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 KingdomSaucepans and frying pans aren't nonstick. It's a very minor detail! But scouring pads are needed.
Everything was as the host described. Parking is around a minutes walk up the road for £2.50 a day, parking to drop off cases was outside the front door. Lovely living room, kitchen, bedrooms and great shower.

United KingdomWe couldn’t find the frying pan ? The stairs were narrow and steep , no problem for us , but do need to be careful on them , but both small details . Not much not to like !
A lovely place to stay . Spotlessly clean . Nice decor throughout . Great comms with the owner from start to finish . In a great location . Nice little garden . Great value for money . When I read the reviews , was already aware the parking was in a car park just round the corner and that was only £2.50 a day . Can highly recommend this property .

United KingdomStairs were a little steep that we were not prepared for but just about managed.
Loved how close it was to where we needed to be. Good double glazing meant that you can’t hear anything happening outside unless the window is open Overall the stay was lovely.

United KingdomI was a bit worried when I went through initial entrance area, as there was a lot of clutter (children’s toys, stud wall made of chipboard, wire fencing, just general clutter etc). It looked a bit rough to be frank. However this appears to be a shared area with other properties so perhaps little that can be done about this. When you get into the property itself, it is a relief as everything is clean and tidy and in good order.
Really clean and tidy inside the property. All facilities you need for a comfortable stay with family (kettle, toaster, cooker, pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, washing machine, clothes maiden for drying, hairdryer).

United KingdomThe location was not that good plus we had to call the owner to explain that the bedding and pillows had stains and the bathroom had not been cleaned properly and general condition of cleaning was very poor, another big problem was the parking for your car, there was a small space outside of the property but you can only use it to offload your cases ect:(30mins limit) and you had to park the car up the hill in pay and display car park. The property was approached through a shared courtyard and was not that private plus the rubbish bin outside of your front door was overflowing and really stank, overall the stay was not that pleasant and the price was very high in our opinion, the owner did send someone around to clean and change the bedding ect: but it's the last thing you need at the start of your holiday to have cleaners come in to clean when you're in the property all ready.
Property was nice, very quiet with good sized rooms, kitchen was well equipped and all you needed.
