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 KingdomCleaning company could focus on dusting the blinds and ceiling corners, but that’s my pet niggle.
A real hidden gem of a cottage. The house is located within 30 seconds walk of mini market, take aways and pub. 5 mins walk to a train station that takes you directly to St.Albans. The house is cosy, furnished for comfort and the kitchen has everything you need for a self catering stay, even down to decent appliances. Wifi is provided and more than capable of streaming. I arrived from London Gatwick, amazed to find a direct train from the airport to St.Albans City. I had luggage, so I got a taxi to the property, but with less luggage a short walk to St.Albans Abbey station and a train to park street would have saved me £15. The host was amazing, responsive and a really easy to deal with, basically a seamless and trouble free stay from start to finish.

United KingdomKitchen needed mugs instead of tiny coffee cups. No egg cups. No bottle opener. Hoover had no suction so didn't work. Shower door off of runner. No terrestrial channels on TV only film channels. Seating in lounge not suitable for 4 adults to be comfortable.
Pretty cottage, clean, warm. Nice bedrooms but very snug for 4 adults. Location good for road networks, trains and St Albans. Nice park outlook at front. Enclosed rear small paved garden.

United KingdomWe would have preferred not to park on the road. However,there was plenty of space.
The cottage is a splendid place to stay. It is warm and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The living room is comfortable and you can choose to eat at the kitchen table or outside in the garden.The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and the bedrooms are comfortable and cosy. In the bathroom you can choose a bath or a shower. The location is great too. The playing field opposite with the nearby woods and lakes makes it the perfect place for a morning walk to see some beautiful views. It is the perfect place for a walk with a dog. For cats there is a cat flap in the kitchen St Alban's city centre can be reached from a bus stop very near. That same bus goes to the train station from where you can catch a train into London.

United KingdomWe had a toddler in the group and a tablet was found on one of the bedroom floors. The overall cleanliness was awful there was mould and limescale in the bathroom tap and the floors hadn’t been cleaned. When moving the rug there was dirt and debris all underneath and gave a very unclean feel
The decor was a nice cottage vibe and the locals were very friendly
