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.).

United KingdomThe Duck House was perfectly located for exploring the area, all the major sites were no more than 30 minutes drive. A visit to RSPB Arne is a must.The flat was equipped with everything you could need while on holiday and comprehensive instructions were provided for the appliances. Wool itself has a lovely bakers selling great pasties, a well stock Spar and the Black Bear pub was great for a pint.

United KingdomNo decaf coffee; seriously, the ONLY thing not wholly positive that I could find to say about staying here. The host assures me this will be rectified as it was something just not previously considered.
I stayed on business and was bored with soul-less chain hotels and find pub-hotels a bit hit n miss whatever the price-point. So I went left-field and picked a flat/apartment, something a lot of my colleagues also do now. If you're coming on holiday, it's located in one of the nicest parts of the country. The location was perfect for my needs, being only 4 miles from where I was working and no traffic on the route. If the weather were better, I would have cycled each day. There's just enough in Wool to keep you fed and watered; Lulworth offers more but it's both seasonal and tourist-priced. However Duck House has more than enough to self-cater. The bed was comfy, the shower powerful and hot. The kitchen is well equipped; the local biscuits very tasty. The dining room table and excellent wifi allowed me to catch up with some online work. The sofa is perfectly placed for watching the Netflix-equipped TV. There is a designated parking space. Instructions for using the property and facilities are clear and the host was available at the other end of a SMS for anything out of the ordinary.

United KingdomLocation was perfect - we had a wedding to attend at Lulworth Castle which is 5-10 minutes away from the Duck House. It was located in the village with shops less than 5 minutes walk away so getting groceries was really easy. Everything we could have needed was available in the house. The house does sleep 4 - there is one large king bed and one single room and the fourth person sleeps on the sofa bed in the lounge. We heard the ducks but did not see them!

South AfricaIt was not set up for 4 adults although booked for 4 of us. My daughter slept on the couch in the lounge on the first night. No bedding or towels were set out. It was only after calling the housekeeper in the morning that we were told about the sleeper chair and bedding in the linen cupboard. No apology was offered. My daughter also found two fleas on her body.
Light and sunny welcoming space in a good location. We really enjoyed the garden.

United KingdomCouple of niggles. Grill/oven didn't work and instructions were only thing missing from the booklets. Plus light at the door wasn't working but they'd provided a torch! Stairs to access 1st floor are scary!! 😱
Perfect base for house hunting in the area. Everything we could need for a self catering stay. Location was ideal and flat was really comfortable. With foul weather, it was lovely to snuggle up.
