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 KingdomAnnie is the perfect host - nothing is too much trouble. She has a beautiful home and makes you feel very much ‘at home’. The rooms are very comfy with quality furnishings and the bedrooms also have direct access to your own relaxing part of the garden. The breakfast is amazing and set us up for the day ahead. Thanks for a perfect stay and the extra little treats.

United KingdomAnnie is the most amazing, kind, generous host, nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely gorgeous house in beautiful grounds and countryside. A luxury stay, we had a beautiful room, the waterbed was amazing my husband after being skeptical is now a complete convert, jacuzzi bath and our own private garden and hot tub. Dressing gown and slippers, Prosecco in the fridge and other welcome gifts. Breakfast was made to order at a time of our choice and served in the most beautiful kitchen. We were made to feel welcome and very quickly relaxed. This is a hidden gem not to be missed we will be recommending to everyone and hope to visit again soon.

United KingdomThis is a 5 star plus experience, it is truly amazing. What can I say Annie is the most amazing host, she goes out her way to help and assist with any of your needs, I did feel like I was part of the family. I will definitely recommend this accommodation simply fabulous. The accommodation has a water bed! Had my doubts but it was amazing had a great sleep. The whole accommodation oozes luxury, lots of quirky bits which I love as this makes it very interesting. Breakfast was fab, exceptional choices of cereals, fruit, etc and also hot cooked breakfast made to order by Annie, which was excellent and plenty of choice. The grounds are lovely, there are two hot tubs, unfortunately we did not get the opportunity of using due to the wet July weather, but look forward to using on a return visit. We stayed 2 nights met a lovely family from South Africa we were all there for the Open golf in Troon. Very friendly indeed. Annie recommended the Clock Tower restaurant for dinner, which is on the Estate and it did not disappoint, the restaurant was lovely, staff all friendly, food delicious and very reasonable, would recommend. Will definitely return as it was a truly an great experience, thanks for everything Annie.
