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 KingdomMinor point is the squeaky doors. An extra shelf in the oven would have been great!
I liked that the house was clean, and that the check out time was 11 o'clock and therefore not at all stressful to vacate on time. The welcome treats left on the kitchen table on our arrival were very much appreciated. Great sea views from the front of the property. Master bedroom had a very stylish walk-in shower. Beds very comfy.

United KingdomThere were no serious negatives but visitors should know about a little noise from the port during the night (but only if that would be an issue for them).
The house was immaculately clean and very well stocked.

United KingdomThe Host Was Very Good Dealing With My One Complaint - My Family Still Enjoyed The Time Away!
Amazing Sea Views! Easy Access To Beach! Clean & Cosy Town House! Free Off Street Parking! Nice Clean Bathrooms! 3 Toilets! Very Comfy Beds & Furniture! Complimentary welcome basket. Lovely garden space with astro turf and no pets and no smoking! Clear instructions for everything from directions to wifi settings! Lots of space with games, books and movies to watch but we spent most time out of the property. Ideal place to get away for a few days as it has everything you need for that 'need a break' feeling!

United Kingdom- The dining table and chairs filled the kitchen area. With 5 of us sitting there was barely room for one to get things out of cupboards or oven without bumping into chairs at the back - We entered from the back after parking our car. The entrance was a bit disappointing, two very sad and dead dried up plant pots, artificial grass and balcony furniture that is very dated. Back entrance needs TLC - Cleanliness was good, but some attention to detail could have made it better (upstairs bathroom had some mould, the juliet balcony railing were very dusty and full of cobwebs) - The plates and mugs felt randomly put together. Not enough mugs for the 5 of us as we are big on tea and coffee drinking!
- Great location - nothing can beat those sea views! So close to everything too and that promenade walk was so lovely - Good bedrooms, comfy beds, plenty of storage and finally someplace that actually had enough hangers for us all! - Good decorative order throughout the inside of the property - Good wifi - Good selection of DVDs and indoor board games to keep kids entertained - Good kitchen appliances (toaster, kettle, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine) - Good communication with host before and during trip - Easy parking - Good recommendations by host - Landguard fort was great, nature reserve was lovely, Ruby's cafe was yum, the sea front gardens were nice, the kids loved the arcade, the Orwell river boat trip was lovely and Colchester zoo was amazing - Nice little touches by the hosts/ managers which we noticed - little shampoo and shower gels, hand soap and toilet rolls, foil, salt, pepper, other basics including tea and lavazza coffee, the sea themed paintings everywhere were very apt - Nice things we discovered very nearby - the "kitchen" has lovely food, cakes and coffee, the Waffle Shack on beach street is amazing as is the vegan restaurant and the smoke house

United KingdomThe house really is a lovely holiday home so cant think of many improvements. Maybe just another set of keys would have been useful so as a family we could have gone out independently.
Great clean and homely house with fabulous sea views. Beds are really comfortable and the house is equipped with everything you need. The communication from both the Owner and the Cleaning Manager were excellent and the Cleaning Manager even made a special trip to drop over some coffee pods to us when we were unable to source them in Felixstowe
