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 KingdomOur adult autistic son travels with us hence a room for three. There were two arm chairs, two outdoor chairs, two dining chairs. If you book a room for 3 it really should have 3 of these things. It was my 60th birthday and I had too drink my champagne out of a pint glass, 3 wine glasses would have made a big difference.
The style, being able to sit outside even when it's raining. Wooden flooring, more hygienic. Large shower.

United KingdomPillows and mattresses on both beds need replacing asap. We did not have a very comfortable sleep either night. That was ok for 2 nights but would've been an exceptional stay all round had they been comfortable. Smoking is permitted outside but there is nowhere to dispose of butts? Taking them into the lodge would create an odour (and a possible £100 fine). The courtyard was covered in cig ends and it will somewhat spoil what is a really lovely space. Finally (and this may just be me), there is no signage for the lodges and the entrance feels quite hidden. Probably "reasons" - it didn't stop me finding you, just made it.....a little tense in the car as sat nav told me I had arrived 3 times as I kept driving by 😳😒😔
We loved it. Quiet, lovely private courtyard with additional parking if required. Expected the lodge to be small but it was very spacious. Had everything we needed including lots of big fluffy towels. Shower was hot and not just a trickle, the lodge was spotless inside and out. Lots of amenities locally, including an excellent Turkish restaurant 5mins drive from the lodge. Had a walk in the evening around the park, which is across the road from the lodge entrance. Broadband service was fantastic, not a single complaint from my 15yr old son...happy mama here!

United Kingdomthe kitchen was not completely clean but everywhere else was.
Beds are so comfy. Great use of space, much bigger than we thought. Was really quick to heat up with two two radiators and a towel rad, and great ventilation with two windows and the door. It had everything we needed and lovely modern and tasteful furniture. Loved sitting out on the porch in the sun and the rain. Loved watching the sun come up with the park literally across the road. Kev couldn’t do enough for us, so helpful and friendly.

United KingdomAbsolutely zero interaction with staff. Needed a phone charger but had no idea who to ask for help or where reception was. Was given a combination to get my key out of a box and that was it. Like the whole hands off approach from staff and management but I felt they could have made some effort to get guests comfortable checking in and knowing where the basics are.. tea, coffee, check out time, nearest bars, restaurants etc etc.
Great set up and nice accommodation.

BrazilThe location is more appropriate for people who are driving. It is a 20-minute walk from the rail station and, if walking by night, there are some unlit paths.
Quiet, clean, comfortable accommodation. Spacious room and bathroom. Efficiently heated.

United KingdomIt is a bit difficult to find the house, as there is no sign, but it is right opposite the park and the rental properties are behind a large bungalow. Some of the lodges were rented to workmen, who left early in the morning.
There was tea, coffee, sugar, water, salt and pepper, washing up liquid, cloth and scourer and soap provided, a teatowel, towels and bedding plus toilet rolls. Kettle, toaster, fridge, microwave and 2 ring hob, plus cutlery, crockery etc. a tv and radio. Daily cleaning. The owner and staff were very pleasant and approachable. Near to Didcot station and two very nice pub/restaurants (both Greenking).

United KingdomWell kitted out and the shower was warm. However these are cabins with thin walls and so if you want to sleep you have to hope for considerate neighbours. Ours kept the TV on loud all night until 5am. Although we have reason to stay in Didcot often over the next few years, I'm afraid we won't ever be coming back here.

United KingdomThe cabins have very thin walls and are quite close together. If anyone makes any noise in another cabin, you'll hear it. They're also meters from the car park, so anyone driving also wakes everyone up. The curtains are also quite thin, so with the sound and the light I didn't sleep well.
