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 KingdomAlthough it was cute the sink in the bathroom wasn’t very practical. No microwave.
The location was perfect, close to the motorway but in a lovely rural setting. The secure garden was great for the dog.

United KingdomWould be nice if you could check in earlier. The road just adjacent to the property was very busy and noisy.
Lovely, extremely comfortable and clean cottage. Our dogs loved the secure garden. Everything that we needed and more was provided, really appreciated the extra details. Next time we will stay longer. Owner very helpful with directions and overall communication.

United KingdomThe road running by the property was a little noisy but was ok when you were inside. Although the property is dog friendly the fencing in the garden was low in some areas and might be easily jumped by some dogs.
It was comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated :) and had everything needed for a short stay. The biscuits and milk as well as tea and coffee were also appreciated. The directions to the property were easy to understand and it was easily located. The location was a short from where we needed to be too.

United KingdomNothing that I disliked but would be great if the place had a fan/aircon for the warmer months as that is the only thing that would put me off staying . Also a full length mirror in the double room would be handy to save me going into the twin room to use that one.
Easy to check yourself in. Clean. Quirky shower room. Very comfy double bed. Great spacious enclosed garden area for dogs. Handy private car space with gate. Great location for access to the M6 North takes about 5 mins.

United KingdomOnly minor comment is that the chicken wire fence sections could do with being the same height as the rest of the fence for a more enhanced enclosure for larger dogs.
What an amazing little place. We loved the decor and the extra little details such as the love hearts by the bed and the board games in the cupboard. The cottage had absolutely everything you would need and the secure garden was great for our dog to run around and would be good for bbqs and stargazing in warmer weather. The bed was comfy and we had a nice peaceful night which was just what we needed. We'd definitely recommend the cottage to friends and hope to be back soon.

United KingdomThe property is difficult to find if you aren't familiar with the area! The property is quite set back from the main gate and is adjacent to a private property gate- which can be confusing!
We loved our stay at the Cowshed! The property is lovely, clean, cosy and very comfortable! We had complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate (with marshmallows and biscuits!) We had plenty of board games to play, the signal/Wi-Fi was fantastic given the location, and we had the best nights sleep. Definitely recommend!

United KingdomThe drop at the end of the garden as we have silly dogs who during play were so carried away they didn't realise and fell off! Fortunately no broken bones but has the potential to cause an injury.

A fantastic cottage style accommodation in a nice location. It was nice to have a decent sized, enclosed garden for the dog. Some nice touches included a coffee pod machine, tea, coffee & milk as well as a Chromecast connected to the tv which allows watching Netflix etc. Plenty of board games & even a selection of vinyl LPs (remember them?) to play on the provided record player. All communication with Rosie was answered swiftly. I would definitely recommend it to anybody.

United KingdomNothing not to like.
Wow! The best Cowshed I have ever stayed in. Excellent value for money with so many great little touches to make a stay really comfortable. Coffee pods, dishwasher tablets, hand & body wash, tea bags & fresh milk. It was a perfect stop off on our way to the South from our travels in Scotland. Would certainly recommend and we will be back.

United KingdomLocation was great, nice and quiet and perfect for the dogs which we had to bring with us (this was a key requirement for this this trip and my primary reason for booking ). The property itself was spacious and very clean and perfect for our family. The owner also helped us to plan nice walks which helped immeasurably since we were travelling with young children. Would recommend this to others.
