Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt's was peaceful, the host showed us around, despite living in the main house she gave us complete privacy. The barn is central to some nice locations for days out. Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth and the New forest to name a few.

NetherlandsFor me the ultimate perfect location has to have a solid strong quality bed for a night s good and relaxing sleep and clearly all aspects of the Barn were perfect except for the bed, I would strongly advise the owners to invest in a more solid mattress to make the experience a perfect 10 for every one.
Perfect location, great host, every detail of the barn is nicely renovated, kitchen and bathroom are both high tec quality, cosy living room and delightfull views all around inclusive the garden.

FranceJust two minor details: the height of the mirror in the bathroom was quite low and a bit difficult to use; the window of the door in the bedroom did not have blinds/curtains, so it was light in the bedroom quite early in summer.
Very welcoming and helpful hosts, very clean and comfortable place, very well equipped kitchen. It was nice to be able to sit on the terrace overlooking the front garden on the warm days.

CanadaThe only minor grumbles we have about our stay here involved the bathroom. The height of the mirror was so low that it was hard to use without straining our backs, and we are of average height. And, there is nowhere to put any shower toiletries when showering so they have to sit on the floor - so be sure to bring your own travel shower caddy.
We had a little difficulty finding The Barn but once we arrived Clare's welcome was extremely warm, friendly, and inviting. She immediately showed us into her lovely barn conversion and gave us a walk thru and explanation of how everything operated. On first impression it is obvious how much thought, effort and care has been put into creating and operating this rental accommodation. Everything is immaculate, well organized and thoughtfully furnished. The bedroom and open concept kitchen-living room are both bright, very spacious and comfortable, and provide an abundance of extra touches and comforts. The bathroom is roomy, the shower great, and like everything else, was spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well-equipped, very functional, and was very clean, along with all of the kitchen appliances. The location was perfect as a central base to make day trips into Romsey and to the many other beautiful towns and sites in the surrounding countryside. This is such a lovely rental property that is full of warmth and character....and the barn's exterior gardens are equally beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. It was so easy to make ourselves at home here, and after 4 nights we didn't want to leave.

United KingdomFinding it was tricky in the dark. Perhaps some form of better directions starting from the war memorial would be sensible. Hosts were on the end of the phone to help so no big deal.
Very spacious and comfortable old barn fully modernised. Decent pub (Wheatsheath) close by, 10 min walk away serving good food, decent beer.
