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 KingdomAccess/maneuvering for parking spot was very tight, and more suited to a pretty small car. Last minute request for a £100 deposit just two days prior to travelling.
Cracking little cottage with all necessary fittings. Loads of useful information from the owners prior to arrival. Very quiet location. Would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomI didn’t like that there was an extra £100 deposit in case of damages to be paid to the owner’s personal bank account. This was mentioned in the listing but it made me very uncomfortable that it wasn’t handled through booking.com. If things had gone badly and the owner decided he didn’t like us he could have kept it and I would have had no recourse to get the money back. The worst part was that on the day of our arrival the owner texted to say he would charge an extra £15 for early arrival when we had discussed and prearranged for an early arrival several weeks earlier. Thankfully he didn’t apply this extra fee in the end. We only arrived 40 minutes before the earliest listed check-in time of 4pm. I have received my £100 deposit back already too (next day after departure) so I guess all’s well that ends well. But it added a lot of unnecessary stress to our trip.
Very short distance from the venue for the wedding we attended

United KingdomThe only downside was the access road to the parking for the property, as it was very tight to get in, particularly in the dark.
The place is very cosy and had everything we needed. Bed was very comfy and bathroom spacious. Property is heated throughout. The hosts were very helpful providing lots of useful information before our stay.

United KingdomAccess to the property is not straightforward since you have to turn into a narrow entrance off the main road through Kirkheaton. This is a lot easier if you turn right into the entrance i.e travelling uphill towards the village centre. Exit is again a slight issue but not a large one. I found I quickly adapted to this. We also noticed that it was quite warm when we stayed and the only ventilation was from skylight windows which required a small step ladder to access. Again it was not a big issue.
The small single story cottage appears a little austere from the outside but once inside it is a true Tardis with all mod cons. It has been finished to a high standard throughout and the dining/lounge area, bedroom, and bathroom were all well presented. The bathroom with underfloor heating and walk in shower felt very luxurious. It is well located for walking to local shops and pubs and the M62 is about 10 minutes away. Huddersfield town centre is also about 10 minutes away and there are many nice walks that can be made literally from the front door.

United Kingdomeverything. was contacted at 6am on day of stay for a request of £100 security deposit to be paid directly into hosts personal bank account. I requested to pay it via booking.com or PayPal and the host wouldn't budge. In the end we weren't sent check in details so couldn't stay. I tried to seek help from booking.com on the day but never got a response. Now I've been notified I may get a 'no show' charge. If that happens I won't be using this site any longer as I don't feel protected or supported as a consumer. We were left with no choice but to travel back home at 10pm, which was an hour's journey, and I've not been refunded either

United KingdomThere were flying ants all over the property. I had booked this last minute as I needed a place to stay, and upon arrival, I noticed that there were flying ants all over the windowsill and the radiator. I then raised this with the landlords, who responded and said I should be entitled to a refund for the booking through booking.com. Not only that, they asked for my bank details to return the security deposit. I gave them my bank details and messaged quite a few days later asking where my refund was. They completely ignored my message and I still haven’t received any refund to this day. I was in the property for a maximum of 30 minutes, of which mine and my friends boyfriends checked out the place just to make sure everything was fine before they left us be. I am appalled at the customer service received here, as I most definitely didn’t damage anything in the property considering I was there for a maximum of 30 minutes. The only thing we had to do was try and kill the ants!! I’m currently raising the concern with my bank to hopefully get the money returned, as I am now short of £200 a least and had to go out of my way to book elsewhere that night and spend more money as the place was definitely not sanitary enough for us to stay the night considering there was flying ants everywhere!

United KingdomI has some issues with cleanliness e.g. the bedding was smelly and I had to wash it myself, the teapot was mouldy and a pan was burnt. Although the landlord dealt with some of these issues, I had no apology or compensation for the smelly sheets. I found the landlord who came around rather intimidating and defensive.
It was a good location especially for a solo traveller. It was well set up and had the necessary facilities. It was in a quiet setting.
