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 KingdomSome dated prints and photographs let the place done a bit. Instructions for toilet, bath and bins were hand written on paper and very faded making them difficult to read. The fridge door needed mending
The location was very quiet with lovely scenery. The underfloor heating was cosy.

Great house, perfect for family of four. Super clean, with everything you need and good WiFi. The location is on a farm, but what you can't see from the photos is that you have total privacy and its also very quiet, so a good sleep is guaranteed! The garden is fine to sit out and for the kids to have a run around in. Host Rachel was very welcoming and gave us hints and tips of where to go. Would def stay again!

United KingdomThe listing mentioned a sofa bed but none of the sofas appeared to be sofa beds upon inspection so our 9 year old just slept on the large sofa as is. Also, the single beds in the first bedroom are not very comfortable and would be better replaced or topped with a mattress pad as you could feel the coils.
The pictures don't do it justice! Such a lovely cozy place with relaxing views. We especially loved the kitchen, woodburner and the sheep in the field next door!

United KingdomIt's hard to find something we didn't like. However the sun at the time of year (December) was low and so when sitting at the spacious kitchen table was in our eyes. The kitchen Windows are large (which is great for lighting) and could do with some blinds on the upper parts.
The living room was lovely, a wood burner and comfy sofas. There is a lovely games room with a mini pool table and a handful of games too. The matter bedroom is very spacious. The underfloor heating is lovely too, the whole home was warm when we arrived and was a great temperature during our whole start without having to adjust anything. When talking a strole around the farm we were warmly greeted by both staff and family.
