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 KingdomEverything about the cottage was perfect. The attention to detail! The Quirkiness! The location!! It was comfortable and homely and had so much charm about it. My two sons loved the Alice In wonderland theme (as did I) and discovered something new every day we were there.The owner was also lovely and helpful. Would highly recommend and will most certainly be booking again.

Everything you ever wanted from a quirky fun property. Eating out, parking and sights all within spitting distance. Clean and comfortable with a very comfy bed and so well equipped. The jewel in the crown the interior design, would keep small children entertained for hours. We did not take a child only our dog who also enjoyed herself. I can highly recommend

Well equipped rental. love to details and absolutely special decor. Beds are comfy. The double does squeak but it didn't bother us. Location is brilliant. loads of food options in walking distance. No allocated parking but public parking across. I don't know how difficult it would be in summer but no issue in the off season. Honest description about everything (e.g. bathroom downstairs) helpful host 10/10

United KingdomThe main bed was really squeaky - every time you moved!
Alice in Wonderland cottage was superb and wonderfully unique. The host, Jules, had gone to a lot of trouble to make an Alice in Wonderland theme and it was great fun - we even spotted hidden things we hadn't noticed just as we walked out the door to leave! She had thought and supplied everything that you may need for your stay. It was a very well equipped kitchen and she had left some little surprises for us on arrival which was a thoughtful and a well appreciated gesture. She had supplied local information too which was helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.
