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.).

IrelandThe cooking utensils could really do with an upgrade. The Tv remotes were falling apart and were quite disgusting to touch
The location is outstanding and the cottage is comfortable enough. Very good mattress

United KingdomWe have stayed in many many places over the years and while the cottage was lovely and in a great location we do have some suggestions to improve . We had arranged to arrive between 7 and 8 pm but on arrival had to call as no one was there and then had to wait 20mins for the host to arrive which after a long drive from Dublin was very disappointing. It needs to be highlighted on Booking . com that you must give an exact arrival time . We were asked to pay in cash which we refused as the booking had been confirmed on booking .com and a credit card provided – Cash is no longer used to make payments as we all have electronic banking or credit cards so this should be reviewed . Asking for cash is highly irregular . Please note you will be charged extra for heating and electricity which is worked out at the end of your stay – we feel a winter fuel payment should be added to the bookings to prevent this inconvenience or just increase the price of the cottage rental to cover it . An additional charge is made for rubbish removal 6.50 a bag and we feel this should also be in the total price .

GermanyThe Water tastes like "don't drink that". The Kitchen supplies provided are old, sometimes dirty and over all mostly looking out for better weather. The Waterpressure is very low, it takes about 10 Minutes to refill the toilett-flush. The Floors where dirty on arrivial. Over all, we would not choose this cottage again.
The Hosts where very nice

United KingdomThe cottage is dark, being surrounded by trees and feels rather damp, and the grounds aren't kept well. Some kitchen equipment and light shades lacking.
Location is great, with beautiful scenery, gardens and walks close by, and village with shop and pubs 15 minutes' walk. Rita and family were very helpful when a problem arose.

United KingdomStaying beside a derelict house which was a dumping ground .paying extra for heating and electricity when you have already paid an exorbitant amount for the stay and were not warned of this in advance only there maybe additional charges but didn't expand on what those charges were. Taking a pre authorisation on card to then be told 1 week before arriving to arrive with cash as payment very suspicious to have my details of my card then expect me to be happy to pay with cash.clearly not the way I have paid for any other holiday EVER not a code of conduct I would expect. When I spilt something on the floor I was horrified to see how dirty the floors were and the smell of damp everywhere. The duvet even felt damp to touch and parts of the duvet cover torn. The toilet couldn't be flushed 15mins after use as it took so long to fill up. The hot tap in bathroom didn't work. Total rip off think carefully before selecting this cottage for your trip.
Our holiday except for the cottage
