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.).

AustraliaThe leather lounge in the TV room was old and has lost its firmness and needs to be replaced. Likewise the leather chairs in the dining room were saggy. The outdoor seating area could also do with a makeover.
The location was on a small farm 10 minutes drive from Winchester, which is what we wanted. It is a quiet and pretty location,. It requires a car (which we had) to get into town and see the surrounding countryside. There is a nice pub within walking distance. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen/dining room are very spacious with nice views from the windows. The apartment was clean and the kitchen well equipped with tea/ coffee biscuits provided. And there is a washer/dryer which is great for travellers. Parking not a problem. The apartment is a duplex with the hosts living next door. They were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomWe moved a bedside table and lamp into the twin room as there wasn't one, but that's a very small detail in what was a lovely place.
Fabulous rural location but only a few miles from Winchester. Well equipped kitchen. Very warm and cosy. The Plough pub was very nearby and was excellent.

New ZealandThe location is stunning. If you want a quiet rural location this is the spot. The Annex itself is very well equipped with good facilities and very clean and comfortable. Ideal location to get away from it all and relax. It is very close to a wonderful top quality pub and grocery stores a few miles away.

United KingdomFound a pair of womens underwear in plain sight in one of the small cupboards. I had emailed and asked if a carton of Oat milk could be provided for breakfast for the morning as late getting to the property but no acknowledgement via email or messages to say if it could or couldn't be done. Rubbish was piled next to the bin at the side of the property and the vacuum was full and didn’t know how to empty it.
Exceptional rooms and space. The gardens were perfect for the children to run around and play in and the views were amazing from every window. I liked that it had a washing machine and even washing tabs. The furniture was comfortable and easy to use equipment in the kitchen and the tvs.

United KingdomThe owners have a large boxer dog, it was not mentioned on the booking details and we have a 5 and half year old with us. The owners were very considerate and kept it out of the way after the only meeting but maybe mention this to them on booking if you have a child that does not like dogs.
The location was lovely, so quiet. The property was spacious and comfy and the hosts very considerate providing a coffee machine with pods and all washing up stuff and a bottle of wine on the Saturday night! We saw bunny rabbits, horses, squirrels and bats! Pub very close by as well.
