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 KingdomNothing to fault.
Great base for visiting local attractions, such as Sandringham House and Gardens and the North Norfolk coastline. Beautifully decorated and furnished premises, quality, stylish fixtures and fittings. Bright and cosy bedroom. Lovely hosts who greeted us at the property and explained the set up. The continental breakfast each morning was excellent, tea/coffee/juice, cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts, pastries, bread, cheese/salami platter. Parking available on site. Would recommend staying at The Old Bell.

We stayed at the old bell for a wedding and had an amazing stay. Our room was immaculate, exceeded our expectations with tea, coffee, biscuits in the room. A mini fridge with fresh milk was also provided. The bathroom was spotless with ample fluffy towels. Breakfast was a continental style with cereals, fresh fruit, pastries and meats. Toast, teas and coffee was served too. Our hosts, Greg and Jacqui were knowledgeable of the area, kind, and took the time to chat with us. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning. Fantastic. Thank you, Sarah and Pete.

United KingdomJust one tiny detail - the motion sensor light in the short corridor off the bedroom. Also, the bath water wasn’t hot enough, but I forgot to mention this to the owners, so this comment is just for their information. I’m sure they’ll look into it.

United KingdomThere is nothing, genuinely at all that could be improved.
The hosts are incredible. So warm, friendly and welcoming. We stayed in Anmer room with the bath. The room and the b&b itself is immaculate, really chic but also homely. Not a spec of dust or dirt anywhere. Quality toiletries in the room and even the room kettle is a quality dualit one. Bedding and towels are perfection. Thoughtful touches like a fridge with fresh milk in the room. Breakfast was delicious. Fresh pastries and bread/ toast, fresh fruit, a beautiful selection of cereals. My husband commented how much he enjoyed the quality of the orange juice and the coffee and he enjoyed the meat and cheese at breakfast. Opposite is a little premier shop - great as we’d forgotten our toothpaste! We enjoyed our stay that much, and was made to feel that welcome, that we have set up to be regular fortnightly guests!
