How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It is under the process of new management. It was advertised that breakfast was available and arrangements for dinner could be made. Their restaurant closed altogether so no breakfast or dinner was available. Three couples stayed for three days but there was only milk for one day for one cup tea each. No coffee available only 4 bags of regular tea in each of our rooms. The hot water in the bathrooms was a real problem which worked on gas heaters. Out of the three days we were lucky enough to have hot water in the shower for the last day only.....it really isn't pleasant showering in cold water. The rooms were not serviced during the three days.
Our rooms were comfortable. There was a kettle in the room with tea. There was also a tot of Sherry for each of us. The view from the verandah was beautiful.

The entire ambience was of a huge project to get this rather shabby place restored., and while we bought into this concept and the owners' efforts, the kitchen area and dining room were rather depressing and shabby. Hannelie and Len have just bought the rather neglected property with the aim to restore it to its former glory. Lots of work to be done, which they acknowledge. More attention detail needed for the appearance of wooden doors and windows, need varnishing. Doors to the rooms stick and difficult to open. The bar area is a bit too close to the dining area, so if there is a rowdy group in the pub, it would be unpleasant for a family group having dinner (for example). Garden and porch outside the rooms needs attention, but the owners know this and have plans to renovate this area. The Weaver's Nest was hit by a huge storm on the 21st Dec and the kitchen and dining room roof leaked and flooded these areas, apparently a latent defect in the roof. which the new owners did not know about. The staff were heroic in dealing with this, and we still had our supper amongst 'battle conditions'.
The location at the edge of the wetland system was marvelous, wonderful countryside views out of the dining room. The owners, Hannelie and Len were very welcoming and keen to meet our needs. We would go back, just because of them!

The facility is not well maintained. Our room was given to someone else when we got there. The room we were put in smelled of stinky dog. Coffee was solidified in the jar. The entrance to the gate was being worked on and the temporary entrance was a mud bath. Our little car bearly made it in without getting stuck. Why not contact your clients to advise and make alternative arrangements, if you know the entrance is such a mess. Management knew we needed to get out early the next morning but made no effort to clear the road. I needed to direct workers to make the ‘road’ ‘drivable’. The facility needs urgent attention and a change in management. Overall it was not a good experience!!! They won’t see us again.
Not much.
