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 KingdomJust don’t expect to be near a sandy beach. The name of the property and the ‘stone’s throw’ are a bit misleading, if that is important to you.
The little house is lovely, everything nice, comfortable, well-equipped. Wasn’t expecting the delicious cream tea. Very pleased, the best of seven places I stayed on this trip.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at The Studio! We can’t wait to return. It was perfect from the moment we arrived. Donna greeted us and showed us the key had been left in the door and that she had very kindly left a cream tea for us in the fridge. This was such a welcome treat after our journey. We unpacked and let our doggies in and enjoyed our cream tea alongside a great choice of teas and coffees available. The Studio is beautifully decorated with a modern and clean feel. Donna has thought of everything to make your stay as convenient as possible. I had forgotten my phone charger plug and the lamp had USB ports, so allowed me to charge my phone. Donna has carefully created her own guidebook with great recommendations about local places to visit or eat. We loved the decor and thought the picture of nearby Holcombe beach was a great connection to the local landscape. There is everything you could wish for with a great selection of books including history of local stories and things to do around the area. A great choice to relax with, I sat out on the patio table with a coffee and read through a couple of books. There were also very thoughtful comforts provided such as hand creams and pillow spray to make your stay extra special. The bed was very comfy and we had such a relaxing stay. Donna is very knowledgable and approachable. She was on hand to ask for advice and tips, and was very responsive providing great recommendations. We look forward to future super comfy and enjoyable stays in The Studio! A huge thank you Donna for such a relaxing and refreshing stay by the sea and allowing us to stay in The Beautiful Studio in your lovely garden ☺️🤩
