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 KingdomThe Hive was spotlessly clean and beautifully themed. The facilities were exactly what we needed for our family of four and the kitchen was well laid out. The host was very accommodating and communicated well beforehand. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

The little touches, milk and orange juice in the fridge, tea, coffee and sugar. The decor was lovely.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like .
Our hostess was really welcoming and friendly. She has provided a comfortable imaginative place to stay.It has all you want for a comfortable break and many imaginative features. It's a good base for visiting beautiful Exmoor and the coast. Being on a main road it is easy to find an accessible yet it is still quiet and an appealing place to stay. Although there are no walks directly from The Hive, there are lovely walks, a short drive away. We hope to return and enjoy another stay.

United KingdomMore from personal preference, but no bedroom window to open made it quite warm overnight. Although thankfully this didn’t really affect a good nights sleep.
Nicely furnished, spacious and comfortable apartment. Lovely decor and facilities, great to turn up and have fresh milk and juice in the fridge. Although we didn’t get to see them, the host was very helpful and accommodating when we spoke over the phone.

United KingdomNoisy main road very close. Tap broke and wouldn't stop running, it couldn't be fixed during the day while we were out so had to be done in the evening when we were there which was disruptive. The only bathroom is in one of the bedrooms so this place is only really suitable for a couple with a child rather than friends as you have to walk through the bedroom where someone is sleeping if you need the loo in the night which is disruptive. We didn't mind so much as we are sisters but might have been an issue for some.
Beds were comfy. The host was fanstastic and managed to find an extra parking space for us even though this wasn't part of the offer. We were only supposed to be bringing one car but there was a last minute change which i forgot to inform the host about so it was entirely my fault and it was dealt with brilliantly.
