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 KingdomNothing to really be picky about.
The quiet location. It was like a home from home, with all that you needed to settle in smoothly. A garden that I felt at ease to allow my dog to roam without constant surveillance was a god send. The pleasant and friendly owners were lovely.

CanadaVery picky, but I'm a lady who travels with a lot of lotions and potions. A little more space in the bathroom would have been nice. But there were heaps and heaps of drawers in the bedroom.....so it balanced out.
Everything was perfect. The property is spacious and very comfortable. I didn't use the air-fryer but I'm sure for some people it would be a treat. I loved having a washer, tumble-dryer and freezer available. Totally clean. All questions answered quickly....even silly ones! Great shower. Fabulously equipped kitchen. Everything we looked for was there. Spacious parking. Easy to work TV (they aren't all!!). Good Internet. Lovely location away from any busy area. I enjoyed seeing the horses wandering by.

United KingdomSwallow cottage was idyllic. It was quiet and peaceful and was perfect in every way. Kate ( the host) checked I had everything I needed on arrival and was there when I left. So much attention to detail had been put into the cottage. There wasn't anything that you could fault. We will definitely return.

United KingdomNothing- everything was perfect!
This is the most gorgeous little place, I stayed with my daughter and our dog over Christmas and we had the most wonderful break. It’s so quiet and peaceful, perfect if you want to just escape for a few days. Kate and Ryan are fabulous hosts, super friendly and helpful, Kate even dropped us off at the pub on Xmas Eve as we couldn’t get a taxi! We will definitely be returning as we would love to see it during the summer. The garden is plenty big enough for the dogs to have a run around, it is enclosed however my 6 month old mini schnauzer seems to be a bit of an escape artist and managed to go off exploring, She didn’t go far but is rather nosy so had a little wander around the farm. The place has everything you need and was toasty warm when we were there, the under floor heating is 👌🏼 Get it booked… you won’t be disappointed!!

United KingdomMattress not that comfortable felt as if lost it's firmness
Great communication from owner and easy to follow directions to property. Friendly and welcoming host. Beautiful rural location but only 10 mins drive to nearest facilities. It's evident to see a lot of hard work and love has gone into swallow cottage, lovely views and so quiet. Easy parking, great to have the drying room and plenty of private garden area to enjoy. A little gem of a find. Already recommended to family and friends

Swallow Cottage is a lovely, quiet place to stay. The location is good for trips to The Lake District and Yorkshire and the surrounding countryside is definitely worth exploring. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and the fully enclosed garden is great for dogs. Parking is ample and easy. Would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.
