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 KingdomGiving a good review might mean it is booked up next time I would like to stay!
This was a return visit as I loved it so much last time and was not disappointed this time. Excellent communication from booking to arrival, including accurate information on how to find the property. Lovely, friendly and helpful hostess. Safe, free, private parking. Quiet, rural location. Accommodation furnished to a high standard; very attractive, luxury, yet cosy, feel. Well equipped kitchen with extras provided eg milk, coffee (there is a cafetiere if you want to bring ground coffee), tea, salt, pepper, washing up liquid, hand soap etc. Separate bedroom and bathroom upstairs, comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. No problem with aircraft noise, despite being close to Stansted airport, so you get a good night's sleep.

United KingdomThe only way our stay could have been improved is with a king size bed (not a double), but that's just a personal preference because we are used to one at home.
Very nice to have milk & biscuits provided as well as tea, coffee etc. Cathanne was very welcoming and recommended local pubs.

I was greeted with such a warm welcome and the grounds and annex were stunning, relaxing and so peaceful. I would 100% recommend this to anyone if for a last minute stay to a relaxing get away from home.

United KingdomNothing - I want to move in !
This property is, as the name suggests, immaculate. Although attached to a beautiful converted barn ( the owners property) it is secluded and private - only the family cats come for cuddles. The ground floor opens out from the entrance into a very well equipped, modern and spotless kitchen. Beyond that is the lounge area with comfortable seating and flatscreen tv. Up a short flight of stairs you are in the open bedroom area, almost like a mezzanine. This is again spotlessly clean with a large very comfortable bed and plenty of storage space. Adjoining the bedroom is a surprisingly spacious bathroom - with a great shower and lots of hot water. An ideal accommodation to relax in. I hope to return.

Wow what a gem. Lovely quiet rural location with brilliant directions to find the place. From the warm welcome to the excellent facilities, all was perfect. It was a lovely cosy place to curl up on a wet, miserable afternoon and evening. Well equipped kitchen, large shower and the MOST comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Thank you.

United KingdomPerfect hideaway in a beautiful bit of countryside. The barn is extremely well appointed; it was indeed “immaculate” and everything has been thought of to make your stay comfortable. Although close to the main house, it was incredibly quiet throughout our stay and we both slept like logs thanks to the blackout blinds and comfy bed/bedding. The hosts made us feel very welcome – we didn’t need anything during our stay but it was good to know they were nearby in case we had.
