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 KingdomPiglets is an idyllic place. Such a peaceful location with lots to offer, the natural swimming pool, the Mediterranean terrace, games room and more! The food is beautiful!! And hosts Chrissie and Max are welcoming, helpful and friendly (and Harry & Henry too of course). Was a perfect place to spend a break - could have stayed longer!

Breakfast was fabulous, in our opinion its the best breakfast we've ever had. Beautifully presented, locally sourced produce and perfectly cooked. Homemade marmalade, apple juice & granola was delicious. The rooms were very well presented, beds extremely comfortable and a great walk-in shower room. Everything has been very well thought out. So much so that there wasn't anything we could fault

United KingdomNothing to find fault with, if I was knit picking then maybe add a tea towel but I didn't mention this at the time, so not really fair to mention it now. We had lovely teas and coffees available in the room but having washed the cups ready for a second drink, maybe a tea towel to dry up.
Breakfast was very good, and they catered for my smaller appetite and weird breakfast requests. Max and Chrissie were really helpful with local knowledge and if it wasn't for them, we would not have got tickets for the Duxford air show or know about the road closures and diversions. Each room (we had Radwinter) had its own parking bay which was more than big enough for our very large car and seemed very secure. We booked a pizza one night which was delicious, and Chrissie very kindly made the salad to suit my taste buds. I really liked the serve yourself bar and nibbles with a large choice of drinks. Even ice cream, chocolate and crisps for late night feasts. We were looking really just for a bed for the two nights, but Piglets is so much more with a sauna, billiards, table tennis, gym, outdoor natural pool then an immense selection of books, videos and games from scrabble, draughts, backgammon and so on to keep you occupied. It was a lovely home from home with someone else doing the cooking.

It's all about being the best: best location, best food, best ambience, best bed, best pool, best honesty bar, best games room, best peace & quiet, all because of Max and Chrissie, who are the best hosts! Everything is to their exceptional taste and standards. Stay at least two nights, and don't bother going anywhere else.
