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 KingdomThe poor reception on arrival. Told to go to one barn in the pooring rain to find someone else booked in there. Host seemed a little confused as to where we were staying. Not enough utensils and cooking equipment for a self catering stay. No bbq tools. A bigger table to eat at and cook outside would have been useful...perhaps a sun umbrella too. Space and provision for tv in bedroom but no tv. Not enough towels.
Location is great. Spotlessly clean

United KingdomNothing at all. Just wished I could have my dog with me.
Loved it all, the place was clean, tidy, warm cosey and everything was there that I needed. Everything about this place down to the laminated information sheet is well thought out. The grounds are stunning, the views are amazing. The roads to get down are a little tight but well worth it. Communication from Phil was spot on. If you need space, peace and quiet along with refreshing scenery this is the place. I will be back when I need a break away from the city. Oh don't feed the cat he will try and get to you at all hours, beautiful and very vocal loves to walk with you.

United KingdomRather hard to find! No instructions for induction hob and microwave - it is not self-evident how to switch off the child lock. Trivial points: no tea cosy! No shelf to put soap on in shower. Mirror in bedroom would be useful.
Very quiet rural location. High standard of furniture and fixtures. Visiting out of season we were the only guests and it was very peaceful, but I imagine it would be buzzing when all the units are occupied.

It had all what you need for a stay. Very spacious, clean and all the equipments and furniture of very good standard. Love it and highly recommended.

United KingdomThe hay barn next to the house full of old furniture etc, when we sat on the patio it was not a pretty sight,we thought it could have been screened off better. Also the construction machinery and skip full of building waste spoiling the view from the other patio. We appreciate the work is still in progress in some areas , but was a little disappointed because all the other houses had pretty little gardens and court yards , and we felt it did spoil our experience a little. I am sure when all work is completed it will look totally amazing, just our bad luck it hasn't been completed yet.
We loved the beautiful countryside location. also the peace and quiet. We liked the fact that it was only a short drive to the centre of Gloucester, where there is the historic harbour, the quays shopping centre , museums and lots of nice restaurants , Cafe's and bars. The property is absolutely stunning, all done to a high standard, very clean , and tidy. we think it will be even better when all the landscaping around the barn is complete.

United KingdomOverall, our stay at this property was disappointing. The bed was very uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The lack of flyscreens meant that there were blow flies and other bugs everywhere, which may be consistent with being on a farm, but still very unpleasant. The lack of air conditioning made the place very hot, and there was no way to cool it down, I would hate to think what it would be like in Summer😱,. and yet on the other hand, the hot water runs out after one shower. Furthermore, the location was challenging to find, with very bad roads that were almost impassable in some places, making it difficult to pass other cars. While we appreciated the rural setting, the lack of basic amenities and the uncomfortable conditions made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped. In conclusion, unless you are absolutely desperate, stay somewhere else.

United KingdomNo bedding or towels provided. Bought our own to put on bed at a cost of £70. Owners very sorry and brought over bottle of wine and chocolates but really should not have charged full price for a room with no bedding or towels. Didn’t seem that worried about it and just excused it as a mistake that happens.
