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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomAlthough not advertised, there were quite a few reviews which mentioned a hot tub so we were hoping for one which wasn't to be.... But to be honest there wasn't anything we were unhappy with.
Really liked the decor and layout of the bedroom. Felt very comfortable and didn't take us long to settle! Felt we had everything we needed, home well equipped. Nice and quiet, we were able to relax. A lovely bottle of bubbly, some milk and fresh fruit was an added bonus! Ohh and fresh towels. Super comfy bed and bedding 😁

Central location but a wonderful hidden little gem... literally. Great find. The roof terrace was a real bonus! It was warm enough to sit out with a little glass! Very compact and well thought out. Will deffo be back when we're back in the town.

United KingdomThe only thing it was missing were teabags/ coffee and milk on arrival .. not essential but the first time we've come across it not being available so we were not prepared. Wouldn't stop us returning though. The check in instructions were slightly out of date but not a major issue.
Lovely little house, really well presented, hot tub on roof terrace lovely added bonus and very private. All towels and bedding provided and very clean. Robes were a great touch as well. Lots to do in the area within walking distance.

United KingdomWe cannot fault the property
The property was so cute! an absolute hidden gem! Everything you need, all appliances including washing machine and dishwasher and fully equipped kitchen, beautifully decorated and very clean. Added bonus is the hot tub which is amazing after a day exploring, towels and robes supplied also. TV with streaming services, lots of lovely finishing touches. Perfectly situated for exploring harwich quay. two minute walk to the water in either direction, a minute from the station, and a few minutes in the car from Dovercourt.

United KingdomNothing really,
Beautiful quiet secluded little place, really lovely house. Great furnishings. The owner kept in contact and would have attended to any needs if we had any. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Even the Fish and Chip shop over road was great. Harwich is a lovely sedate area with plenty of history and pubs.

United KingdomThe house itself needed a little TLC. There was a sharp piece of metal sticking up on floor in lounge. The stair carpet was loose, kept coming off, the banister was very loose too. There was also an ornament in the bedroom with the glass broken, and left inside, A few other small issues too, for what it cost I was expecting things more polished and finished.
Lovely location, nice roof top area to sit in. Good facilities.
