How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The en-suite bathroom was quite small and my husband struggled a bit but it was newly renovated and spotless so it was fine. Lots of hot water.
Our room and en-suite was spotlessly clean, we were well received by Natasha who is welcoming and friendly. Full breakfast the next day was excellent.

All good
Natasha and Colin were very friendly and accommodating. We had a welcome cup of tea on arrival. The room was very clean and warm. We ordered the evening meal which was excellent value for money. You can buy wine for the table. Breakfast was very good and set us up for our long drive ahead. We would definitely stay here again it was very quaint and quiet. We wish Natasha and Colin the best of luck.

Everything was great
Natasha and Colin were very accommodating hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They were so welcoming and it really felt like we were staying with friends. We liked having a drink in the bar, and we chose to eat in on one of the nights which was excellent. There was a good choice for the breakfasts and Natasha has an excellent memory for what you like! Spotlessly clean rooms with everything you need and we particularly liked the little touches like fresh milk each day in a flask. Beautiful location with good walks from the door. Most definitely recommended.

The power shower didn't work very well, with the temperature being difficult to control.
We got the warmest of welcomes from Natasha when we got to the Seven Stars, with a cup of tea on arrival. Our room was small, but with everything we needed and very clean and newly decorated. Both Natasha and Colin were attentive hosts, clearly very proud of their B&B, which they have renovated from scratch. We had a lovely supper, with a roaring log fire going in the dining area. Breakfast was just as good. The village and church were lovely.

Nice quiet village location. Does an evening meal, which is great for anyone hiking or cycling as without a car in rural locations, the last thing you want to do is walk/cycle miles at night for a meal. Food was excellent - all local produce. Our bikes were stored securely for us under cover.

We ate in the restaurant on the evening and the meal was delicious , very well cooked by the host Colin and served by his lovely wife Natasha and along with the drinks was excellent value for money.
