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 KingdomUnfortunately, the hot tub had broken for the majority of my stay - particularly when I had planned to use it most. Ruth and Dean worked hard to get it sorted, but it no longer fitted in with my plans to use when it was ready to use again - which was such a disappointment for me both financially and for my relaxing weekend.

Beautiful chalet with a hottub in Shropshire. Lovely clean accommodation with everything we needed for our short stay provided. Owner was very friendly on arrival and helpful. Rural location which had beautiful scenery around, would highly recommend booking Ruth's retreat for a small getaway before the mayhem of Christmas arrives.

United KingdomThe accommodation, we felt, uncomfortably close to the owners property, we felt we had little privacy. The microwave was rusty inside.
The accomodation was spotless, it was simply but nicely furnished, the host Ruth was helpful and welcoming. The location was lovely and although on the way there the lanes were a little precarious Ruth gave us alternative directions to a much better route in and out. The hot tub was amazing and soooo relaxing! There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area and some lovely villages and places to eat.

United KingdomI would recommend this to anyone! A lovely location and really easy to find, Ruth & Dean were so helpful telling us where restaurants/pubs etc were and the best way to get to them. Nothing was too much for Ruth and always willing to help. Ruth’s house is close by but I didn’t ever feel like our privacy was invaded. Its also so lovely to be able to go and see the animals. Everything was very clean and the hot tub was lovely, I will definitely be coming back!

United KingdomThere isn't anything not to like, everything is perfect.
The location is lovely, the cabin is clean and cosy and the hot tub is perfect. More importantly Ruth and Dean are extremely friendly and make you feel very welcome. We had the added bonus of getting the attention of the pooches Rosie Bud, Thunder and Lightening who are all absolutley adorable. I could not recommend this place enough for a perfect peaceful getaway. Thank you Ruth & Dean, we hope to be back soon 😊
