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.).

Neil and Kathy are very welcoming. Always ready to satisfy our needs. They provided us with a plenty of information. Room has all you may need during your stay (hairdryer, toiletries, charger, kettle, biscuits etc). Delicious breakfast. If you love nature and looking for a spot in the countryside, this is the right place to stay.

New ZealandKathy & Neil were very welcoming with their cup of tea & cake on arrival. Breakfast was homemade bread & preserves and vegetarian sausages for one of us. We were given a lot of local info which was useful & directions to avoid various roads when we left. We had a lovely spacious bedroom with a lot of extra touches included (tissues, nail brush, organic toiletries). The ensuite & shower was a bit 'cosy' with a low ceiling. Great views out over the fields from our 2nd story

United KingdomThey couldn't do more, but for my husband with some mobility difficulties, the stairs and uneven pathway presented a bit of a challenge.
Lovely friendly welcome with tea and cake on offer. Help with suitcases, parking and lots of ideas for outings, etc. The property is elegantly modified for guests yet keeps its character and history on show. We felt very rested as the location is very quiet. Breakfast was plentiful and ready when we were. Lovely home produced jams, honey and bread and otherwise locally sourced too. Neil and Kathy always around if we needed help or just an interesting chat. Took advantage of some reflexology while there which was excellent and reasonably priced. Local restaurants are good quality.

United KingdomThat we didn't have time to stay longer!
The location of Lodge House was perfect, tucked away in a lovely rural location, so quiet and peaceful, but also within relatively easy reach of all locations we wanted. Neil and Kathy could not have done more for us, so welcoming and gracious. The home cooked food was delicious and the breakfast was perfect, all home cooked and some home grown and a plentiful amount that gave us a good start to the day exploring. Our hosts were helpful in providing local information and maps we could use and were most accommodating, it was a lovely stay and will return.

United KingdomThere was an array of breakfast cereals, homemade bread and preserves which I chose not to eat, so I could save myself for the cooked breakfast but wish I had as the cooked breakfast was not enough for me, I could easily have eaten twice what was on the plate! So not really a complaint, just an observation.
Set in a tiny village, down a tiny lane, this place is so peaceful. The cottage is pretty old fashioned downstairs but this does not reflect the rooms. I stayed in the King size deluxe at the top of the house. The room was beautifully renovated, maintaining original beams with a clean and modern interior. The tea and coffee in the room was plentiful, with biscuits etc. A smart tv enabled me to log into my Netflix account. The ensuite was modern, with a good shower. Kathy was a great host, offering me homemade cake and tea on my arrival. I highly recommend a stay here, it was great value for money.

United KingdomIf you are particularly tall, the shower may be a small problem as the roof slants down reducing height. We had no problems though. Part of the charm of the house.
Kathy & Neil were very friendly and helpful. Greeted with a cup of tea and home made cake when we arrived. Breakfast was very good, with a good choice of cereals, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast. Room was clean and comfy with plenty of room, bed large and comfortable. Location very quiet and easy to get to from the main road. Nothing was too much trouble, Kathy and Neil did a great job of ensuring we had everything we needed to have a lovely stay.
