What a lovely little cottage. We have stayed in plenty of dog friendly accommodation but as dog owners, accommodation always seems to be inferior. This cottage wasn't at all. It was superior! Loved the log burner, extremely well equipped and very clean.

United KingdomStairs challenging, the site does warn about them however. Rear bedroom Coombed ceiling very low. Bathroom had severe dampness & mould on the outer wall. A problem with older properties I suppose where damp proof courses have been breached over time
Very comfortable, clean and quirky

United KingdomNeeds more dessert spoons as only two for a family of 5, Maybe a cloth or sponge for washing up as nothing when we stayed but everything else was spot on and these are only very minor points. We would definitely stay again.
Lovely cottage in a great location with everything you need for a weekend away including a great local pub! Cottage was clean and tidy and more spacious than I thought it would be. Tall people beware of the low doors ways & steep stairs.

United KingdomThis is not a 'didn't like' but if you stay here you must understand this is a lovely old cottage and the stairs are steep! My teenagers thought they were great fun but if you have limited mobility or maybe toddlers then they could be a challenge. Didn't cause us any problems though!
Very comfortable cottage, excellent location for exploring area. Communication excellent with owner and the lemon cake and milk in the fridge waiting for us on arrival was a lovely touch. Both front and back garden secure for our dogs. We had an excellent meal at The Crown which is 5 minute walk away .

United KingdomWe stayed after our wedding and were hoping for a little something to welcome us, as stated in our conversation. It was put before, but stairs were incredibly steep as we're the steps between living room to kitchen but to be expected.
Location was great, just what we wanted. Great and cosy. Wish we had more time to use the fire.

United KingdomDisappointed that two weeks before Christmas the cottage hadn't been trimmed up. It didn't spoil our stay but would of added extra cosiness to a lovely cottage. We were very much into the Christmas festivities as we visited Thursford Christmas spectacular during our stay at Japonica Cottage.
Traditional well kept comfortable cottage. Close to most places you would want to visit in North Norfolk. Parking outside the door quite village location.
