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.).

Nothing, really. The only comment I would make here is the number of times I was badgered by Booking.com and others to make sure that I paid and stayed. I must have had about twelve e-mails of different sorts between booking and actually arriving! This, however, was nothing to do with the lovely place and lovely people.
The place itself is beautiful - I stayed in a 500 year old room which was extremely comfortable - but it was probably the fine people who run the place that made it such a good stay. Very efficient and friendly, and with delightful senses of humour. The coffee and pastries in the cafe were truly good.

A very minor niggle was that the kitchen facilities were outside on the landing and shared with guests in the other room.
The host was extremely kind and helpful and provided free coffee and pastries in the coffee shop below. Lots of items such as coffee, milk and toiletries were provided too. Beautiful room with beams lovingly restored and tastefully decorated

The only thing I didn't like which had nothing to do with the accommodation but the taxi cost quite a bit from the station, so it's worth bearing that in mind, especially for round trips or going on to other locations during your stay. It would be best to have a car. Also, lots of flying things come in when the windows are open so a net would also be a welcome addition.
A great stay, really good communication, and hosts were friendly and helpful. The room was divine and the bathroom had everything you could want. There was also a fridge and plate area for tea and coffee making. I was staying for a local event and I have booked again for when I am in the area again. Highly recommended and there is a cafe next door with lots of treats. A local pub, a Fish and Chip shop, and a store for grocery supplies.

There's a mortice lock, and no night latch on the main door, but I guess it cuts down the chances of losing or locking yourself out when you go out. I think we didn't even lock the front door the first couple of nights (we were alone for the first 5 days). A sign on the door or something so both rooms agree to lock the front door each time would be good. Anyone could just walk in off the street otherwise. If adding a night latch 2 x key safes outside the entrance with spare keys would be good, just let people know the code of their room's key safe and its super easy to change the codes.
Very nice people, from SA. We stayed for a week at the end of August 2022. Beds were nice, we had twins. It was me and my son. Dogs barking in the next room (to the higher room) in the morning mostly but if you don't go to bed too late its not a problem. There are 2 doors between you and the hosts in the room we stayed in, which they remove to gain access, but that's after your stay. Lovely view out of our window. A sink and an air fryer would have been a good addition as I felt bad leaving dirty dishes for our hosts. Shower electric but worked well. Old house, but in good condition. Had Netflix and Amazon Prime on the small TV, kept my son occupied in the evening.
