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.).

AustraliaThe Stables @ Pear Tree Cottage are the perfect distance from London Heathrow to make it a good departure point for an International flight. We had dinner at The Pilgrim - 5 to 19 min walk away. The £5 breakfast of cereal, yoghurt, tea, coffee and fruit allowed us to get a quick start.

United KingdomThe property is a touch difficult to find (no fault of the owners), but once you find it it’s absolutely brilliant!
The property is tucked away and quiet, with a lovely view of the fields behind. Room was clean and tidy, comfortable and well stocked with breakfast options for the morning. Unbelievable value for money, would 100% stay again!

Everything was perfect! Kettle, microwave and toaster included. I did not expect breakfast in the fridge, which was an unexpected bonus, and the choice , bread, butter, milk, jam, yoghurt, fruit, fruit juice etc. And tea, coffee and a variety of cereals! How can you do that for the price? Hosts were great.

United KingdomThe room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Beds were super comfortable. Lots of windows with a view of the pretty garden and countryside (we were in room 2). Nice patio with seating. The breakfast provided was great. Toaster and microwave in the room, good sized wardrobe with hangers, mini fridge and a table and chairs for eating at. Fantastic location, close to Waddesdon. The hosts were really lovely, friendly and their little dog Dolly was an added bonus. There were lambs at the end of the garden and pretty countryside views. All in all, a really nice little gem to stay in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside. We will be back next time we visit friends in the area.

United KingdomJust a few tiny little things if I'm really picky. A few curtain ring hooks were broken, a tiny bit of mould on the bath mastic, the shower screen on the bath was difficult to open and close, a small segment of laminated floor missing under the bedside rug and the wardrobe runners need cleaning. The deep gravel on the driveway makes it very hard for disabled access (wheelchair or rollator use)
First B&B I have ever stayed that has a microwave, toaster and fridge. Very clean and a lovely outside space to sit and enjoy the countryside. Toast, jams, milk & cereals, yoghurts, apples, fruit juice for the very cheap breakfast. After watching four in a bed, top marks for a clean loo brush, LOL.

United KingdomI have stayed here before. So know from experience when to stop listening to my satnav as the satnav for some reason takes you past the actual entrance to the property and thereby complicates things. Ian now flags this up in a message sent prior to arrival which I think is very useful and being proactive. Property is easy to locate. Clear instructions about how to locate key and gain access. Breakfast provided is a very nice touch. In good weather there it is possible to sit outside and enjoy the green, serene surroundings.

United KingdomThe single beds in the second bedroom were rather too firm for our liking.
This property was a real find - in a delightful quiet rural location yet surprisingly close to Sittingbourne, Gillingham and the M2. The walks for us and our dog were straight from the car parking place outside. Our two bedroomed accommodation was comfortable, well heated and well equipped for our eight night stay. The owner was attentive and very helpful. We hope to return next year.
