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 KingdomNothing. For the price it was honestly well over my expectations in every way.
Richard was very welcoming, made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful but it was him that made the stay so brilliant. Couldn't ask for more from the property or host stand point. 10 out of 10. Thanks Richard for everything and all the best for the future!

United KingdomJust wished we had the chance to thank Burt (the host) personally before we left. But we had to shoot off early for our long drive home.
The room we stayed in was downstairs and therefore had our own shower room, next to the dining room. All rooms very clean. Made to feel very welcome and to treat the house like our own. Access to sky in our room was a bonus for my partner. Room - lovely decorated and dark at night (good curtains) I like a black dark room to sleep in. Free WiFi also. Prefer this over a Premier Inn any day. Thank you for having us. Also, really good value for money.

Friendly host. Well-equipped kitchen with welcoming sense of freedom. Shower had a lovely big shower-head. Very quiet part of town, not far from the hospital - visiting a patient there was the purpose of my visit. Free bananas!

United KingdomRichard was friendly and kindly made me a cup of tea when I arrived late due to the trains. The room was comfortable, and the surroundings were quiet. I slept like a log, which was great as i was in Barnstaple for work and needed to be up early. I have booked again at the end of the month

United KingdomThe threshold into the shower is quite high and a small step would be helpful.
I concur with the comments by others that Bert was very welcoming and helped make my stay very enjoyable. My room was on the ground floor and therefore made a big difference to me as I have mobility issues.

United KingdomIt wasn't clear that Lauderdale Lodge is a guesthouse rather than a holiday house, and so we were expecting to have it to ourselves. In the event it didn't matter at all because Richard was so accommodating, but you should be aware that there may be other guests staying with you, sharing the bathroom and other facilities.
Richard is kind, hospitable and generous. Although this is a guesthouse, he gave us absolute freedom to use his kitchen. It is one of the best-equipped kitchens I have ever seen. The house is recently renovated in a very personal style, and very comfortable. It's in a quiet location, only about 15 minutes walk from the centre of town.

United KingdomIt was easy to walk into town from the property. Room was clean and comfortable and I was made to feel welcome, the cost was reasonable too. I think the room would have benefitted from tea making facilities, but you can use the kitchen. Although not en suite the bathroom was close by with a lovely powerful shower and roll top bath. I would stay here again
