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 KingdomMinor but you had to go through the second bedroom to get to the third bedroom but not a problem for us for a few days.
Amazing location (few minutes into Ventnor and maybe 10 max to the seafront and easy to get east or west on the island) and a lovely place to stay.

United KingdomWe had some issues with the hot water from the shower, but after few attempts, we discovered that by open the hot tap in the lavatory, the pressure created, was also feeding properly the shower water pressure, so all of us had a hot shower!! Maybe it would require the plumber to check?
Centrally located with a short walk to the beach, restaurants, supermarkets and antiques shops. For those coming with public transportation, it's closed to the bus stop! Parking space was convenient in front of the cottage, to accomodate two cars. The cottage is exquisitely decorated, and the kitchen is well equipped and spacious, good for chats and enjoying your meals! What we adored though was the sunny room and the outdoor space, where we enjoyed long chats, laughs and good wine! Neighbour is welcoming and even if the road is close to the cottage, during the night there was absolute silence even with the open windows. We haven't had the time to enjoy the up-backyard space, where there is also a convenient barbecue equipment and an amazing view to the sea! For winter season there is a comfortable sofa area with a fireplace! Excellent wifi - very well clean - very spacious for 5 adults Overall it was simply perfect, all of us loved it! [9 smiles, only for the issue with the shower]

United KingdomWe loved everything.
Located in the heart of the village short walking distance to the beach with cristal-clear water. A local restaurant on the way to the cost treated us to a delicious meal. Tesco Express is round the corner, too. Very cosy cottage with prestigeous look, unique layout and private parking. Communication with the locely owner was flawless and we really enjoyed being there, even if if that was only for one night!

United KingdomIf the other rooms were refreshed in line with the sun lounge, it would feel brighter and more up to date- but then it is very old, and it would probably cost more! We had the misfortune that on our last night, sometime during the night, one of the trip switches tripped, with most of the lights and a lot of the sockets not working, and the trip wouldn’t reset. We coped fine, as we found a socket to use the hairdryer, and living in old houses ourselves, we know that the electrical circuits can sometimes cause problems. The owner got back to me and was lovely, tho as we were leaving, any fixes happened after we left.
Lobster cottage is quirky and very old- which means steep steps and higgeldy-piggeldy rooms. The first lounge is very dark, but we mainly used the sun lounge which was bright and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was fine. The beds were comfortable, and tho very central, it was quiet. Parking was great, it’s good to literally park outside the door.

NetherlandsIf this was my house I’d renovate the bathroom and kitchen, I’d do some thorough cleaning, plastering and painting and I’d fix all the doors (none is fitting). But that would be for permanent living because that is how unique this cottage is. For a short stay it is just amazing with all of it’s quirks and features.
What an amazing house! Old, very old, and very interesting on the inside. Way bigger then to be expected from the outside. Amazing location.

United KingdomThe Bathroom had black mould around the bath. The stairs were difficult to navigate (there should have been a warning) it took ages to open the key safe as we were given four different numbers. There was a lot of stuff stored in corners all over the cottage which made the place not very welcoming.
The kitchen and the dining room were nice. It was warm enough.
