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 property exceeded our expectations, the location is perfect with a 2 minute walk to a very friendly play area, 5 min walk to the beach, 3 min walk to the shops. The property has lots of character, so homely and beautifully decorated. It was very clean upon arrival. Easy instructions for self check-in.

United KingdomThe place was a bit grubby and needs some TLC. Stains on furniture, soft furnishings and carpets. Lots of chipped paint, courtyard could do with a tidy, dead plants need replacing. Outside front of the house there’s were lots of cobwebs and some weeds again area could do with some TLC.
Size, comfy beds, well equipped, great location.

United KingdomThe stairs are very steep, so if you struggle with mobility this might be a problem.
Location was perfect, a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Beautifully decorated house. Sarah, our host, had to come and fit a new bulb as this blew the fuse and she came round fast and was very apologetic.

United KingdomThe property was difficult to get warm, the ground floor living room was warm but rest of the house chilly. Probably could have done with pre-heating the property before our arrival. Not a criticism but the fire safety guidelines mentions twice that no candles should be used but there were numerous candles located around the house.
The location was excellent with only a 2 minute walk to the high street. The property is stylishly decorated and comfortable. We had an issue with the front door when we arrived, the host sent us some flowers to apologise which was a nice touch. The top floor living room was a nice bonus space.

United KingdomBeing so close to the church meant that you could hear the bells every hour day or night, if you are not used to the noise it can be disturbing at night
The property is lovely and well presented with lots of space and options for up to 6 people to stay, some really nice touches, the location of Southwold is also really lovely and somewhere we will certainly visit again in better weather

United KingdomHad to buy our own toilet paper. as 2 rolls provided. Only one bin bag available, the one already in the kitchen bin. 4 dishwasher tablets provided, enough for 4 dishwashes. No Tea Towels provided for drying up. Main oven did not work. Top oven just smelled of burning when turned on. Oven glove in the drawer was covered in mould. (Pictures available if required. Added the disgusting mitt as a snap and a warning). Bathroom windowsill is covered in black mould as shower constantly wets the window and the mould is not cleaned.
