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 KingdomHad trouble getting oven to heat up. Instruction book provided but not helpful. Found that the timer switch had to be on the hand symbol for oven to work. Suggest this is made more obvious to a avoid confusion. Also some mention should be made of restricted head room in bathroom - a tall Male will have difficulty standing up fully to face the toilet!
Location good. Breakfast not included but option to use onsite cafe, and breakfast here was excellent.

This is a fantastic self-catering property, which we would love to stay in again. The space was clean and tidy, and everything we needed was provided. The bed was comfortable and the shower was very refreshing. The host was exceptionally helpful and provided detailed instructions on how to locate the property. We were situated within a 30 second walk of a fantastic cafe - we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast!

Loved being close to renaissance kitchen and Renaissance arts - with the choice to eat in or take away, or look at/ buy lovely artwork. The Welsh cakes were delicious thank you 😋 The whole place has a beautiful energy to it!

United KingdomThe road to the location has very fast cars so didn't feel safe to walk to the nearby towns. They are only a 5 minute drive away though.
Beautiful cottage, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The hosts were really thoughtful, providing a cot and high chair for our baby and leaving a welcome package of tea, coffee and Welsh cakes. Beautiful countryside views in all directions. And the cafe opposite the cottage does excellent breakfasts and cake!

The location, the large open plan downstairs area, the comfy sofas, the view from the bedroom and the fact that we knew the hosts were around but they left us to enjoy the place.
