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.).

FranceIt is very central in the town, which makes it a bit noisy from time to time (we stayed there on a Saturday night)
It was so cozy and warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing time away. It was also super clean - and I am quite picky... We look forward to returning in the future !

United KingdomAs coffee lovers, it would have been helpful to know in advance what kind of pods the machine used and to leave a couple of pods to start with or a cafetiere ( which we had to buy at the local hardware shop)
Great location beside the river. Very comfortable and cosy cottage.

United KingdomThe house was lovely, super clean and well equipped. The riverside garden was amazing, and it was lovely watching the birds in the evening. Cathy was brilliant, super helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. There was plenty of information on activities to do in the area and the house is well located. There are also supermarkets within walking distance.

United KingdomNothing of real significance. However, a minor point is that parking off-road on the property grounds is not easy as there is a gate to open and shut which takes time, and it leads onto a fairly busy road. This was not a problem for us though, as there was plenty of parking on the quiet road outside the property. We actually found the on-road parking to be more convenient.
The Toll house is a quirky and delightful old building exuding quality throughout. The furnishings, kitchen equipment/utensils, bedding, and everything provided in the house were topnotch. We especially enjoyed the summer house at the bottom of the garden and, as we were fortunate to have really fine weather, we enjoyed relaxing in the summerhouse with a glass of wine/prosecco watching the fish jumping in the River Cree and the bird life flitting about on the water. The house is in an ideal location for exploring Galway forest and the nearby coastline. During our 4 night stay, we watched red squirrels feeding from the hide in Kirroughtree, fed red deer in the forest and enjoyed the delights of Wigtown and Portpatrick, amongst other things. There are some superb walks in the area and many other things to do that will merit a return visit at some point in the future.

United KingdomNothing, again, people often write nothing, and again, in this case it's true. I can't see how anyone who stays here can find anything wrong with the place.
Everything, people often write everything, in this case, it's definitely true. Everything is catered for here, there is nothing the accommodation lacks. If you bought this place, as it is, you wouldn't have to buy anything.
