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 KingdomThe private drive down to the accommodation is a bit challenging with the encroaching high hedges, and watch out for a couple of potholes...but the end result is well worth it! 💖
A wee slice of heaven if you want peace, relaxation and lots of gorgeous walks! The Shepherd's Hut at the back of the Annexe was the perfect setting in the evening for a drink, playing cards, listening to the radio, talking and laughing together. Viv and his partner are such good hosts with lots of suggestions for places to visit, eat etc. Accommodation was immaculate and so well set out

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
There wasnt anything to not like about it, the hosts are amazing, there isnt anything they couldnt help you with and nothing was too much trouble, the land is beautiful, anyone staying is very lucky to be able to have a couple of nights to share this location and experience life in the middle of nowhere. There is a village pub with great food just a little drive down the road and Tavistock is a short 15 min drive away if you want cafes or supermarkets. The annexe is perfect has everything you need, the bed is very comfortable, this has been decorated and built with love, will definately be returning.

IrelandAll was good.
Viv our host was very welcoming and friendly. The annexe was beautiful with everything in it that was needed. The bed was really comfy. Tea, coffee and milk were there for a much needed cuppa after our 11/12hr journey from Galway. Viv was only a door away if we needed anything. The accommodation itself is in a beautiful secluded area, but also from here you had access to all other amenities with a short drive. Plenty to see and do. I would reccommend the leat to anyone as we really enjoyed it and would book it again in a heartbeat.
