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 KingdomSuch a lovely room. Beautiful furnishings, excellent bathroom, amazing shower! And lovely gift on arrival in the room. Breakfast was continental with an offer of cooked eggs. Everyone sits together in a lovely dining room, which we really liked. Staff were great. A little out of town, but very quiet.

Fantastic location for station and walking into town. My daughter had arranged with Kathryn to decorate our rooms with balloons , poccessco and chocolates for our anniversary. Nothing was too much. Very friendly and bubbley personality, wonderful host. Thanks for a lovely stay.

United KingdomI didn’t like the coffee. There were 3 machines and all complicated to use with no milk pods so when you added milk the coffee was cold. There was only continental breakfast available which was not clear when we booked.
I liked the position of the B&B. I like the little touches of wine and chocolates on arrival in our room. I liked the shower. I liked the piece and quiet. I like the decor of the rooms.

United KingdomThe access process was to pick up our keys, front door left open. Unfortunately another guest locked the front door so we had to wait to get in. Rang the host and she arrived within 5 minutes so nothing really lost.
Easy going, friendly staff and we felt right at home and able to come and go as we pleased.

Kathryn made us feel really welcome, she was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. Everything was immaculately clean and the house has been refurbished to an exceptionally high level with attention to detail.

United KingdomEverything was to our liking and so I can't really think of anything that would make me write anything negative nor constructive.
Kathryn is a brilliant host, really warm and attentive. Couldn't fault our stay and will definitely book again in the not too distant future. The Captains House is perfectly located opposite the train station, behind the pub, so very easy to get back after a lovely evening out.
