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 KingdomWe found nothing wrong with any of: the cottage, our stay, the booking process, the owners, the communications, the location, etc.
This was an excellent holiday. The owners had put a lot of thought into the presentation of the cottage and what visitors may wish to find - particularly for those arriving in the late evening. It was so welcoming. We found everything that we could want and had a really relaxing stay in a wonderful market town.

United KingdomIt couldn't have been better.
It was all great, we were there for Christmas and arrived to tree and fairy lights, a seasonal hamper and Christmas music. Very luxurious, perfectly places in a quiet and ancient street in the middle of Saffron Walden ... very close to the main car park. And great garden and nearby walks for the dog. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming.

United KingdomI love old houses and this is a great example of a 16th century cottage .
Beautiful updated period cottage and garden . Comfortable and clean with a generous welcome basket and other provisions. I arrived to lamplit rooms and Nora Jones on the stereo so there wasn’t that cold sterile feeling you can get sometimes . Lovely log burning fire and fuel was a nice touch on one slightly chilly evening too . Helen and Alex are very communicative hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them .

United KingdomTough to come up with anything. Parking could be difficult but then Meadow carpark is only at the end of the lane less than 5 minutes walk away.
This delightful cottage has been furbished with a high end finish. Ideally located in the centre of Saffron Walden, close to The Eight Bells and a short walk to Audley End House. We arrived to music playing and fairy lights set around the sitting room and garden. A luxury breakfast basket was provided in the well equipped kitchen which includes induction hob, range oven, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and even a washing machine, not forgetting beautiful crockery and glassware. The bedrooms were both beautifully set out and the luxury bathroom included a separate shower and double ended bath. But what makes this place special is the attention of the hosts who made every effort to ensure our stay was perfect, providing lots of additional comforts such as luxury bubble bath, spare toiletries in case we'd forgotten anything, umbrellas, bbq, wood for the woodburner, tea, coffee etc, a few spices and condiments, plenty of local guides and leaflets, lots of cushions, blankets and throws to use inside and out, a picnic hamper and rug - the list goes on. They really have thought of everything - and above all, its dog friendly but we didn't detect even the slightest whiff of dogs ever having been inside.
