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 KingdomThe property was cost and warm. Simply furnished it had everything one wanted (apart perhaps from a bathtub - there was an excellent shower!).
This is an adorable, typical Devon thatched cottage - well, actually part of the larger house, but it feels completely private. The location is secluded and beautiful, surrounded by deciduous woodlands and multiple footpaths

United KingdomKey collection was simple, call at main house & Charles was there with keys, welcomed us & showed us around the property. Also explained how everything worked & made sure we had contact details in case of any problems (which there were none). The accommodation was warm & cosy, beds extremely comfortable & the shower hot & powerful. There was milk, bread & tea & coffee provided on arrival. The secluded location was stunning & lovely & easy for our dog.

United KingdomWe loved this cottage very much and if we were to be picky there was a lot of mould in bathroom which could do with sorting and a foot stool in the lounge would be welcomed. However, none of this would stop us staying again, we loved it and highly recommend it.
The cottage is set off the beaten track and our stay was so peaceful. The cottage was fully stocked with everything we could need and such a lovely touch to have fresh milk (from the farm up the road) and bread on arrival. The fresh flowers was a lovely touch too. The cottage was cosy and comfortable. We loved meeting little Hetty (dog) which our dog liked too!

SingaporeIf there's 1 negative thing to say, it would be the mould on the tiles in the shower.
Loved staying in a period house. The family is obviously house proud. Beautifully kept gardens too. We didn't stay long, so I wish we could have used the trails around the house more.

United KingdomNothing! Everything was perfect!
What a lovely stay at Rock House Cottage! We only wish we could have stayed longer! The host Charles was very welcoming and we loved their cockapoo Hetty! The cottage was very cosy while also feeling spacious and had great outdoor space. We were so lucky with the weather and ate outside for breakfast every morning in the beautiful garden, and played games outside in the evening. We also made use of the BBQ one evening which was great fun. Inside, the beds were very comfortable and the waterfall shower was heavenly! The kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment you’d need. There were also basics like oil, salt, pepper, tea and coffee etc The hosts kindly included a nice loaf of bread, some butter, jam and milk too! Location wise, it was perfect for exploring Dartmoor and not far from Exeter and the coastline too. Couldn’t have asked for more! We had the best time and hope to return again in future!

NetherlandsWhat a very beautiful authentic house with a great view. On arrival we received Charles with his cute dog Hetty (so sweet) a short word of welcome and explanation. The house consists of a cozy sitting room, fully equipped kitchen. On the first floor two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The whole house and garden are really beautifully decorated. We have been to Drogo Castle and Buckfast Abbey, both highly recommended. You also see a lot of Dartmoor along the way.

United Kingdomit’s clearly very popular and therefore needs a bit more of tlc in the general uptick and cleaning in my honest opinion. That wouldn’t necessarily stop me staying again and I would want to know.

United KingdomThe living room area was a little smaller than we expected, but it was cosy, not cramped. Could do with a fan or ventilation in the shared bathroom, although it could be a listed building, so that might not be possible.
Great location, and ideal for our purpose. Very interesting property, and our first time in a thatched cottage. Dog friendly too, which was to 'Peppers' liking. The bread, butter, and milk were a nice touch.
