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 KingdomVery little. The bathroom could have benefited from a towel hook on the door.
Lovely host, very welcoming. The room was very comfortable and we had cold milk and water from a little fridge in the hallway. Wonderful breakfast cooked to order. Altogether an excellent experience, very professionally managed. The host, Jane, went out of her way to be helpful, even giving us a lift back from the nearby Alder Vineyard.

United KingdomWe stayed at Lobhill Farm for 2nts to attend a wedding at a nearby venue. Jane was a very accommodating host. We stayed in the Green Room, which is a.large, well appointed room, with a private balcony overlooking the amazing, well tended gardens. The ensuite was roomy with both a bath and powerful shower. The bed was very comfortable & the attention to detail throughout the property, gave a very homely feel. The breakfast was first class. Jane's recommendations for local pubs/food, were greatly appreciated,

United KingdomA dishwasher would have made the facilities complete, but I appreciate there wasn't a spare area to accommodate one
The cottage is set in beautiful surroundings. The garden was well tended, with plenty of communal seating, in addition to the personal-use table and chairs that were nearby. There is also a woodland you can walk in. We were lucky enough to see a deer on our journey to the nearby Alder Vineyard where we had an excellent breakfast. The cottage had everything we needed and was exceptionally clean, with a generous amount of tea, coffee, etc and all the other essentials required for a self-catering stay. The ensuite was spotless, and I loved the huge shower. There were loads of towels. Our host made us feel very welcome and I felt that nothing would have been too much trouble. I would certainly visit again.

United StatesWe cooked quite a bit and I wished there was a small dishwasher for convenience. Nevertheless, I would book this place again in a heartbeat if we wanted to stay somewhere in the area.
Stop searching, this is the place you want to spend your vacation at! We stayed here for 3 nights with our 14-month old and it was wonderful. Jane prepared "The Shed" with some treats for us upon our arrival and was very responsive when we had any requests. After long days of exploring, we loved that there were multiple launch spots throughout the rental: we could either relax in the living room and overlook the hilly vineyards or enjoy the sun on the couch on the deck. In general the layout of the entire place fit our needs well: well equipped kitchen with even a milk foamer, each bedroom had their own bathroom, there was a little separate mudroom prior to the main living area (was great to store all the baby gear), and the best of all, it was a bit apart from the rest of the BnB so you had ample privacy. On our second day there, I told my husband, this is what vacation should feel like.

United KingdomThe welcome, the cleanliness, in a beautiful part of the country.
Jane, the owner, was welcoming. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. A nice breakfast set us up for the day. In the grounds is a lovely woodland area you can explore and when we visited the bluebells were out and wild garlic. Jane emailed to advise us of local places to eat and we were not disappointed, but you do have to book in advance to get a table.

United KingdomUnfortunately I couldn't access the free WiFi, perhaps due to my antiquated mobile phone. I wanted to tell Jane but didn't see anyone when I left this morning. Also just a suggestion but if two people stay in the cottage I feel an occasional comfy chair would be appreciated too as otherwise it's either sit on the sofa together or sit on a hard dining room chair.
The self catering cottage was spotlessly clean and very well presented. The kitchen although small was very well equipped and I used the microwave, cooker and washing machine without any problems. There was a little jug of milk and a bottle of water in the fridge for me to use. The bedroom and ensuite were so pretty and with plenty of room. The shower worked very well and the bed was so comfy. It was good being able to park right by the cottage too. The weather was mostly fine/sunny so being able to explore the grounds and walk through the woods was great, so lovely seeing the spring flowers. I have just come home from 3 nights at Lobhill and I very much appreciated the peace and quiet as I was in Devon for my friend's funeral.
