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.).

Some good recommendations for restaurants made by the hosts also nearby & within a short walk. Room was good sized with great facilities. Breakfast was very tasty!

United KingdomThe Lorne House is very easy to reach by public transport - via Bath Spa and then Uber or bus. The guesthouse is delightful with a common sitting room and a kitchen that can be used by the guest. This was really great as we were travelling with our baby - I could use the kitchen to store her food and prepare her meals! We also made a good use of the sitting room during a rainy afternoon. The room was very comfortable, the shower was great but the best thing of all was the great energy and hospitality of Bob and Liz. Thank you!

What a great find this was. Lovely place that has recently been revamped according to the owner Bob. I arrived early and knocked on the door to ask if it was okay to leave my bag and car whilst I went off with a colleague. Bob immediately ushered me inside and gave me a key to my room. The room was very spacious, clean and well decorated. And the bed was probably the most comfortable I have slept in. I usually struggle to sleep away from home. Not this time, I was out like a light. Breakfast was really good, fresh produce cooked perfectly. The team here are really friendly and I couldn’t have wished for a better stop over. I would definitely stay here again.

ChinaThe hotel is situated next to a busy road, which might cause noise issues for light sleepers. Additionally, it would be perfect if the guests can enjoy the garden.
Liz, Rob, and their family are excellent hosts. The house was impeccably clean yet felt very homely. The facilities are impressive, and the location is easy to find. I was particularly impressed by the breakfast, which had a five-star presentation showcasing the hosts' refined taste and attention to detail. The stay was very comfortable—I highly recommend it.

IndiaLooked around with a critical eye and could only notice a scratched anodized plating of the washing basin drain cover. It would ideally be helpful if the hot and cold taps on the sink as well as shower had easy to understand signs for hot, cold and which direction to turn.
Good room size. Generous bath size. Well furnished. Friendly owners.

Lovely house with many old features. Bedroom was spacious and the bed was so comfy. Ability to use the kitchen if desired. Located approx 10-15 mins drive from Bath in a quaint little village and only a 30 minute bus ride (X31). Owners were very friendly and sourced some vegan sausages and oat milk for a vegan breakfast which was much appreciated.

United KingdomThe road outside is busy, that's literally the only thing but obviously that's nothing to do with the place itself. And once inside we didn't hear it at all.
Lovely welcome from Liz, we were Room 8, get this one if you can! One window pushes out to become a balcony! The comfiest bed, really lovely shower. The whole place is so clean and calm and quiet, we absolutely loved it. Breakfast was really nice, we had full cooked, I had the veggie version. We literally couldn't fault it. Stunning location too
