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 KingdomOnly thing I dislike is out of the owners control- the birds having a trampoline session in the morning! It must be because of their young, as we didn't have any birds bouncing on the car windscreen ( literally laughing at their reflection)last time 😂 to be honest its a small price to pay for a great property and great communicative owner/property manager.
This was our 2nd stay here. The property has driveway parking, its very near shops superstore and petrol station. It has great easy access to A1 north and south, mins from A66. It has 3 bed rooms, 1 ensuite, 1 bathroom and 1 WC. Perfect for family living.

United KingdomNot much really. We couldn't get the TV to work - maybe batteries gone in the remote?? But we didn't have time to investigate this further. No recycling - but this may be an issue with Darlington council..
It is clearly really well kept. The back garden was beautifully tended and that was appreciated, even though we didn't have time to spend out there. It had all that we needed for an overnight stay. Things have been thought about - pegs ready on the line for example. The themed bedrooms were a nice touch.

Such a delightful home! Such a wonderfully touching back story to how the home came about, which you can read on the wall in the hallway. The beds were extremely comfortable. We all slept really well! The kitchen is well equipped, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back next year...

There was more than enough space for 2 couples to have privacy in the evenings Brilliant, quiet location Quite large garden, would be lovely in summer months, and sand bin was provided for those of us who smoke.

SingaporeBoth toilets are upstairs, not so convenient for those who needs the toilet frequently. The rooms upstairs are much colder than the rooms on the ground level, I guess this is a structural issue, not something that the owner can do anything about. Those staying there just need to assign the right people to the right rooms, considering usage of toilets and cold resilience for winter months
The place is very clean, especially all the bed sheets, and kitchen equipment. The owner takes care of all the fine details including what we might need in the kitchen, eg kitchen spices, tin foil for roasting, baking paper, plastic wraps and paper kitchen towels. Sometimes for a short stay, we just need a little bit for 1-2 meals, we do not need to buy a whole roll of plastic wrap or foil. I needed an extra z-bed in the room upstairs but I forgot to inform the owner in advance. As I was staying a few days, She came early the next morning and set up everything by herself!! Even carried the z-bed up the stairs!! There's 3 very spacious bedrooms. There's lots of space to put your luggage - for overseas travellers There are 2 toilets - so there's no fight for the toilets in the morning. There's also extra toilet rolls provided! Some places only provide the initial roll and no extras! Little touches to the place, eg setting up a Christmas tree during this festive season is very sweet. As this is a family bonding trip - it was nice to be able to come to a living room with a Christmas tree even though we are not at home - it brings the Christmas spirit to our holiday. Neighbourhood location is in a quiet, safe residential area. I feel safe coming in and out of place. Morrisons is just about 5min drive away. The master bedroom upstairs has a small kitchen, TV and ensuite bathroom and toilet. Overall, definitely value for money and the customer service is superb!! Thank you Shona for making our stay so pleasant... And making memories for our holiday
