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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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, the cottage is wonderful
From the moment you arrive at Holmdale cottage you know you have found a great little gem of a place to stay. Myself and my two boys decided on a little jolly to Rye and magically found this wonderful cottage. Once we arrived we were greeted by the very kind and friendly Micheal and Raphaelle. The boys loved that our cottage was hidden away, walking through a little gate with flowers and vines into a secret garden. The double doors opened out into a beautiful clean and tidy lounge/ kitchen. And cute little cottage. Perfect for our little family trip. Everything we needed including some chocolate for mummy and also some wine for mummy too ha... A little door that leads to the sunny side to the cottage and a little seating area that my son loved to sit in, in the shade but also sunny. The beds were very comfortable, even the sofa bed. This cottage is a truly lovely little hide away and so peaceful and quiet. The hosts Micheal and Raphaele were exceptional from the moment we arrived. Very helpful and kind. We would definitely recommend this place to stay ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

United KingdomKitchen work top space a bit limited. Walking from the cottage to a nearby hotel restaurant tricky as there is no footpath for the first 200yds approx; had to walk on road/grass verge.
We were met and "hosted" by Michael who was very welcoming, friendly and helpful; welcome pack inc wine, water, milk - much appreciated. Very peaceful location close to Rye in attractive rural location. Lovely cottage with private outside areas inc chairs and sun loungers. Very comfortable bed. Cottage was spotless throughout. Excellent bathroom with plenty of hooks for hanging towels, etc; great shower.
