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.).

AlbaniaThe central heating and hot water provisions could do with a little improvement. Once you figure out the heating programmer, then it is fine.
The property is set on a beautiful part of Suffolk and it is perfect for a weekend break for a small family. Lovely setting, lovely lodge and friendly owner. Waking up to that country view, was just perfect for us. :)

Cosy, clean and comfortable with an incredible use of the main garden area! Bruce was so friendly and helpful but respected our privacy during our stay. We took our 6 month old puppy and he loved it. Not far from long Melford which has lovely pubs and restaurants but we had an Indian delivery and it was brilliant. Would definitely return in the future.

United KingdomThere was only a continental breakfast and this was not stated in the booking it just said breakfast included and I think this should have been explained a bit more. Nevertheless this did not spoil our break.
The location and property was excellent and the grounds was exceptional.

United KingdomWe’ve already given feedback to the owner about putting a fan in the bedroom but we did stay during an exceptionally hot weekend.
The cottage is in a beautiful spot, well away from the road and looking out onto large grounds that are planted to look like a parkland. The grounds are for the use of guests, which was great for our dog and lovely for us to be able to sit by the pond. The cottage is bigger than I was expecting for one bedroom and comfortable. We will definitely return.

United KingdomThe only thing I'd say is we didn't get any check in instructions, but when I rang on the day of arrival they were very prompt at answering and advising how to get in the cottage. Not really a negative but something to consider.
Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location. Owners were very accommodating and made up the bed downstairs in case our little one wanted to be down there. As she was too young, she did sleep upstairs next to us, so they offered to put the bed back away. As we were only staying a couple of nights and at a wedding for the majority of our time, we declined for them to do this. The accommodation had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy. The grounds were also beautiful that our cottage overlooked, even saw a deer on the first evening. Would highly recommend this place to stay.
