Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe have no complaints about the property. My husband suggested the addition of a fire extinguisher in the kitchen would be a good idea, and I think it would be good to have a hand towel in the kitchen as well as the tea towel. We didn't think to take dishwasher tablets- it would have been good to either have a reminder to bring some, or to have a couple there for us to use.
Very clean, lots of space for the four of us. We liked having a bathroom for each couple. Sofas were comfortable. The house was warm and there were soft blankets in the lounge if we needed. The house was literally 15 minutes walk from Park and Ride, which we made use of. We slept well. Plenty of kitchen utensils and pans for cooking.

United KingdomThere were a few basic things missing such as a corkscrew, but the neighbours were very obliging.
The accommodation was to a great standard. I thought the idea of not having a wardrobe, but racks instead was great as it made each of the bedrooms far more spacious whilst still allowing you to hand up your clothes. Drawer space was available in all rooms.

United KingdomThe house was really conveniently located to transport links for both drivers and public transport users. It was immaculately clean on arrival and this made it so easy to settle in to our weekend break as soon as we arrived. The host was easily contacted and resolved small issues immediately which was great! I would highly recommend this property

United KingdomOnly some constructive feedback. The walk in shower needed a basket on the shower rail to hold toiletries. We had person with bad back who couldn't bend so was awkward to reach shampoo etc. There were not side lamps or tables by both sides of the bed in two bedrooms which was needed.
The house was really comfortable and warm. Everything you needed was available. The drive was big enough for 2 cars. The beds were comfortable and soft. The summer house had evening sun on it so great for gin & tonic sundowner. The house was well layed out. The location to park and ride was perfect. Very quiet neighbourhood. Will definitely book again and happy to recommend. There were two couples staying and the 2 bathrooms plus downstairs toilet was great.
