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.).

I stayed for 2 nights, I came to visit a friend for her big birthday bash and wanted my own space. This was perfect, 10 mins from Sherborne town. The apartment was clean and very cosy. Had a fantastic sleep comfortable mattress and bedding. Also was Provided with milk, tea and a small coffee machine (pods) which is very simple to use. Views from apartment were stunning. At night the sky is just beautiful all the stars on show ✨ I loved watching the sunrise and the chickens as I sipped on my lovely coffee. The hosts were lovely and John was very kind to drop me back to my car left in town the next morning. Thank you!

United KingdomVERY minor points, property is upstairs from front door so needed to unload into small hallway and then move things up. Needed to walk dog on (country) road as garden off limits. No instructions for 'Nespresso' machine.
Quiet, secluded, well equipped property. Spacious. Good instructions on how to find property.

United Kingdomhaving no control over the heating - controlled from the main house on a pre-set timer. Unfortunately, we stayed on the coldest night of the year (-4c outside)and had no heating until 7.30 am. The sitting room thermometer said 12.5c. Hosts were away and the house sitter was not familiar with heating controls. Instruction for fan oven would have been useful as we have never used one before.
The bed was very comfy, Quilt was amazing Good location Good contact with hosts re finding house Peaceful, Good for star gazing

United KingdomIt was a lovely quiet location, peaceful (especially at night) . Good location to travel to various places in Dorset. Good size, great to have a kitchen so I could cook my own food. Key safe with the front door key was great so so risk of taking it with me and loosing it. Nice to be able to park on the drive.. Hosts were friendly but not intrusive.

Vatican CityNothing negative to say about Little Glebe.
self catering. The location was quiet, peaceful, with lovely open countryside views from all windows. If the weather had been kind we would have enjoyed miles of lovely countryside walks, but sadly it rained. A lot. That said it was well placed for visits to Sherborne (for the castle) and Yeovil, for shopping etc. , and a thirty-five minute drive to Weymouth. Other close coastal locations were easily accessible from there.

United KingdomJohn and Carolyn were excellent hosts. They made us feel at home and the apartment had everything we needed. The bed and bedding was very comfortable and the views from the windows across the surrounding countryside were delightful. John and Carolyn provided good information and suggestions on places to eat locally and also advised on local walks where we could take our dog. All in all a wonderful relaxing place to stay with really nice hosts.

United KingdomThe rural location meant that the internet connection was a bit variable. Great for getting away from it all, but not so good if you need to keep connected.
The apartment is within easy reach of Sherborne and there are interesting places to visit nearby. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the lovely views across the countryside.

United KingdomWe were sadly in need of a fan due to humidity at the time that we stayed. No fans were available so we had to pop to the local Argos in Yeovil to purchase. A very minor fault considering the small chance of England ever reaching that level of heat!
Quiet and peaceful with all of the right amenities. Thank you for the extremely comfy bed, the iron and of course, the expresso machine.
