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 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 bed was quite hard but that is a matter of personal taste so not too unhappy about it. A matter of concern was the bannister at the top of the stairs - it was quite wobbly and as my husband is not too steady on his feet it had the potential to cause an accident.
Location was fine - potential to be noisy but as it was set back behind other buildings we were not troubled by traffic noise. It was great to be able to take our dog with us and he settled quickly. A minor problem with the induction hob was dealt with very quickly by the landlord who was very pleasant. I see Section 4 mentions Felixstowe South Beach when it should talk about Harwich beach which is only approx. 200 yards away and we did visit it.

United KingdomAs soon as we walked in the door the smell of dog hit us in the face. It was a very strong smell. We didnt realise this was dog friendly really put us off. Side tables were all sticky could do with a good clean. Cutlery wasn’t cleaned properly. Fridge & freezer werent clean long black hair in the freezer. Bathroom flooded very quickly wasnt great.
Good location, really nice touches with prosecco, hot tub was lovely. Good options on tv had Netflix which was good. Owner was absolutely lovely very friendly & helpful. Had a nice little pub down the road, fish & chip shop opposite. Further down the road you have more shops, Brewers & Maccy d’s. The other side there was a little high street.
