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.).

Our stay was absolutely faultless. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect country escape. We loved the little touches in the room, such as the homemade fudge and fresh milk and elderflower cordial in the mini fridge and the list of suggested walks with accompanying laminated pamplets which included a map and instructions. Our favourite walk was to the local vineyard (Artelium) - which was very idyllic and the vineyard was superb.

United KingdomLittle things. Fridge noisy (but it was nice to have one). Bed not the most comfortable (but perfectly fine). Had to pick my way down the steps (but I think that was an oversight as there was a light on later).
This is one of those places you would call a 'find'. The bar is charming: comfortable, natural, friendly and old fashioned in the best way possible. The food was brilliant (and all the same descriptors apply). Room nicely done, bright and fun, with intelligently considerd facilities. Absolutely excellent shower.

United KingdomIt felt like arriving a a tucked-away country pub which the locals would wish to keep quiet about so that they could keep it to themselves! From the outside at the front, not much gives away the cosy, open-fired interior with cask beer barrels on show. Improvements in the garden point to an ambitious team with a vision for entertaining.

United KingdomThere is not much not to like, really. The only thing I could think of was the soggy path from the car park to the rooms.
We were very well looked after by attentive and friendly staff (particular thanks to Chrissie), the room was very spacious (we opted premium, other rooms looked much more modest in size) and well fitted. We found some unexpected comforts for a country inn like bathrobes, complimentary chocolates, milk and water in the fridge. The food is fantastic. A big and very delicious breakfast. We also had a fantastic lunch upon arrival. A really nice experience overall.

United KingdomThe steps up to the bedrooms at the back of the pub are a little hairy, but the staff are happy to help you negotiate them.
Very pretty pub with a roaring fire, and the emperor sized beds are like sleeping on a cloud. Hot and strong shower, homemade elderflower cordial and chocolates in the rooms. I’ve tried all the rooms during the time I’ve stayed, and they’re all great. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who are kind and attentive, including setting me off to work with a hot bacon sandwich because I was leaving very early. The food is also fantastic and VERY importantly, they are dog friendly. I’ve already booked to return.
