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 KingdomNot a dislike but it would be useful to amend the facilities list that there is a cafetière and a Nespresso type coffee maker.
I thought the decor was very good, the facilities and layout was also well thought out and worked well with the space. Nice bathroom and great bedding

Home from home. Such a gorgeous place the little extras that were left for the kids made them smile popcorn crisps biscuits chocolate. Such a godsend when properties provide tea coffee sugar and other essentials. Beds really comfortable. Even managed to see some deer. Lovely for a walk into Whitby too.

United KingdomNot really a criticism more of an observation, the website doesn't make it clear that the cottage is on a complex which attaches onto another building, was expecting the property to be singular. Walls are a little thin, each night out of the 3 we stayed, we would be woken to persons laughing outside and doors banging, can hear almost word for word next doors conversations.
Lovely little cottage with everything we needed for our short stay. Very clean and well thought of. We live rural ourselves, so we didn't find the hill leading to the property a problem. Obviously, we got lucky with the weather, so we can understand it being a completely different situation all together deep winter.

United KingdomThe location was perfect for us. It was clean, and we had everything we needed for our stay. My son wanted to buy the cottage he loved it that much. We will be back next year (maybe before). The beds were the comfiest we have ever had. Ample space for a family of 4. We even saw some deer.

United KingdomThe kitchen hot water tap and the shower had a very slow flow rate, making filling a bowl to wash up very slow and taking a shower painfully slow. Having said that the bath hot water tap had a high flow and it was very very hot.
Although we did not meet the hosts, we did interact via the booking messaging and communication was spot on. The cottage was well laid out, bedroom at each end, with the kitchen and living space in the middle. (Shower and toilet near one of the rooms.) As the doors were like gates, it was difficult to open / close them without making a noise, although not excessive in anyway, they were louder than a normal interior door would have been. Beds were very comfortable, facilities supplied and welcome pack much appreciated. Coffee, tea and milk also supplied, as were clean towels. Would return without a doubt.
