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 KingdomNothing comes to mind.
The property exceeded our expectations. Well planned accomodation with lovely little kitchen and bathroom and cosy bedroom/sitting room area. The whole property was equipped and decorated to a very high standard and was exceptionally clean. Communication with hosts, who provided clear instructions via booking.com re access to property and parking etc, was very good. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe bed being close to the wall was a little bit awkward, having lamps near the bed would have been good.
We had an amazing time at Hollyhock Lodge! The place is beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches. It felt cozy yet spacious for the two of us. The facilities are great. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the shower was fantastic! We loved spending time in the garden, especially in the mornings when it was sunny and peaceful. There’s a lovely walk in to Saffron Walden, we had brunch at the Tipi Cafe and a look around the shops. I loved that there are lots of leaflets for the surrounding area that the hosts have collected for their guests. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

United KingdomNot being able to stay longer!
Beautiful, cozy cottage in pristine condition with lots of effort made to create a warm and historically characterful interior. Perfect for a winter stay, but surrounded by a decent bit of private garden with outdoor dining space through French doors off the kitchen so I'm guessing it's perfect for a summer stay too. Location is great - a lovely walk across the Common into the historic town centre of Saffron Walden. I would highly recommend this for solo travellers or couples wanting to be right near the town, but feel a bit hidden away.

United KingdomGood quality decoration and equipment, imaginatively and creatively chosen and displayed. Everything clearly very recently done. Nice to have a garden space, I expect this will develop as the property becomes established. The big downside for us will hopefully be rectified once the hosts realise the issue - but we arrived around 8.30 on a February evening and it was very chilly. The heating in the bedroom/lounge area was not on, turning up the thermostat as instructed has no effect, no obvious things to try e.g. no fuse switch had flipped. No response at all from ringing (left voicemail) and texting the host’s number. Eventually realised we couldn’t override or change the timer do put the master switch by fuse box onto boost, which needed re-doing after an hour or so. Next day we put it on continuous, turning thermostat down very low when we were out. Didn’t feel comfortable fiddling with an unknown heating system but didn’t know what else to do. Made a somewhat disappointing start to our stay which has coloured our overall impression of what, in many ways, has been a pleasing creative and original letting.
