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 KingdomAs above, i booked on behalf of my work. I had no negative feedback what so ever about the house, the only recommendation they had was; - We found booking a taxi very difficult so a dedicated number of who they use would be great.
I booked this on behalf of my Boss, for a team building event. Their feedback was as follows; - Lovely setting with beautiful walks immediately available from the property. Well appointed kitchen area with ample room for large groups. - I thought it was a lovely house. Clean, and well stocked for anything we needed. The Farm dog was a bonus too! - Location was very easy to find and parking was ample. Great location for the countryside walks. House, nice and clean and very warm, so comfortable for everyone. We found booking a taxi very difficult so a dedicated number of who they use would be great.

United KingdomThe TVs didn’t work particularly well and had limited channels.
Fantastic rural location a few miles outside Stow-on-the-wold. Spacious and very well equipped.

United KingdomThere are many (many!!!) small things in the house that are broken. I think there was at least one thing in every room that was broken - light fittings, toilet roll holders, shower heads, towel rails, window locks, etc. I highly recommend that you have a handyman go through the house and fix all these little things. That would bring the whole house up to the level it deserves. It really is a great house, and the little niggles are very annoying and detract from the overall quality. The shower in the ground floor bedroom in the house with the ‘drinks’ kitchen is absolutely not safe. The step into and out of the shower is very high, and when the person’s foot is wet, getting out of the shower is incredibly slippery and dangerous, with no handhold other than the heated towel rail (which is a good reach away, and also hot!!). To separate the rubbish between general recycling, glass, and general waste is a great idea. It would therefore be helpful to have more than one bin in the kitchen so that we could separate the rubbish as we went along. Not having wifi throughout the property is a real drawback, particularly given the unsurprisingly weak reception most people had on their phones. I strongly recommend that you do whatever you have to do to ensure that wifi is available throughout the property, even if that means having to have two separate wifi circuits. Having a smart tv is only useful if there is internet connectivity - which there was not, making the ’smart’ tv much less intelligent. When the power went off on Saturday night, which I appreciate is not something under your control, it would have been good to have a torch or some candles and matches. Many properties I have stayed in before have a basket or drawer with some useful bits and pieces such as these - and maybe tape, scissors, elastic bands, a pen, etc. Another useful thing would have been a collection of user manuals.
The house itself is fabulous. Having 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, with two kitchens etc is incredible for a group the size of ours - we had 18 people sleeping there. The outdoor facilities, the location, the linens and towels, the kitchen amenities, Mark’s helpfulness, were all big plus points. It was great having two dishwashers, two fridges (actually three!), etc, and plenty of cutlery, crockery, chairs, etc.
