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.).

United KingdomA wonderful private apartment, with owners who have great local knowledge. Friendly owners, but of course leave you to your privacy - but let you know to contact them if you need anything at all (as they are just next door). Great location beside a river with lots of wildlife and country walks. Really out in the middle of nature. Lots of birds up at the birdfeeder viewable from kitchen table and also a nesting box with a family of bluetits. The owners and the apartment really were spot-on.

United KingdomThis is a charming cozy riverside retreat to stay at with plenty of walks along the river or into the woods and is exactly like pictures on line. Alison and Bill, hosts, give you a warm welcome and are friendly and helpful. When shown around first thing put on was the kettle, for a welcome drink especially if you have had a long journey. Cups out with homemade flapjack was a treat. It is a peaceful and a get away from everything place, so don’t rely on internet signal. Plenty of small birds about and a hooting owl at night, with an otter or two to watch out for. There is a cabin and small summer house you can use to sit in with a cuppa and just relax. It suited us very well and dogs enjoyed it too. It can take you 20-30 mins to get to a good inn/ hotel for some food and I would recommend the Allanton Inn at Allanton, the Wheatsheaf at Swinton and the 1902 Bar at the Dunmuir Hotel, Dunbar. It was a lovely place to explore with plenty of walks, not too far from coast and we even got over to holy island. There is all you need for your stay, even a dishwasher. Enjoy.

United StatesThere was nothing I didn't like. A perfect stay!
Truly loved my stay here. It's in such a relaxing location! The unit itself was spacious and well appointed, comfortable and calm. The hosts and their family were some of the kindest people I've met and they went out of their way to be sure I had everything I needed. 🥰 The river and the walk along the river were so peaceful -- exactly what I needed for my solo retreat. In addition to the spacious flat, there is also a lovely cabin overlooking the river and a cute little summer house that guests are allowed to use (on a first come first served basis, but I never had to wait for a turn.) An absolutely wonderful place and one I hope to return to! Also, the Scottish Borders are beautiful in every way and worthy of a visit!

GermanyThe nature there is beautiful and the vacation home has a really nice garden to enjoy the surroundings during the day and to do some stargazing at night. The hosts were very kind and generous. The dishwasher was an unexpected but welcome bonus. FYI for dog owners: There is no fence around the house, so it is not possible to let your dog roam around in the garden unattended. However, a nice path into the woods and by the river to walk the dog.

United KingdomI was a bit nervous of the long single track lane that led to the accommodation, as there were very few passing places.
The setting was stunning with river walks straight from the door, and birds nesting all around the cottage. Lots of interesting places to visit in the area, such as Duns and St Abbs. The owners were exceedingly hospitable.

United KingdomNothing to really complain about, we loved it.
Fantastic setting with scenic trails close by, all amenities available so didn't feel we needed anything more. Good views from accommodation too with added bird box outside kitchen, enjoyed seeing a Blue Tit nest building during our stay as well. Whilst there we met Alison and Bill who were super helpful. All in all a fantastic break away. Roads were quiet whilst we were investigating the area, felt remote and so part of countryside with more activity in the way of pubs/attractions 20 mins away.
