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, 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, 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.).

A gorgeous place to stay for visiting Bosham and surrounding areas. Every little detail was thought of and Jane was so welcoming. We had a one night stay but wished we’d booked for longer.

Breakfast of yoghurt and granola with croissant and juice came with the price of the room, which, due to good weather I ate on my own private terrace, however, I could have had a full English breakfast for an extra supplement had I have wanted it. The room was exceptionally clean with thoughtful little touches such as fresh flowers and chocolate! The location was perfect for my trip, whether I wanted to get into town to see sights or have an evening meal out.

United KingdomOur room was a little noisy as we could hear the traffic, as it was facing the main road. We’re woken up at 5.30am.
It was a wonderful couple of days, and Jane was a fantastic host. She was warm, engaging and friendly, and made us feel extremely welcome. We couldn’t recommend her place more. The gardens were beautiful, and the breakfast, 1st class.

United KingdomThe only slight down side is that the room and bathroom is small. However, it is still super comfortable and has everything that you need for a great get away.
We had an excellent stay at the Boat House. The host was super kind and very attentive to everything we could have needed. The room and facilities were wonderfully clean. The bed was super comfortable and accommodating to my 6FT husband. The garden to the Boat House is beautiful with a wonderful pond. We saw deer and have wonderful sights of the Northern Lights during our stay. The breakfast was also delicious. We chose to have the extra charged breakfast and it was so worth it. The quality of the food was excellent, natural orange juice and great fruit. We loved our stay and would recommend. We stayed for a wedding in Chichester but would stay again to further explore the area.

United KingdomI can’t think of anything we disliked about the property.
Room was immaculate - bed super comfortable - great power shower - loved the walk in wardrobe and the continental breakfast brought to us in the morning excellent - we opted not to have the full English breakfast on this occasion but if we return to this area we would certainly order it. Our host Jane was very friendly and gave us excellent advice regarding places to eat in the evening. I also like the fact it is part of green tourism.
