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 KingdomThere wasn’t anything I disliked..only feedback was knowing timings of the heating. I had elderly parents and a couple of times it got a little chilly but nothing a blanket couldn’t fix. Totally understand it was summer.
Really well furnished, clean, loved the secure area for the dog, beds were so comfortable… so comfortable. Absolutely loved it. Small issue with the electrics due to the heavy rain but was sorted immediately.

United KingdomI wouldn't say I disliked anything but a couple of things that I thought on the passing - more storage for clothes. The hanging space in the twin room wasn't enough, and the drawer space in the pink room was very limited too. We totally managed fine, but I thought that would make it even better. And just on a very practical note, a book or folder with all the house instructions in it - like, any recycling instructions, bin info, WiFi info, last day instructions.
The Lodge was very spacious and so comfortable and clean. Rooms were large with amazing views. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

United KingdomNot a dis like but a personal preference. Would have preferred a shower option in the upper bathroom as well as the one on the ground floor. This was not an issue and certainly would not stop us returning.
Well presented and arrange. Plenty of space. Located far enough away but not too far out of town. The location even though on a working farm was peaceful. Ashley and Simon were helpful through out. The additional services are a great touch, local breakfast and movie nights, however prices guide available on the site would be helpful.

United KingdomNothing of note
The cottage was comfortable, well equipped, and perfectly located - quiet and rural, but with easy access to Kelso and the borders. The dogs loved the enclosed garden, and the humans loved the hot tub, views from the bench through the hedge, and the wildlife. The host was very friendly and responsive, but left us to ourselves during the stay. We would definitely like to come and stay again!
