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.).

Wow! What a place. A beautiful house, so tastefully decorated and furnished. Amanda and Brian were the perfect hosts, we felt we had known them ages. Breakfast was gorgeous with so many things to choose from that no-one could be disappointed. The bedroom was lovely, spotlessly clean, and a very comfy bed. A fabulous weekend break. We wished we could have stayed longer!

United KingdomHonestly, there was nothing we didn’t like about our stay. If I had to be really critical, I would just mention two small things: there wasn’t a toilet brush in the bathroom, and the water in the shower was a bit temperamental when other guests were using it at the same time. But these were very minor issues, and overall, everything was perfect.
Our stay at King's Lodge was absolutely wonderful, and Amanda, the owner, made it even better. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with such warmth and kindness, explaining everything we needed to know. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home, even offering to warm up our baby's milk before bedtime. Amanda was always available and willing to help with anything we needed, which really made a difference in our stay. The facilities are beautifully designed, and the room we stayed in was both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast was a highlight – freshly cooked, delicious, and personalised to our tastes. The added bonus of a few parking spots right by the door and the safe door system gave us extra peace of mind. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again!

United KingdomWe had no problems at all staying at this accommodation. The hosts are very helpful if you did have a problem. They are easy to talk to and are always making sure you are okay or need anything
The accommodation was lovely. Beautiful little garden to sit in at the front with a tv. The room was clean and reasonable size with a nice bathroom. The hosts were very kind and helpful. Not far to walk to seafront where the restaurants and shops were. We loved staying here. Definitely recommend and plenty of parking around if the drive is full but we parked on the drive. They had a nice variety of drinks behind the bar at the accommodation. We will definitely be back for another weekend break. The breakfast was also amazing. Good variety of hot food and other breakfast options. Good variety of squashes and tea and coffee. Pretty quiet area didn’t hear much going on around so slept well.
