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 KingdomI was hoping to be able to let my elderly mother have the downstairs bedroom but as there were steps upto it I didn't feel it was safe for her to use that when needing the downstairs bathroom at night. It was safer for her to use the upstairs room that was opposite the toilet upstairs.
The setting was lovely. The owners were very friendly & welcoming.

United KingdomNo complaints, but do follow the directions given to you to avoid tricky small lanes. We arrived in a 9-seater Vauxhall Vivaro, and getting in and out of the property was a challenge, but doable.
Lovely house, plenty large enough for 4 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs. Adjacent small field to exercise dogs. Quiet location. We've been doing self-catering for many years and Clive is the most helpful and attentive host we've ever known. Recommended!

United KingdomRoads are tight, with some farm roads to steer into. Its situated on a hill but other than the slight difficulty getting there, pleasant after that. No local shops near, so will need to travel 20 mins out for bread or milk.
The appartment was amazing. Spacious, ample sized rooms and great ammenities! Great view to have breakfast if weather permitting. Great accomadation, one bathroom ensuite and toilet! TV good size to watch in the living room.

United KingdomAccess to the driveway is on a steep hill with a tight turn. We were riding motorcycles so negotiating it was tricky. Car drivers should not find it too difficult though.

United KingdomWe suggest a mirror in the second bathroom, a measuring jug and pirex dish with lid to be in the kitchen area. Possibly a mirror in the third bedroom too. These are just suggestions. there was nothing we did not like about the accommodation. Extra plug sockets in the kitchen/cooking area may be helpful too.
Loved the quietness. Loved the extent of the property, looking down from one end to another. Spacious. considerate host. couldn't do enough for us. Found a pirex dish so we could cook the meal we wanted to, with no hesitation, on request. Parking was easy. We wished we were staying longer.
