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 could provide kitchen towels, kitchen paper, cling film, foil and sponge. The main bathroom could do with having a shower facility so that you can wash hair or you can rise the bath tub after being used. Both bathrooms could have toiletries shelves.

United KingdomThe attic access has steep stairs and although the bath is lovely it misses not having a shower facility on that floor.
The facilities were perfect for the family. It was well fitted out and cosy. In addition the location made it easy to visit the beauty spots around the area.

Really nicely done out. Attention to detail, lovely, little additions like milk in the fridge, a well equipped kitchen. It had everything you could need in a lovely setting with lovely views.

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing that we did not like.
This property was incredible and the owners were a pleasure to deal with. any communication throughout our stay was responded to straight away. I needed to book this place in a hurry, because we were let down by our first choice of accommodation. The first property we had arrived at in Devon was horrendous, so we needed to find somewhere quickly. This was booked early in the morning and we checked in later that day. Louise and Mark were so accommodating, allowing us to go and leave our luggage there whilst they finished off getting the place ready for our check in, so we were able to meet them for a chat and they were just the nicest people. Their adult son was there helping them too, which I thought was a lovely touch, he was equally as nice and friendly. 😊 We arrived back later in the afternoon, and to say we were delighted with the cottage was an understatement. The place had a modern, fresh feel to it and we all thoroughly enjoyed being there. It was immaculate. The facilities in the kitchen were just like home from home it had absolutely everything we possibly need. The place was just lovely. A bottle of Prosecco left on the kitchen side for our arrival was just such a nice touch and the icing on the cake. 🥰 Lovely bedding, lovely towels, sofa was super comfortable and so were all of the beds. The setting was absolutely beautiful with cows in fields opposite and amazing views all around. We were 4 adults and 3 boys (aged 8, 10 and 11) and we had plenty of room. I cannot honestly recommend this property enough and anyone visiting it will be delighted with it, I am certain of that. We will definitely be visiting again in the future. Thank you so much again to Louise and Mark you were fab! 🥰

United KingdomOnly downside was the VERY creaky floorboards on the middle floor. Could be an issue with younger children sleeping as it was very loud when people walked about in rooms above.
Loved the house, space and design. It felt clean and well decorated. There were a few little bits that needed attention in the downstairs area (skirting boards by front door) but overall very nice. Lovely gifts on our arrival. Great views from the windows and a lovely space in the garden for our dog to play.

United KingdomThe duvets were 13.5 tog and rather too warm and heavy for summertime.
The location was so peaceful with beautiful country views, and we were given clear instructions for how to find it. The house was attractively decorated and furnished inside, and equipped generally with all we needed including fans. It had been well cleaned inside. The welcome gifts were much appreciated. It was perfect for our party of 4 adults and 1 child.
