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.).

We had an absolutely delightful stay at the old bakery. Right from the start, Mo's housekeeping fairy extended a warm welcome that set the tone for our visit. The studio apartment exceeded our expectations, providing us with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. During a cold weekend, the studio apartment was a cozy haven, offering a perfect retreat from the weather. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The attention to detail was evident in the softness of the towels and the thoughtful provision of milk in the fridge—small touches that made a significant difference. The location was ideal, just a quick 2-minute stroll to the bustling town centre. Onsite parking was a definite convenience. To top it all off, the addition of chocolates and cookies was a delightful touch Our friends stayed at the cross keys the owners other accommodation and loved . Sherborne is a great place for a weekend

Everything. I work away a lot a need a home from home. The Bakery offers this and way more. I have now booked up for the next month, when I am in town. The host was exceptional and they even left treats for the stay with all the "little" things you need to save you going out. Its a smashing place and done to a very high standard. Well done

SwedenThe only thing to comment is the kitchen fan did some loud noises occasionally without being turned on.
It was great, right smack in the middle of the beautiful little town. The host was extremely nice and accommodating. We’d originally rented a different place but didn’t find it fit for purpose so this was last minute thing, but found it extremely clean, very freshly furnished, bed was very comfortable, all in all a great space. Host had left a nice welcoming selection of fruit milk, and other niceties. I go around a lot and this was hands down one of the better places. Even proper dense and big bath towels which usually isn’t a thing to expect even in the higher price classes.

United KingdomWe have allergies so the scented reed sticks were problematic (we ended up putting them in a cupboard but the scent was still quite powerful). Feather bedding may also be problematic for some but hopefully there are alternatives available on request.
Excellent location, very clean and comfortable with a generous welcome pack of groceries and toiletries. Great for two people.
