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 KingdomThe room was a bit on the small side but I kind of knew if would be and it was very cute so I was happy with it. The only thing I hadn't realised was that it did not have a TV and since there is not much to do there in the evening it would've been nice to have some entertainment for the evening and I missed having a TV. I managed to use my mobile to watch some things in the end. No view but I knew that would be case as well. My room was just above the entrance and near the outdoor entertainment area, so when I was trying to get a nap during the afternoon (after the tour and a little bit of tasting wine) I could hear the young people who had gathered outside and were socialising, so had to close the window (which I had opened to get some air in the room as it was warm and stuffy that day). With the window closed though I think the noise didn't bother me much thankfully. I didn't want to eat at the restaurant at the hotel as I didn't want to have a two course meal and they don't seem to have an a la carte option but unfortunately there were not many options nearby so ended up eating in Seaford, as the restaurants in Afriston seemed to be on the pricey side. One thing I have to add about the restaurant is that it was a bit claustrophobic and didn't have any windows anywhere, so to me it wasn't very inviting, which is one of the reasons I didn't want to eat there. It is a shame with such nice views outside, not to position the restaurant somewhere and somehow that there would be windows down onto the vineyard. The living room had a nice view though but because I was on my own I didn't use it that much.
Lovely location. Breakfast was very nice and staff attentive and helpful. The vineyard was beautiful and amazing. I recommend taking the tour which was very informative and fun. The room was nicely decorated and clean. Slept well.

United KingdomOnly downside was noise of (very efficient) plumbing and I suspect I woke up neighbouring rooms when I got up and left early am due to hard floors and heavy oak doors.

We enjoyed a great tour with Maxine - and despite it being our second visit, got to see other parts of the wine process that we didn’t see in the summer and learn a little more about Rathfinny wines … everyone on the Rathfinny team are always so welcoming and enthusiastic!

United KingdomFlint Barns are in a lovely, quiet spot with beautiful surroundings. Its incredibly peaceful. The room we had was small - in a positive, cosy, way with cleverly thought through amenities and smart use of space. The team working there are incredibly warm and helpful. We stayed at the property for one night and enjoyed a lovely meal, accompanied by a bottle of the superb Rathfinny Blanc de Noirs.
