Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOur Host was kind and friendly. We were grateful that she allowed us to check-in early. Sally was so helpful when my husband was taken ill. The breakfasts were lovely with a wide choice of possibilities, both hot and cold. The country house was pleasant and comfortable, if a little chilly, whilst the weather was really cold and miserable for May

I was on a one night work stayover, and booked through Booking.com. Easy transaction, and no issues. Arrived quite late, but was met with a cheery smile, from the owner, who ran through all of the details. Room was lovely, and clean, bed was so soft. Breakfast in the morning was just so well presented, and freshly cooked. I have nothing but praise for the owners of the hotel. Its small, well presented, with a homely touch. Thank you..!!!

United KingdomSue the host was friendly and helpful. The grounds of the property are beautiful and well kept. It was great with all the little extras in the room like extra tea/coffee and milk, biscuits and even a mint each. Amazing breakfast. If I could I would give 11 out of 10

United KingdomVery little really, but the small narrow stairs are not easy for “oldies” to negotiate with luggage. However, what one might expect in a property of this age. The en-suite was a bit small though adequate, and the shower was difficult to adjust to the right temperature - much too hot to begin with!
Beautiful, character filled, country home with a strunning garden. The view from the property over the Pevensey Levels is also exceptional.

United KingdomThe bed was short for me lol but I loved the bed.
I loved the fact it was in the sticks lovely, quiet and dark. Loved the old houses so was cool to spend the night sitting in the gardens and looking out into the fields also my home only as a shower so I was making the most of the bathtub. Had a little visit from the owner's dog in the room and felt very much like I was at home Also, the owner was very helpful as I forgot my charger so I could charge my phone to get home the next morning. The breakfast was amazing definitely would stay again.

United KingdomVery friendly hosts. Lovely accommodation and very clean. Exceptional English breakfast, which set us up for the day. The property is rural and quiet with wonderful views. And if walking the local town is about a 40-minute walk away that has a nice pub with an Indian restaurant next door.

United KingdomI wasn't happy with safety in the shower. There should have been a grab bar and the bathtub floor needed something on it to prevent slipping as it was very smooth. The shower itself was very good.
The breakfast was terrific. The accommodation was very high class with a four poster bed which was very comfortable. We liked the separate sitting area to the left of the door for watching TV.
