Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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 KingdomIf you are not able to do stairs think twice before booking!
The staff could not have been more friendly. We were able to check in early, she gave us local taxi number, had a chat with us about where everything was while we had a drink at their bar. Honestly the women working when we checked in is an absolute star!

AustraliaI found the bedroom too hot as there was a heater on all night. The carpark was busy with cars for an art course. We had requested a parking space. Luckily we got one nearby.
A great location, very pleasant dining room. Owners are friendly.

United KingdomWe stayed during a cold snap and the room was extremely cold on arrival; whilst the heating was kept on we ended up borrowing a hot water bottle from the owners’ family. There were no blankets in the room. I must acknowledge that this was all addressed and by the following night the room was toasty and we had a blanket, all resulting in a much more comfortable night.
Lovely location, amazing staff - very friendly owner and family. The room was a good size and had a super shower, coffee-making facilities and comfortable beds. The Durbeyfield was very dog-friendly. The cosy, licensed snug with the football showing and beer on tap.

United KingdomIf anything to mention, the room was a bit too warm for us at night, but I guess it`s just personal preference.
Location is unbeatable - the bay and the beach is literally 3 minutes walk away. Breakfast was delicious (english breakfast and small cereal boxes and jams are available) - we both had the vegetarian sausage what was an absolute positive surprise. It wasn`t something to mimic meat, but almost like hash brown in a sausage shape wit different veggies mixed in (if that makes sense). Lovely.
