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 KingdomThere was nothing to fault.
A beautiful house in the perfect location. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our lovely suite by the owners, Sara and Simon. The little details made our short stay delightful. Since retiring we spend a considerable amount of time travelling and staying in hotels and I wish hoteliers had the same attention to what actually matters when staying away, very clean rooms, fresh flowers, large fluffy towels. I could go on. Breakfast was great, and really good fresh coffee, alleluia! The gardens are amazing, and well worth a stroll around

The house was easy to find, it was absolutely beautiful to look at and the interior had been renovated to a very high standard. The parking was good next to the house. We were greeted by Sara and Simon the owners who showed us round and took our luggage up to the room. Sara kindly brought us fresh milk for our tea/coffee and some homemade cookies which were delicious. There was a lounge for residents to use with an honesty bar should you want it. The room was a good size with all you could want, shower room was again well appointed. We were able to have a wander around the gardens and the land at the back of the property and spent a lovely hour enjoying the evening sun overlooking incredible views. The breakfast was really good with a wide range of choice from cereals to fresh fruit, yoghurt and hot choices. We had a problem with our car during our stay. Sara immediately offered to help and on our last morning Simon very kindly gave us a lift to our relative's home a short drive away, nothing was too much trouble. It was all delightful. We would return in a heartbeat.

Everything was great. Friendly and helpful. Was given map and ideas for things to see in the area which meant we saw lots including Charleston House and garden which was fabulous. Little details like fresh flowers in the room made us feel very welcome. Fast wifi.

NetherlandsThis is a beautiful house that has a country English charm about it. The house and rooms were very clean, stylish and comfortable and the breakfast was amazing! The hosts were so kind and welcoming and really went above and beyond to make my family’s stay great. They made fresh cookies for us, gave a tour of the house and gardens and even helped us out when we had transportation problems. I couldn't recommend this place more and will defiantly be coming back.

Breakfast sumptuous, with a huge array of cooked and uncooked items. Porridge was particularly good and fresh fruit was also available. We even had a guided tour of the house and garden which was an unexpected and pleasurable bonus.

United KingdomThe stay was great, the room is spacious and has enough ventilation with windows and a fan to get by even during a heat wave (which we were caught by). The hosts are gracious and were very lenient with us arriving rather late. Everything was outstanding - from the location to the service and amenities in the room. A truly authentic B&B experience
