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 took 2 sports cars and found the narrow lanes with potholes a bit challenging but with slow driving and quiet lanes we didn’t encounter anything we couldn’t navigate safely.
Lovely clean property and very quiet. Hosts were amazing and everything you need was instantly available! Great communal courtyard and orchard to explore.

United KingdomThe cottage we stayed in could have benefited with having a small coffee table, but that's a very minor point. The cottage overall was fabulous.
Perfect location and really helpful and friendly owners. The cottages are beautiful and it was very special to be part of the farm. It's a quiet rural spot on a hill overlooking the Otter vale which is stunning.

It was a very quiet and pretty location in the middle of the countryside. The hosts were welcoming and helpful

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our mini break and like Russett Cottage very much. It was clean, well equipped and quiet. Communication was very good. We did get lost despite good directions from our host, but I think this was more down to my tiredness having had a long journey from Kent and it was dark. We arrived later than anticipated, but were met by our friendly host, Ruud, and shown in. There was a warm scone and jam, which was a really nice touch, and tea and coffee. They also supply washing up liquid, kitchen roll (no tea towel), loo rolls and hand soap in bathroom. The laundry room is just off the very pretty courtyard and has good laundry facilities, there is also a freezer full of baked goods which you can buy and leaflets on local attractions and there’s a selection of DVDs available. For families with young children, there’s a sheltered play area off the courtyard too. I would happily recommend staying here and we will definitely be back, it was charming.

United KingdomThe only thing I would suggest is a larger sign outside but I don’t expect many people arrive in the dark on a cold winter night!
Our family of four, with 5 and 8 yr-old girls, stayed for one night in Russet Cottage at Mazzard Farm. It was kind of the owners to let us stay for one night only and to arrive late. We were on our way to a wedding so couldn’t stay longer. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. We really regretted not being able to stay for longer and will be back! Thank you to Ruud and family.
