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 KingdomAbsolutely shocking. I was running a bath had all my things in there an some guy who lives there ran in there when I had quickly grabbed a clip for my hair in my room which was 2 seconds away.. he would not let me in for my things or anything.. pretty sure he used my bath water and my dressing gown because it was all messed up when I went in to finally grab my things. Never in my life have I been to somewhere so disgusting.. And then not got my money back . When there was no way I was staying there .. there was short hairs on the bed .. Yes you csn lock doors inside but not on your way out !! The kitchen was full of clutter every side was a mess
Nothing .. I left did not even stay and the women has refused to give me my money back.. when I had to book to sleep somewhere else that night.. You can not even lock the doors on your way out! Unless use a coin which anybody can use to reopen it. Was jam packed everywhere full of clutter

The host was really nice managed to park not too far away in a side road. It was possible to park outside but the road looked a little busy for my liking to park there. Reliable wi fi signal, comfy bed and really nice breakfast. Good location for going to Doncaster Dome the next day too

United KingdomI have never been made to feel so welcome as I did with Flo and Ian. In the morning the hosts had breakfast with the guests which I never seen before. A very friendly atmosphere, a very comfortable bed to sleep in. I have read some of the reviews and some were downright rude. Yes the house might need a little updating here and there but did that have an adverse effect on my sleep and stay.....NO IT DIDN'T.......unlike some people said I didn't feel the place was 'dirty' a little untidy maybe but it's neither here or there to me ( if you want a sterile ,gleaming place to stay book elsewhere) and I found it really good value for money and again I couldn't have wished for nicer hosts and that's very important to me. I am planning to stay with Flo again in the near future if she has anything free for the dates I want. Thank you Flo for having made me feel so incredibly welcome. Tina

United KingdomOn approaching the property you notice quite a number of delivery creates. On entering the premises you were greeted by clutter and a small table with the guest book. I was asked to wait in the dining room, where there were a lot of drink bottles a six-seater dining table two large display cabinets full off glasses, and crockery in front of the window there were books of what I don't know what. One wall had its wallpaper peeling off and stained as if there had been a leak from upstairs. The kitchen did not appear to have a clear work surface. I was shown upstairs to the room in the attic and at this point, I noticed that there was no lock on the door and was only lockable from the inside with a bathroom/toilet door lock. Therefore I was uncomfortable and felt that I could not leave anything in the room whilst I was out. I had. had a long day at work and decided that I would only spend one night in this accommodation and would find another place to stay for the second night. I would recommend that Booking.com send someone to take a look at this property. If you look at the middle photo and zoom in you will see the creates. I would not recommend this property to anyone. Its location is next door to a builder's yard. I wonder if Booking.com view the properties before allowing them on their website. I am disappointed with booking.com ahs the property does not resemble the photos on the website and feel that I should be refunded the cost. This is the first time I have had a problem with any of my many bookins.

If you are looking for a cozy familiar house, this is the place. Florence is a nice person and her home makes you feel that you are spending time with your family. The room I had was big with a big comfortable bed and a tv.

United KingdomBooked up in busy periods
This is a bit of an unconventional acommodation not a typical B&B or hotel, photos show unusual items around the rooms. Easy to find, park & good busses if wanted into town. What makes this so good is the hospitality. 2nd visit & an eclectic mix of guests made it memorable for the good feeling of sharing a meal with interesting people. Ms Mc Cready is someone who puts a lot into making you welcome. I will be back

United KingdomThis is a house not a purpose built b&b so there is one bathroom for everyone. As we were on the top floor it was a floor and a half below us. The house while clean is very cluttered. If you can't cope with that, don't choose here. The photos are accurate so we knew what to expect. We weren't given a key to the house or room so felt we had to get in earlier than we would have so we didn't keep people up. That was a little strange.
Mrs McCreedy was so welcoming. Old house with period features. Good location on bus route to lakeside so great for events at the Eco stadium. On street parking. Great price / value for money.

United KingdomI liked it all but it wouldn't suit everyone. There's no en-suite, there's more furniture and stuff than is really necessary. My room involved two flights of stairs.. All pretty trivial perhaps but is these things bother you, maybe look elsewhere. I had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
A very friendly welcome. Excellent home cooked food. Staff all really helpful. Nice clean, quiet room with a big bed. Basic but comfortable - and so much better than a generic motel. I shared an excellent evening meal with other guests and we had great chats. Incredibly good value. Very handy for the A1 and M18.
