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!! (apart from the weather, of course) :-)
Karen is the perfect host – a warm welcome with tea and cake on arrival, a lovely quiet bedroom with comfy bed and everything you could need, including bottled water, biscuits and fresh fruit. Spotlessly clean. Superb breakfast with wide range of cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit and extensive choice of cooked breakfasts. Nothing was too much trouble for Karen, who even bought us coffee in the evenings when we were relaxing in the lounge! Definitely be back again.

United KingdomThere's nothing we can think of.
The owner is a very nice lady who went every extra mile in making us very welcomed and satisfied with our stay. The room was very nice, very lit and spotless. Oh, and very very quiet, which we did appreciate. The breakfast was of "what ever your heart desire" type and there's nothing we could ask for more. The property is a very short drive from the beach. We will definitely come back.

United KingdomI didn't have an ashtray so felt awkward dumping butt's under the bench. There wasn't any decaff coffee/ tea in the room, it would have been nice since in the morning I would go straight down for a proper cafetiere coffee and didn't find use for the sachets upstairs. I didn't want to be awake all night but would have appreciated a warm cup.
Host was very friendly and made you feel at home. There was a variety of different things for breakfast, I had a hard time choosing from the breakfast menu. The fry up was exclusively tasty, nothing like a Premier Inn Fry up.

United KingdomThis property has two rooms to let and the room with ensuite had already been booked. We had a private bathroom adjacent to our room which was fine but would have preferred the ensuite if we go again
Breakfast was first class with plenty of cold options and we chose the time of breakfast and our hot options the night before which was fine. The portions qwere huge and far too large for my wife to eat.

United KingdomWalking options are limited as the roads are narrow with no footpaths.
Breakfast was fantastic with a good selection of fresh fruits and cooked selections including full English and Omelettes. The rooms were all very clean and Karen was super helpful - including booking us a table for Sunday dinner at a local pub. Being an old cottage, some doorways were extremely low but all rooms had good ceiling height so this wasn't a problem.
