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 KingdomHeating downstairs wasn't great. Internet didn't work for 2 of the days. Floors weren't particularly clean.
Good location.

United KingdomThe pillows on the bed were very flat and even though there were 4 it did not make for a comfortable night's sleep. We would advise other guests to take a pillow or two. We were not aware the garden for the cottage was across a public path. As people regularly walked past the front (and only) door it was not possible to sit in the garden without locking up the cottage.
Ideal location, perfectly situated for exploring the local area. In a quiet position with parking alongside. The cottage was VERY clean, we were amazed when we opened the fridge - very impressed! Kitchen is well stocked making cooking pleasant. Attention to detail was great with kitchen roll, toilet roll, dish soap, washing powder and hand soap all provided.

United KingdomFacilities were basic- bath sheets would have been better than the tiny bath towels provided, one of which was stained; dishcloths were provided but one of those had horrible stains on; (we ended up using that as an oven glove as there wasn’t one provided) no grill tray in grill pan which someone else had pointed out previously, only to be told to use foil lined baking tray! That’s ok for toast but not bacon/sausage etc. when you don’t want them sitting in fat; large front ring on hob not working; plinth in front of kitchen units constantly falling off as it wasn’t attached; when we used the extractor fan and opened the door on it we had to hold the adjacent cupboard door out of the way as it was loose and caught on the extractor door; Wi-Fi wasn’t working properly for first two days. It would have been good to have a clothes airer rather than having to use tumble dryer when doing some washing.
Location was ok but disappointing that outside space was across a public footpath and not really private. Rooms were good sizes and clean although it did smell of dogs when we arrived. Probably would have benefitted from windows being open a while between guests. Bed was comfortable and slept well. Pub across road was nice.

United KingdomIt was just too quiet, our cottage had no back or front garden, we had nowhere outside to just sit and read,we just sat in and kept the door open. We felt there had been dogs staying there too it smelt pretty bad first couple of days and the floors were very dirty, I dropped bread butter side down on the kitchen floor and when I wiped it the kitchen roll was literally black it was such a shock. The bedroom was great very big and bright, the bathroom good too, living room small but very cosy for two.
Otterburn to our dismay had nothing there except otterburn mill and 2 wedding venues one of which was closed for maintenance, Le Petit Chateau opposite our cottage was the only pub but it did serve lovely meals, there's also a small convenience store just up the road
