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 KingdomWe had missed the information in the booking about the electricity meter. The bunk room was very small and really better suited for kids. We did have a lot of flies but we think more seasonal issue than the owners fault.
Beautiful location, parking right outside Owl Grove cottage and very lovely, helpful host. Cottage was warm and full of character, just a little dated in some areas. Had it been warmer BBQ and outside area would have been great.

United KingdomThe property is advertised as having a restaurant on site. The restaurant closed in August. It was very hard trying to get a taxi into Monmouth. The owners told us “you’ll be lucky”. The electricity meter was a bit of a pain.
Surroundings were pretty. It was quiet and peaceful, the birds loved the feeders in front of the property. Good location for accessing the countryside by car, close to lots of canoeing and SUPing destinations.

United KingdomThe lack of information regarding the property and some facilities listed were communal and not in the property and this was not clear from listed info. However the staff were quick to respond to our queries. pre- payment meter for Electrics seems mean.
The rooms were cosy and with comfy seating , large dining table and decent kitchen area. lots of crockery and facilities made catering for family party easy.

FranceThe reception on the terrestrial TV was patchy, I was watching a football match on BBC and the picture was breaking up. Then a programme later on BBC2 was unwatchable. It is not really acceptable in this day and age to not even have a terrestrial TV that works properly so I would say this is a negative. I didn’t come to watch TV particularly but it should still work.
Good accommodation perfect for our needs. Helpful and friendly host. Parking space very close to the accommodation so not far to go to unpack. Very quiet and no noise from the on-site restaurant.

United KingdomCoin operated electricity meters? About 20 years since we stayed in a cottage where the fuel cost wasn't absorbed in the rental. The notices around the cottages make the place seem cheap, which it isn't. There was no welcome pack, and modern holiday homes normally offer tea/coffee/milk/sugar. Again seems rather mean.
Very nice cottages in beautiful countryside. Very well equipped and good for a family get together as there are several cottages around the same courtyard.

United KingdomThe cottage was wonderful and cozy, but the adjoining cottage has a room directly over the living space. This proved quite noisy but doable for a single night overlap.
The host was available on our arrival and extremely helpful with getting reservations to the restaurant and a big bag of firewood.

United KingdomThe heating system could be upgraded. The electricity system is a bit old with coin based operation which you need to pay. The bathroom could do with an exhaust fan.
The ambience and the period look. Also the location. The fireplace was really a big plus and a much needed facility. We had everything we needed for the stay

United KingdomNone at all.
The cottage was warm and the host was most informative and welcoming. Having got a little lost due to misreading the sat nav, and having called for help, the host came out on a cold Jan night to direct us into her driveway! We were celebrating a family 60th birthday and having an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge with wood burner, it was perfect to have everyone together whatever we were doing. Location was great for Monmouth and the River Wye and had we been staying longer than a weekend, there would have been plenty to see and walks to take in the immediate area.
