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 KingdomThis is a ridiculous question forcing people to think of something they don’t like. There isn’t anything, I loved it.
That it felt like I was coming home to a great space that was relaxing after a days work. When you’re working away from home to come stay somewhere that feels like a home makes such a difference. I normally stay at the hotel that’s at the Silverstone circuit but this was the best find and just 10 minutes away. I will definitely stay again.

United KingdomWe weren’t sure if the kettle or water had a slight smell to it (or if it was the tea bags!) it wasn’t all the time but only occasionally?
The location was quiet, amongst the farm life, the size of the room was great and very clean. Great communication with the hosts. Really lovely stay and highly recommend.

United KingdomHeadroom under the two beams in the main living area are low when you are 6'5"....... however for 95% of guests, it will be fine! I just put a coat over it so I didn't knock myself out getting up in the middle of the night...... ;-) It was not a problem and is 100% part of the charm of this superbly renovated barn.
Super quiet location, but very quick into Towcester if you needed and very close to Whittlebury Hall which is where I was working. Very comfortable and large room with good bathroom and kitchen.

United KingdomNothing, the whole stay was amazing.
The cottage is absolutely stunning. In a beautiful location. We stayed during Ford Fair at Silverstone and loved how we could hear the cars in the distance. But the location itself is extremely quiet and peaceful. All the facilities you need, including a nice touch being given milk and bacon and some other bits to eat. The bed is big and comfortable, and there is Sky TV which is great for us being football fans. We said if we didn't have kids, we would want to move in!! The shower is hot and great pressure too. Honestly cannot fault the cottage at all. We will definitely book again!! The owner was lovely as well.
