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 KingdomInstructions are slightly unclear about which outside areas you are allowed to use, no access to the patio area in the nice weather. We did also encounter one issue during our stay were the electricity cut out on the first morning, we contacted the owner as suggested however it did take a while to receive a reply which is not ideal when you want some breakfast!
The property itself is very cosy if you are looking for a relaxed getaway. The location is beautiful and the accommodation has everything you would need for your stay

United KingdomThere was no hot water on the day that we checked out.
The property is beautiful and located in a lovely position behind the church. It is spacious and very clean. The hosts were very helpful with queries about the availability of an iron and adjusting the temperature.

United KingdomThe past few visits a number of plates/bowls/cutlery/glasses have not been particularly clean and so I have had to wash them before using. But other than that, the property is always clean and tidy.
This is my 4th time using this cottage and it is perfect for what I want and need. Great location, good, clean amenities and good value for money.

United KingdomNo access to the patio but we managed to make it work to let our dog out in the morning. Shower room had no blinds so could be an issue for some people.
Love the coziness and the location. Bed was very comfortable as this was our baby moon so it was essential my wife could get a very comfortable sleep.

United KingdomNothing! We had a lovely stay.
Stayed here for a 2 night babymoon. We came from Yorkshire and visited Silverstone Museum, Bicester Village and then had a day sightseeing in Oxford. The location is perfect for getting into Oxford. We also ate at the Turnpike pub nearby which was lovely (great mocktails for me!) The area was lovely and quiet. The cottage was clean and had everything you needed. We loved the underfloor heating. Very comfortable bed and good shower. We didn’t want to stay in Oxford itself as we prefer the countryside feel, this cottage gave us exactly what we wanted.

United KingdomUnfortunately there was a small leak from the toilet at the end of our stay which occurred when my friend was using the shower - thankfully we figured out how to turn the water off to the toilet and as we were checking out that morning it didn’t cause us a great deal of inconvenience. Some of the crockery was a bit dirty and it would have been helpful to have a dish cloth to wipe down the surfaces during our stay rather than just the small sponge. Other than that - a fabulous place to stay and use as a base.
Comfortably, cosy, quiet, good facilities, great location. It was nice to see the decorative improvements made to the property since my last visit including the revamp of the kitchen and bathroom.

United KingdomThe sockets upstairs did not work, it was a very warm evening so the fans would have been helpful. A major incident happened close by so lots of police, helicopters etc so it was difficult to open the windows (unexpected) also please replace the hairdryer, it has no safety guard on the back so I caught my hair in the fan 😳
The location is very pretty, the house itself is very maintained and beautifully decorated.

United KingdomParking is slightly limited if you have a large SUV or two cars. But I can't class that as something I didn't like, more just something to be aware of when arriving.
The location is amazing. A short walk to two village pubs and so close to many other attractions. The accommodation is stunning and so comfortable. A true escape fitted with everything you need to relax, cook, or on occasion actually work if you really have to.
