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 KingdomI think a few new kitchen utensils would be nice. Maybe some wooden spatulas or spoons, then the saucepans would not be so scratched. Otherwise, I was very happy with the cottage.
Lovely location, excellent heating system, we arrived in December during a storm, the house was nice and warm.

United KingdomThere were no outdoor areas to use, despite being advertised as dog friendly. It was a bit of a "building site" and looking back at reviews, it seems this work has been ongoing since last year. I think once completed it will be amazing. The house itself was basic but we didn't expect anything fancy and the price reflected the standard.
We were purely interested in the location, which did not disappoint. The view from the ftont of the house is amazing and the local walks are out of this world, if you are into hiking. It did the job for our two day break.

United KingdomThe couch seats 4 but would be nice to have an easy chair or two. Outdoor areas have a lot of potential but as above, owner is in process of landscaping at the minute, and wasn't really the weather for sitting out anyway!
Superb location, with views for miles across to Manchester. Although if felt rural, easy to get to Manchester. Owner is in process of landscaping outside, but that didn't affect us. Great value for money, host was helpful with advice about public transport and sorted us an earlier check in.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. The work that was going on was a bit noisy but otherwise there was nothing else we didn't like. Couldn't really fault it.
We could not fault the property. It was lovely and the view from the window was spectacular. The property had everything you needed for a short or long stay. We would stay there again and also would recommend to friends and family.

United KingdomOnly 2 mugs for potentially 4 people staying! The back garden was rather scruffy. Had it been Spring or Summer it wouldn't have been an attractive proposition to sit out at the back.
Roomy accommodation for the price. It wasn't far from where we needed to be the following day. It was close to The Old Original pub where we had an excellent, good value evening meal.

United KingdomMaybe a lick of paint in places, and a welcome pack explaining the cooker and hob, although the hosts did send a message to say if we needed help they would come to the property to show us how to use it. I personally didn't want to disturb them so it was trial and error for figuring out the oven.
The location was good and views were stunning. The house was clean.

United KingdomThe only negative was that the house was a little cold at night and the bedding was quite thin so my elderly mother did feel cold overnight - I know if we'd called the owners they would have increased the temp. and given extra bedding but it was well past midnight when we arrived and I did not want to disturb them so late.
The kitchen had all the required pots and pans. It would have been nice to have some basic supplies of oil, salt and pepper etc for basic cooking requirements. We brought our own breakfast stuff such as milk and cereal, tea bags etc just in case there wasn't these supplied...and its lucky we did. The kitchen was clean and the availability of a downstairs wc was very helpful. The view in the morning (we arrived very late at night as we were coming from London) was stunning.
