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.).

AustraliaDifficult to manoeuvre in the bathroom as it was small. Also crazy to carry two large suitcases through the back door up and down stairs just to get inside. Then the high staircase afterwards!
Beds were very comfortable and nice views from above

United KingdomNot really an issue of great concern but I would have liked some mint tea or fruit tea in the selection in the room.
The set up is ideal with self check in. Beautiful old building with lovely rooms. We stayed in the top floor and had nice views over the area. Great breakfast too.

AustraliaThe stairs outside were difficult to negotiate carrying a large bag. The Wi-Fi was patchy. The thickness of the walls didn’t permit good connections. When near the router the signal improved.
Tastefully appointed, capturing the olde world charm of yesteryear with modern additions that added to the experience rather than detracting from it.

United KingdomWe couldn’t fault it
We loved the atmosphere at this property. Everything was really comfortable and welcoming You could tell everything had been really well thought out. Beautifully furnished. Usually it is difficult to sleep on the first night but not here ! The breakfast was very good. We would definitely recommend The Old Rectory as a base. Nice that you can use a lovely garden area too

Everything apart from the WiFi not connecting to my laptop or 2 x phones and the owner blaming my equipment - for 3 separate devices to not connect would tell most people it's the WiFi not connecting as it should.

United KingdomThe code texted to me gave the 4 digits but didn’t mention to add star. The Booking.com site with the owner’s photo stated check-in could be at 13.00 but the owner said this was incorrect and lectured me about no hotels / B&Bs offering check-in before 15.00… not so! My issue was with what was clearly stated on Booking’s site; I hope he has since corrected this and also the error about the period of the house - 1842 is Victorian, not Georgian.
My spacious room with 2 windows offering pleasant views; the pretty fireplace in the “Green” room. An agreeable walk through The Walks into town.

United Kingdom1. No option to have check-in instructions 3 days prior to arrival - this would have alleviated a lot of anxiety. 2. No mention that the grandfather clock could be heard chiming at every hour - in the daytime, this would be delightfully quaint, but would be most unwelcome if you are a light sleeper trying to sleep at night.
Location was in a nice, mostly residential area, close to a lovely park. The hotel owner kindly agreed to my request for a top floor room. The room itself (Magnolia, large double bed) was beautiful & both the room & ensuite shower room were very clean. The self check-in worked well. The owner was very kind when I rang in a panic the day prior to arrival, to ask for the check-in instructions - it turns out that this is not usually texted to your phone until the AM of check-in day! As someone who plans itineraries, this was not ideal, but the hotel owner promptly sent me the instructions after a quick chat on the phone. All resolved, thankfully. All in all, a pleasant stay.
