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 KingdomCould do with some TLC & a bit of thought . A blind or curtain would have been nice in the top bedroom ( small window overlooking sainsbury) as lights shine in all night . Boiler does 'tick' all night-located at bottom of stairs / top bedroom Surprised, there was only 1 smoke alarm located in the kitchen - none in hallways ect Personally, it would be a good one night stopover, not a long stay
Location is great . House clean & very basic Outdoor space is good Managed to park outside

Instructions were email to us and it was very clear and easy to find and use the keysafe. Loved the location of the property and the closed garden for our dog, The beds were comforable

United KingdomWe found the property a little cold and the resting temperature of the thermostat was too low. A couple of pointers… a proper grill pan and rack would be ideal as would blinds in the kitchen. I was surprised at the mismatched towels one of which was stained. The bathroom blind was broken and the bath tap fell off twice although was easily reattached.
The cottage was exactly as the photos depicted, the bed was comfortable and the location was ideal. we did manage to get parking outside on the street for most of our stay which was definitely a bonus.

United KingdomCentral heating didn't seem to work in the twin bedroom, didn't complain because we weren't using that bedroom anyway. One of the windows on the landing wouldn't close because the handle was broken but again didn't complain because it wasn't too much of a big deal. Just a little bit of a cold draft. There is also a tiny window in the bedroom that didn't have a blind or curtain on it. I doubt anyone would have been able to see in but would have felt more private with a blind or curtain.
Really nice cottage in a good location. Everything you need is there. The huge bath was amazing! That's something that enticed us to this place. Host was really helpful, she called before we got there to make sure we had the code to get the key out of the lock box.
