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.).

IrelandNot a question of not liking, and the owner makes it very clear that there is a steep staircase to upper bedroom. Just not for immobile or inebriated 😁

United KingdomThe stairs to the top are very steep and uncomfortable. The pull-out chair downstairs is in bad condition, the mattress is too thin, the metal frame pierces through, it's good that we only stayed one night, the children couldn't sleep normally.
Everything was clean and tidy. Large size TV.

N/A for Breakfast. Location great for the town centre. Unfortunately i was only there for one night to attend a funeral. I will however bear this location in mind if i should be in the area again.

United KingdomThank you for the gift of your place in Thetford where we have dear friends we have visited many times. We’ve stayed at several establishments but your historic spot is one we loved the most. I shall tell my students about it this fall. Warm wishes. We are based at an Airbnb in Isleworth for a month. Wish we could leave you a review but our dear friend booked your place on our behalf. Will return.

United KingdomWe were a bit apprehensive about the steep stairs to the bedroom but got used to that quickly.
The sitting area was very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom very good. Throughout, the decor was attractive. The location was excellent. Although the bedroom was small, it was comfortable and nicely decorated. The accommodation was perfect for a couple.

United KingdomThe stairs to the upstairs bedroom were a bit scary - it did warn on the description that it was not suitable for people who had mobility issues. They are very steep.
It is beautifully decorated with a lovely little patio out the back. I loved the ambience - very relaxing. Lots of things there to make the stay comfortable - towels, hand towels, tea towels in the kitchen, well supplied kitchen. Excellent location. The shower room was lovely too.

United KingdomHappy with everything!
The host was extremely formative and helpful. The cottage was very clean and we really appreciated the little touches such as biscuits (my favourite) and tea/coffee etc. We ate at the pub one evening and the food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and so were the neighbours! We would definitely stay again!
