How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The addition of a TV would have added to my comfort, but it wasn't essential and I did know that the room didn't have a TV when I booked. The shared bathroom downstairs was a little small but perfectly clean. The biggest negative was having to go downstairs and through the small shared kitchen in order to access the only toilet and the bathroom - so you had to be organised about this and carry everything downstairs with you (would suggest taking a travel bag). If the venue owner could stretch to installing an upstairs bathroom - or even a toilet and hand-basin, this would make the property a lot more comfortable for guests.
Good convenient location. Very welcoming and friendly host. Safe on-street parking near the property. Comfortable bedroom with the added bonus of having a toaster, kettle and microwave. This meant I could make a ready meal from the comfort of my room (which was very welcome on the first night as I was exhausted after a long day attending a course for work).

A little uncomfortable using what is basically the home owners bathroom facilities but that was just me and probably not an issue for most.
Clean, comfortable warm and friendly. Tea/coffee, toaster, microwave and mini fridge in room made this a good choice.

Nothing; the only thing to know is if you are sensitive or allergic to pets, there is a gorgeous dog living at the property (although she stays in a downstairs room totally out of the way). I think I may have been set off slightly near towards the end of my stay, but I have a very sensitive nose - even to aerosols etc, which I did set myself off with on a few occasions😆. If this doesn’t affect you much it won’t be an issue, and with everything else said above I really enjoyed my stay at this place.
Excellent location 1 min walk to the nearest bus stop and 13 mins to the Bushey overground station. Cosy bed, nice pillows and duvet. Large wardrobe, Mirror, Shelving. Microwave and even a fridge in the room which was extremely handy; also a toaster, kettle, mug/cutlery you may need. Was given a 5l bottle of water for drinking purposes and a little bottle of milk in the fridge for teas or coffees, which was lovely. There was a variety of herbal teas, normal tea bags and coffee sachets to pick from too. House was very quiet and on a quiet neighbourhood road. It felt like being in my room at home very calm atmosphere and felt safe. The host is very friendly and down to earth. I stayed for a few days for work and to see a friend. Extremely great value for money so I highly recommend.
