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 KingdomBeautiful cottage in a great location 5 mins drive to Shanklin. The garden was perfect for our dog. Lovely and quiet location.

United KingdomBecause the key box was attached to outside not under a cover it was rather difficult to move the number wheels and then equally difficult to prise the key box front open to access the key. Maybe oiling it, or DW40 might help, or some sort of box over it to keep the rain off.
It was a good sized garden for our 2 dogs and very good to have our car parked by the garden gate. The rooms were a good size and the kitchen well equipped though for our short stay we did't really bother to cook in the evenings following lovely pub lunches out. The cottage was ideally situated to visit beaches south of it. Yaverland Beach being the one we enjoyed most. Had conditions not been so wet we would have enjoyed walking more around the area near the cottage.

United KingdomThe cottage could do with some updating, particularly the bathroom that could do with a refresh.
Beautiful, peaceful location near to Shanklin and The Garlic Farm, lovely big and secure garden that my dog loved and a lovely kitchen. The cottage is much larger than the photos suggest and was overall clean and comfortable.

United KingdomI can't say we didn't like anything.
After reading some bad reviews we were a little concerned. But our stay was brilliant. Its an old cottage but inside was comfy cosy and very welcoming. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare your own food. Living room was cosy. with some lovely books on the bookshelf and jigsaws in the cupboard. Our kids loved the 3 beds in one room. the cottage was lovely and warm and the beds were comfy. Would definitely stay here again! Just a 5 min drive to Amazon World and only a short drive to Shanklin.

United KingdomThere was a stain on our bedding, and the freezer needed defrosting. Had a slight musty smell on entering the property but we soon didn’t notice it.
The property is in a great location with lots of walks for our dog. The kitchen was fully equipped and the beds were comfortable.

United KingdomHenry hoover was a bit stinky when using 😂 smelt like a dog's home 🙈 I just think the bag needed changing? Nothing major though. Don't let this put you off. Hopefully the cleaner will check and change the vacuum bag often.
Lovely converted barn, was warm and cozy. The location was lovely and peaceful, there's lots of wildlife about. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. There's a smart TV in the lounge that you can sign into your own netflix account etc. And bring your own consoles. There's a selection of board games and information leaflets on nearby attractions. The information file could do with an update, there's DVDs but no DVD player for example. But that didn't effect the stay at all. In the kitchen there's everything you could need and more. Enjoyed our weeks stay here. Would love to come back in the summer.

United KingdomCleanliness and communication. We tried to call the given contact to notify that we found mould and dirt in the bathrooms. We got no response. We cleaned it ourselves.
Location and property were excellent. Good literature on site about services and owners

United KingdomRead the reviews and thought seems ok, So not sure when property was cleaned, outside is as important as inside. Doors covered in cobwebs. Patio furniture covered, mean covered with bird droppings. Inside seemed clean, however, carpet in living room was alive with Ants. Whilst in the kitchen preparing food, ants all over counter top. Thick dust on top of sofas. All windows upstairs dirty and hall full of cobwebs. Not talking one days worth. Ant powder done at front door, seems to have a big problem with ants that’s not been addressed. Mat in the bath, after a shower all the grime came out, did not want to lift it up! awful plastic toilet seat that moved. Had to sleep separately to my husband as the double bed, you just fell into the middle. Needs new mattress. House needs refreshing, holes in the walls and ceiling’s. Fridge is not up to code. Salad draw has no top. Any raw items can drip onto the salad items. Freezer has a draw broken and iced up. Last person left grass in there. Bin had food waste at the bottom when I changed to rubbish bag. oh and you can not recycle as they will not remove it. Told to place in general rubbish. Not very good. Not very happy with stay, booked it due to 8+ rating!
Good location, very quiet in the evening. Good walks and enclosed garden for the dog.
