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 KingdomThe mattress was very firm, too hard for us and we didn’t sleep very well. This was the only bad thing for us.
Surprisingly large for a one bedroom accommodation. Spacious bedroom and lovely garden. Resistant extremely good. Farm shop full of amazing produce. Lovely walks. We took our dog. Plenty of poo bins around the property. Perhaps have a dog field for them to stretch their legs as they have to be on the lead around the farm. A really lovely place as a base to see the rest of the island

United KingdomI did not realise there were steps in the property but that could be my bad for not checking. Made it tricky especially as mum not as mobile as she was. Not really a complaint just an observation.
Location perfect, cottage is amazing & awarded us the comfort of a home away from home. Would highly recommend from first contact with Melanie which was clear & made everything effortless. Even to come & see us to introduce herself. The Restaurant attached was simply mouthwatering & staff very friendly.

United KingdomThe bunk bed mattress was hard and springs were pushing onto my back which made it hard to get a good nights sleep. There was absolutely nothing else that I didn’t like. The bunkbeds would be fine for children but not really for middle aged adults.
Lovely location and the cottage was well equipped and very clean. Very quiet location with peacocks and chickens walking around. Even saw a red squirrel!!!! Although I was staying there on business I would happy stay again for a holiday and bring friends and family.

United KingdomGreat place to stay. The restaurant and shops are amazing as are the staff. The lemon cake is lush! The cottage was cosy and warm and had all you needed for your break away. Fluffy towels and a very comfy bed. Great fir dogs, as each cottage has an enclosed garden. The resident Peacock pays a visit, and you can watch red squrriels from the restaurant feeding from the feed stations.

Location so peaceful and serene. Yurt was perfect, clean and functional but packed full of character and charm. We loved getting a little closer to nature, starting and maintaining the wood burners and fire pit. Bonding back together as a family with No technology interruptions.
