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 KingdomIt would be good to have access to a fridge for longer stays as there is no catering in site.
Check in and out was easier. The room was very clean and comfortable. It exceeded my expectations. The grounds are beautiful- I can undertand why it is an attractive location for weddings. It is easy distance from the park and ride, which makes transportation into town easy and much cheaper than parking.

United KingdomThere is nowhere to get food on site and we didn’t fancy going to the pub for dinner. So we ended up with sandwiches. If there was access to a microwave we could have expanded our options.
Great location, just off the M11. Chalet rooms are small but clean, warm and well equipped. The contactless check in and out was a bit confusing at first. Loads of parking. Excellent garden centre close by that has good food and a farm shop.

United StatesOne needed to have access to the internet to use the app to get into the building. Even if one had been in the house and had the password, it wasn’t possible to connect outside the building.
The rooms were lovely and the bed comfortable. We enjoyed the walk to the Ploughing after a long day of driving.

United KingdomNo-one on reception when we arrived around 4.30pm. We wouldn't recommend staying in the main building to anyone who doesn't have a smart phone (or if battery flat!) or doesn't know how to download apps (like us) as the main building has digital access to the main door and room (luckily there was someone around to help us otherwise we would have been ringing up the owner/manager). Next time we'd stay in the chalet rooms as they have normal keys in envelopes waiting for the client at reception! The bed was a little soft for us, but that is just a personal thing - bedding/pillows were great.
Unbelievable value for money. The location is perfect - just on the outskirts of Cambridge, yet it feels like you're in the countryside. Gated access to long drive leading to plenty of parking - enough for car and trailer if needed. Not far to the accommodation which was a beautiful old building set in lovely well kept grounds and a few animals surrounding the property. The decor was very tasteful and in keeping with the age of the property (we stayed in the main building) and it had everything we needed (even an iron and ironing board). The building was lovely and warm, even though the heating wasn't on. Everything was spotless, and the shower was amazing. We would definitely recommend this to anyone, and if in the area, we would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomLow roof/beam in room meant that I banged my head a couple of times. Room was very hot all night, needed to open the window to cool down so heard the music from the late night function.

South AfricaChallenge was the digital key; the system saw our first name as the surname so we struggled to access the digital key using our legitimate booking surname. The establishment are not communicable after hours via the booking.com site so please ensure mobile network is online and do not rely on WhatsApp data. Friendly staff when in contact.
Beautiful English room superbly clean absolutely gorgeous location with immaculate gardens. Very comfortable and a rating 10 out of 10 for comfort and location. Wifi available at the front door of the main house so easy to access.

United KingdomNothing. The reviews I read before going were quite negative. However, it had everything you needed. The hotel explains there is limited washing accessories, which, you generally take your own wash kit so wasn’t a problem. Also they say it is not a frills & spills hotel, it’s more like you don’t get the luxury extras. We found it to be lovely, comfortable, clean & loved the decor. We didn’t see any staff as everything is confirmed on line even our room key was all on line, which gave us our own independence. Should you require any food, there is none available, however, they do recommend eating places local & within walking distances.
Lovely clean, homely hotel. Lounge areas were clean & comfortable No food included, which was not required.

Our bedroom was in a newly renovated house next to the main building. It was cosy and clean. Nice country side view and well maintained exterior. I would definitely come back and stay longer.
