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 KingdomNo reception or staff. Was very much like a hostel. Room was just unlocked on check in so anyone could have been in the room before I arrived. Bit of a strange set up.
Good location for what we needed

It is just rooms in a big House: mine was very nicely done. Tea/Coffee/Breakfast are all "Make it yourself" in the downstairs kitchen, which was fine, and more than acceptable. Has parking on the front and in a back yard. Lovely setting and garden/tree views

United KingdomSomewhat overheated on arrival, but the warm weather was exceptional and it was a quiet place with the windows wide open.
A good, tree-lined location within a quiet district of Old Harlow, but close to routes of access. About 15 minutes pleasant walking from Harlow Mill railway station. The shared kitchen facilities were like a hostel, adequately supplied but not lavish. Nothing beats a cup of tea when you need one.

United KingdomMy room and my sons was just soo hot. There were pipes behind a panel in our rooms and no way of turning the heating down. Great in the middle if winter, not even the fan in my room cooled it any and my son didn't have a fan. I got very little sleep due to this x Must add that overall the actual guesthouse was amazing x
Loved the location so much and the house itself was fantastic, also how attentive the host was.

United KingdomThere was a very invasive cooking smell coming from a nearby room it was very strong in our room and even a film of cooking fat steam, we had to have the window open for a long period to ease the smell, which was on our clothes the day after. I think there may be a self catering room upstairs as the smell was also throughout the stairs and landing
Lovely old house and modern decor. Great location and comfy beds & bedding. Generous continental breakfast

United KingdomSelf service breakfast with very little selection, just cereals, yoghurts and bread for toasting. Although there was a selection of jams there was no marmalade! Horrible smell on landing and stairs outside our room (5) on first floor. Our friends were staying in Room 4 and the smell was particularly bad in there.
Good price. Good location to venue of wedding we attended at “That Amazing Place”.
