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 something I want to say negatively. But pulling out your car from parking is something. You have to be extra careful.

United KingdomOnly one tiny downside and that's proximity to the road. A tiny but busy lane. Though the cottage maintains great privacy even with the road so close. It didn't really bother us apart from when a large lorry got stuck in the lane right outside at 4 am for about half an hour. No fault of the cottage or owner, just an unfortunate incident
Beautiful, well thought out modernised cottage with everything we needed and some lovely touches including a generous welcome pack. Everything was clean and comfortable, cute little private courtyard garden. Very dog friendly. Loved it!

United KingdomSome more attention to basics would really enhance the property such as making sure between guests all cutlery has been cleaned and chopping boards. Cleaning the windows. Replacing some of the items in need of renewing or revamping such as a new kettle or giving the present one a descale, some throws on the arm chairs or new ones to hide stains and some new outdoor furniture to sit on with the hedges trimmed back would really improve this lovely cottage even further as it really is a lovely place to stay and it is clear alot of well intentioned thought has gone into making it so lovely by the owners
TheThe cottage is full of character and has been well designed. There is lots of attention to detail to make it feel like home from home. 2 toilets one upstairs and one down is great. Hand rails by the steps was helpful. Lovely welcome gifts and card left by the owners. The location is beautiful and peaceful and we really were not troubled by the road or the parking space at all like others have mentioned so don't let that put you off at all.

United KingdomVehicle lights from the road adjacent to the cottage shone straight into the upstairs bedroom window. A blackout blind would help with this, as the road was busy early on a weekday morning when it was still dark.
Delightful and well cared for cottage. Warm, cosy and like a home from home. Everything we needed was provided. We really appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack and the ecological products. Lots of great walks in the woods almost straight from the door. 10 minutes walk uphill to Symonds Yat rock and 10 -15 minutes downhill to the River Wye in both directions, with many other routes leading on from there. Because of this we didn't use our vehicle and decided to really relax and enjoy the local surroundings as they were lovely.
