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 KingdomNothing to say here, it was perfect.
An amazing warm friendly welcome. We were immediately made to feel at home by Neil and Tyrone. The cottage is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The location in the centre of the pretty town of Porlock is perfect. Myrtle cottage has a beautiful garden which you are able to sit in and enjoy and even on one day we had our breakfast in the garden. Oh yes, the breakfast...amazing, beautifully presented perfectly cooked, great selection. The rooms were well equipped and full of character, as it is obviously in a quaint cottage they are not big but they are well organised and super comfy beds and lovely bathroom. We will always think of the friendly atmosphere and when in the area again will definitely want to stay here.

United KingdomThe fact I only stayed one night! I booked this stay to break up a long journey, but both Myrtle cottage and the surrounding area deserve a longer visit, so I plan to return with my wife.
From the warmest welcome to the cheery au revoir, it was a comfortable flawless stay.

United KingdomPerfect stay in a central location close to amenities. Would stay again.
The room was beautifully decorated and we were welcomed by the lovely hosts. We sat in the garden after we arrived and before we went to dinner at the Ship pub just over the road, which is very convenient. The beds are comfortable with lovely, smooth sheets and there is tea and coffee and biscuits in the room, a hairdryer and very clean shower room. The hosts welcomed my dog and even gave her a dog treat.

Tyrone couldn’t have been sweeter and more accommodating, despite my late arrival (I kept in touch by phone to let them know ahead of time; they were so helpful!). Breakfast was really generous and delicious too, so so grateful! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

AustriaSuch a shame that I had to move on after just one night. Can't decide which was lovelier: the cottage itself, the hosts, the cosy garden or the delicious breakfast. It was just all great and I felt immediately welcomed once I stepped through the door. Absolutely recommended. :)

United KingdomHaving now walked the majority of the South West Coast Path have to say our stay here has to be one of the best. A lovely comfortable room, amazing shower. This quaint little B&B was smack bang in the middle of the village. Prefect stop off for those walking the coastal path with a lovely little pub around the corner for dinner. The hosts were amazingly friendly with great attention to detail. Breakfast was delicious with tasty homemade cake on offer on arrival.
