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 KingdomHandheld vac in utility cupboard didn't have a cable in order to charge up and use, but I'm sure this can be easily rectified. WiFi is a real struggle at the cottage however, mobile signal was adequate.
Beautiful, quiet rural location which was perfect for a relaxing break. Lavender Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Clean and comfortable bed, plenty of towels and loo roll in the ensuite bathroom. Bedroom is huge with plenty of storage and lots of plug sockets for hairdryer/straighteners phone charger. . Kitchen facilities were all you needed with decent kettle, toaster, fridge and easy to use hob, oven and microwave. Beautiful living room with two very comfy reclining sofas, 2 large velux windows in the roof void made this room beautiful and light all day long. The electric fire also came in handy and made the room very cosy on an evening.

United KingdomTv in lounge was very intermittent in working, so had to spend most of the time in the bedroom watching tv in there & so couldn’t really enjoy the benefits of lounge. Internet pretty non existent & so if you rely heavily on it (which we do) then it’s not the place for you.
Beautiful very rural location. Super clean & modernised cottage. Very comfortable. Although rural not far from amenities & places of interest to visit.

United KingdomOur issue is not with the property but with the agent that the owner has used to manage the bookings. The company is called Host and Stay and were extremely hard work to deal with. initially I was not happy about having to pay a damage waiver or leave a deposit but having checking the small print in the booking I accepted that as a requirement. host and Stay were relentless chasing the completion of the damage waiver. I finally completed a link they sent me which I later found out was for a different date and someone else’s booking. Host and Stay continued to chase for completion of the damage waiver despite me explaining that I’d followed the link they’d sent me and made the payment for the damage waiver. I explained that to complete the process again I would have to pay twice. I asked them to transfer the completed verification and insurance to my actual booking. I thought I’d finally got somewhere when they emailed to say they were happy I’d completed the verification and would receive the entry information. I received an email containing the “PIN number” and wrongly assumed that was the key box number. Arriving at the property I tried the number and it did not work. I rang Host and Stay and explained that I needed the key box number and their representative said that I had not completed the verification or insurance process! I again explained what had happened and that they had sent the wrong link so the rep put me on hold to look into it. Some 10 minutes later I hung up as there was no sign of anyone coming back to me and rang back. their rep again said I hadn’t completed the process at which point I again explained what had happened. eventually they gave me the key box number - they are a nightmare to deal with and I only go to this length of putting this information in the review in the hope the owner of the cottage sees my review and considers the use of Host and Stay as their agent.
Fantastic property in a great location near Bamburgh. absolute peace and quiet which is just what we were after.

It was warm and comfortable and extremely quiet. It was close to some of the best beaches I have seen as well as the national park.

It was homely, cosy, super clean and so nice to get back to after a long walk on the beach. Just a very short drive to Bamburgh where the beach is stunning, so clean, beautiful! The bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept in!

United KingdomThe location was quite remote . In theory it is walking distance to Bamburgh but for the vast majority of the route there was no foot path so not safe to walk. The cottage is in a collection of similar cottages. The only outside furniture ( which is quite basic) is right outside the front door in the courtyard so there is no privacy if other families are out too.
It was very clean and comfortable.
