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 KingdomWe think they had covered all areas of customer satisfaction so there was nothing to dislike
Tyrone and Neil were exellent hosts very friendly and attentive. A lot of thought had been given to the furnishings and comfort of the cottage and all work had been finished to a high standard. We very much appreciated the final touch as we were leaving that they had cleaned our car window screen, thank you.

United KingdomOur second visit to Myrtle Cottage and once again very much enjoyed Neil and Tyrone's exceptional hospitality. They go above and beyond to provide a warm welcome, with added little luxuries. The cottage is comfortable, classy and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is lovely - we enjoyed the delicious fresh fruit salad and Full English.

United KingdomBeware of low door thresholds - definitely part of the charm of the building but tall people should take care!
Charming property, beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. There were lots of little extras, including a slice of delicious lemon drizzle cake on arrival. The host were friendly and charming and couldn’t have done more to make my stay enjoyable. The value for money was outstanding.

United KingdomEverything about Myrtle Cottage was amazing, the owners are lovely and will do all they can to make your stay homely and perfect. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with all the mod cons. There are loads of great finishing touches which make the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable! The breakfast was possibly the best I've ever had, with high quality local ingredients (10/10 sausages). My partner also loved that the owners went out of their way to provide an excellent vegetarian breakfast with good vegan bacon. Overall, the best B&B we've ever been to and a bargain for the prices charged! We'll be recommending it to friends and family for a long time.

United KingdomNothing, it exceeded all my expectations.
Neil and Tyrone were the perfect hosts - friendly, helpful and accommodating. I came off the moor after a 2 day wet and muddy hike, having fallen in a river 3 times, and within minutes I felt like a little prince - supplied with slippers, homemade lemon drizzle cake and a hot bath! Very comfortable room and a great breakfast, I really could not have asked for more.
