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 KingdomI cannot think of a thing that I didn’t like.
Everything. The village the property is in is beautiful. The accommodation itself was peaceful, beautiful and well equipped and our host was amazing, offering suggestions for activities, meals, transport etc which was really appreciated. She also left breakfast. Cakes and hot drink which was very kind. A thoroughly wonderful stay 😊

United KingdomThe bed was quite hard/uncomfortable, however it is always difficult to sleep in a different bed to the one at home. The toilet seat also kept coming off.
Such a beautiful and cosy cabin. The decor was stunning. We were also given a cake, fresh bread, hot cross buns, jam and butter, as well as milk and cereal, which was very much enjoyed. The host Karen and her son were so welcoming and polite! Karen even went the extra mile to make the sign, add rose petals and even wrote us a card for our 10 year anniversary ❤️ It was so special and really appreciated.

United KingdomThere isn't really a breakfast included- it's a small collection of basics which are provided from which it's possible to make a basic breakfast. No ground coffee, only instant. There could be just a few more utensils in the kitchen- in particular a wooden spoon or spatula and a couple of egg cups and maybe a couple of larger mugs. It wasn't the end of the world, they just would have been nice to have. There were no packs for starting the wood stove in the little honesty shop. I could have asked the host but didn't want to bother them.
The location, tucked away at the end of the owner's garden, was perfect. Quiet and self-contained, with a large garden in which to exercise my dog. It was really easy to find the property and it was warm and well lit when we arrived. The host, Karen, was lovely although I didn't get to meet her until the following morning after arrival.
