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 accommodation was clean well presented and really comfortable. The host met us and explained where everything was. She even made us a fresh batch of scones which were delicious and a very welcome start to the holiday. The views from the cottage must be some of the best in the area and was great fun feeding the Donkey and ponies apples and carrots. We have stayed in and around Rye many times and this was without doubt the best location we've had. We will definitely return.

NetherlandsReally nothing to complain about, just a minor observation. Even though it is not listed as a feature, wifi is available. Usually it's OK but sometimes connections are dropping.
Great location and very nice property with brilliant views. Somewhat secluded but very good directions were provided by a very friendly host. If we go back to Rye we definitely want to stay here again.

United StatesThe wifi was not reliable, but our host did here best to get it to work. Rose Cottage is a bit out of the way, and internet service is sketchy. The road to the cottage is a 3/4 mile long single lane dirt road with many potholes.
Part of the ground floor was taken up by a garage, but there was a very nice living room and kitchen. There were two bedrooms upstairs. The stairs were a bit dicey - another hand rail on the open side would be nice. The bedrooms were a decent size, as they took up the entire first floor above the garage. The views to the Rother River were outstanding. And there were ponies and a donkey to feed carrots to.

BelgiumWe were in Rose cottage during the storm and had quite an eventful time there. Due to the storm there was a powercut that lasted more than 30 hours! But our landlady Lynda did all she could to make our stay agreeable. She brought us a gas stove so that we could make some tea, torches, candles, etc. She dried our clothes and shoes as she had a wood stove in her own house. We feel that if a landlady shows so much concern for her guests, she is worth a 10 and more!

SwitzerlandThe only thing to watch out for is the stairs. As with any old house, it's steep, and there are no handrails all along. However, my 81-year-old mom had no problems, but you still have to stand on your own two feet to use these stairs.
As another visitor wrote, the photos don't do Rose Cottage justice. It is a magical place. The house is cute and comfortable. The beds are good, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We are greeted with delicious homemade scones. But what really makes Rose Cottage unique is the fact that it's surrounded by fields, with no neighbors, and that we can go and say hello to the animals - a lovely donkey and horses (shetland horses?). You feel amid a comforting and profoundly beneficial nature. We stayed for two nights but could definitely return for longer. In any case, it's our place of choice if we're in Kent. From Rose Cottage, it's easy to explore the region and visit Rye, Sissinghurst, Bodiam Castle, etc.
