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.).

Peaceful location, relaxing and a comfortable B & B. The hosts Ruth and Robert were very friendly and provided a variety of breakfasts which were enjoyable.

United KingdomWIFI was spotty and there is little mobile signal around there, but you probably shouldn't worry too much about it in such a wonderful place. If you prefer a full shower vs. a bath tub you may have to compromise on that.
Absolutely gorgeous place, full of character and history. It felt like having a chance of staying in a National Trust property. The hosts are incredibly friendly and happy to help in any way needed. The breakfast was amazing, really generous.

United KingdomNothing to say here.
Just had a great stay at this beautiful mansion which is a big part of the story of the Isle of Wight. It reflects a bygone era and yet with a garden which has a natural feel with bird song and red squirrels it is in keeping with the recognised current need to make a place for nature. Next door is the exceptional Ventnor Botanic Gardens a contrasting formal collection of exotic plants based on Victorian collections. All in a micro climate some 5 degrees higher than North of the island. Our hosts made us feel at home from the start serving the best breakfast. Loved our stay here.

United KingdomA beautiful,old, interesting house with lovely grounds and sea views . We had a lovely breakfast every morning, and in the evenings sat by the log fire and had a drink. The friendly owners were around at times and were happy to chat and pass on information about the house and the area. We totally relaxed , we weren't concerned by the weak phone signal as we were prewarned, and it was nice to get away from everyday life . The bedroom was generous, and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, too, with soft towels and toiletries provided . We will definitely stay again .

AustraliaThe only thing we didn’t like was the lack of a shower, there was a hand held shower in the bath but no shower curtain which made it hard to use as we didn’t want to get water all over the floor
We had a very comfortable room, our bathroom wasn’t the best as in no shower but a very clean and roomy bathroom, the breakfast was very good and the proprietor very friendly and welcoming
