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 KingdomHoney was provided on the side our vegan breakfast which isn't vegan however, as it was on the side in a separate dish there was no problem!
Wonderful bnb with an extremely comfortable bed and the vegan breakfast options were delicious and varied. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Family Tree again if we were in the area!

United KingdomOur stay at The Family Tree was perfect. The bed was so comfortable and the room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean. There were so many lovely touches, like the bubble bath and cotton wool in the bathroom, and the wooden folder of information about the accommodation and local facilities. The staff were pleasant and efficient, a reflection of the good training and treatment they receive from the owners, I'm sure. The breakfast was another highlight. The selection, presentation and quality was one of the best we've ever had. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and we intend to go back ourselves.

United KingdomSlight issue with tv, the signal wasn’t very good, so it had to be done through WiFi, however we lost internet connection on 2nd evening and there was nobody about to sort this out for us. Didn’t spoil our stay though.
The room was very nice and spotlessly clean, it had everything we needed, very comfortable bed. Couldn’t fault the breakfast, it was really nice with planet to choose from. The staff were pleased, friendly and helpful.

The location was great and had free parking. The room was lovely and cosy, very nicely decorated with free toiletries and tea & coffee supplies. Plenty of pillows and nice and warm. The owner and staff were very friendly and the breakfast was absolutely amazing! Best we've had at an overnight stay. Great value for money and would recommend and stay again.

United KingdomWe stayed in the Oak Room, lots of little extra touches. Lovely bubble bath provided alongside other shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. I had a nice bubble bath in the roll top tub. Thoughtful touches such as offering to provide plates and cutlery if we wanted a takeaway in our room - which we did! Beautiful breakfast consisting of a tray at our table containing fresh berries, greek yoghurt, cereals, apple and orange juice and croissants. The cooked breakfast menu was varied and our full English was fantastic! We parked in the customer car park which was very convenient. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend to family and friends
