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 - everything was great
The breakfast menu was the best we have experienced with an excellent variety and tasted delicious. The room was large , very clean and comfortable with an en- suite with a fantastic large walk-in shower. Additional facilities in the room - tea, coffee, hot chocolate with a small fridge for fresh milk. Large and very comfortable bed. Private entrance to the room so when we came back from a wedding, we didn’t disturb our host. Our host Hannah was very friendly and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. An exceptional weekend break with 5 star accommodation and breakfast.

United KingdomTaxi company's trying to charge extortionate prices
Everything. The accomodation was 1st class, exceptionally clean & comfortable. Hannah was a fantastic host providing food to die for. The Swan pub (approx 1 minute walk), provide excellent food & a wide range of drinks & also dog friendly. Beware of Taxi charges !, we used Go-Too pre book mini bus service - very reliable, with pleasant drivers.

United KingdomAbsolutely beautiful and stunning. Such a comfy bed. Home made cake on arrival. Breakfast every day was amazing. We had the use of the upstairs lounge with stunning views of the country side. Our host Hannah was fantastic. We have stayed in many b&b's over the years, and this one tops the lot. I have not slept this well in ages. This is a must for anyone needing a quiet break. We will be back.

FranceNothing at all, it was perfect
This was probably one of the best B&B we have come across in the UK. Everything was perfect, so quiet, superbly decorated, and we were so well received - Hannah even baked a cake for us - delicious! Breakfast was fantastic - you can choose between different menus the night before, and the quality was top notch. Bonus prize: There is a very good pub just over the road, very convenient.
