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 KingdomWe booked Wrens nest for a little quiet get away, the cottage itself was very easy to find, it was very clean, quiet, cosy and had everything we needed. Great heating and a hot shower. There was some prosecco and fudge on arrival which was a lovely touch after a long day. Thank you Gael for a brilliant stay.

Loved our stay at the Wrens nest, very cosy and perfect location to explore the area, especially the dark sky park. The accommodation had everything we required. We bumped into Gael a couple of times and she always made time for a chat.

United KingdomCan’t think of anything!
Host is very friendly and accommodating. We had to check on a bit earlier and the host let us in. It’s a real tardis with probably the best shower we have ever experienced. It looks a little tired from the outside but it’s perfect on the inside, so compact and everything you need. Great secure area to let the dog out into. It’s a beautiful location on the outskirts of village and easy to walk dog up and down the lane and nearby.

United KingdomAlthough the space was used very effectively, it was perhaps a little more compact than we had expected. Storage might have been challenging on a longer stay.
Beautifully clean and quality tasteful finish to the fabric of the building and furnishings, very well and conveniently equipped, friendly and helpful owner, lovely location. A real little gem.

United KingdomI felt it could have done with shelves adjacent to the bathroom sink (on the wall behind the door) to put our toiletries on and also a towel ring on the side of the sink unit. These small additions would have made using the bathroom much easier. Both in terms of aesthetics and practicality I would have preferred to have a little dining table and two dining chairs rather than the sofa and two small collapsible side tables. You can always relax on the bed and watch tv from there very comfortably... possibly more comfortably than sitting on a small sofa. Having a table would making eating meals easier and also easier to use a laptop and would be useful extra food prep space. The mattress was very soft and both my husband and I woke up with a back ache each morning. I appreciate that there are some people who like soft mattresses but they aren’t good for anyone’s spine.
Wren’s Nest was warm and quite well designed for a couple on a short stay. Parking was easy. and getting in to the property was trouble free. It’s in a pretty and peaceful location and the host, Gael, was very friendly and prompt with communications before and during our stay.

United KingdomSmall but mighty studio in a nice, quiet location. Friendly but unobtrusive hosts. Comfortable bed and good shower. Enclosed shady garden area was great for the dog, and we enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine. Everything was good quality and well thought out. Kitchenette has limited facilities for preparing food but plenty of options for evening meals within 15 minutes.
