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 KingdomThe 4 pillows on each bed were all the same and were found by the 4 of us in our party to be too full and firm leading to stiff necks. We found one alternative pillow in a wardrobe which was a little softer so one of us had a better second night! There was no bottle opener/corkscrew but Jiri found one for us within 10 minutes or so. Also there was only comfortable seating for 3 people in a 4 person cabin so we requested a further comfortable chair which Jiri found for us and put in the lounge area which was a little 'cosy' but worth it so we could all sit comfortably. There was no plug in the kitchen sink which made it difficult to wash up. There was a handy dishwasher but as there were only 4 mugs we needed to wash them in between hot drinks! The soundproofing of the cabin could be better as the people in the cabin next door could be heard talking and the gravel driveway meant the sound of cars coming and going outside the front of the cabin was quite loud
The 2 bedroom 2 en suite bathroom cabin that we stayed in was stylishly appointed, beautifully decorated with good quality fittings and furnishings. The location overlooking the river with the decking, comfy outdoor chairs and firepit was lovely. The beds were large and extremely comfortable with very nice quality bedlinen. The showers in both shower rooms were hot and powerful and the fluffy towels were appreciated. We also appreciated the provision of tea, coffee pods and 2 pints of milk. The wifi was good and the access to the property by code rather than key meant no worrying about taking/losing keys! Jiri the onsite maintenance man/troubleshooter was very helpful and obliging and sorted out our minor niggles (see below) quickly. I would have no trouble recommending staying here.

United KingdomNothing!
Check-in instructions were clear, I met Helen at the estates office 30 minutes ahead of my check-in time. I then met Josie who upgraded us from a 'Butlers apartment' to 'the Pavillion' which was absolutely outstanding! We both had a wonderful sleep in the outrageously massive and comfortable beds. I particulatly enjoyed reading a book and watching the peacock mooching around the rose garden in the morning. I would highly recommend Avington estate to anyone looking for a bit of luxury and old world charm in Winchester.

United KingdomThe details on the booking.com website were inaccurate and misleading which led to a very disappointing stay. There was no hot tub even though it clearly stated it when I made the booking. Ruined the stay totally for me and my daughter as I would not have paid that about of money (£800) for bog standard accommodation. I have emailed Booking.com asking for a refund as I was totally misled
Good location
