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.).

SpainThere is nothing we didn.t like it was excellent 👍
This is a real true gem. Wonderful location within walking distance to two lovely local pubs , a canal and locks with walkways, coffee shop and museum.. the Old Chapel was an absolute delight to stay there . Elaine, Nadia & Carol made our stay exceptional. They gave us the Wisteria room , beautifully furnished with just everything you could wish for. Very clean , comfortable, light and a lovely view of the rear patio garden. The room and bathroom are spacious and very well equipped. We arrived and were instantly greeted by Carol , who showed us our room and all the extra things like extra coffee machines, teas , coffee, soft drinks, and an honesty bar . Fridge with our fresh milk , water, orange juice etc . Also great info about where to go out and about , which we explored and thoroughly enjoyed. Our room had just so much ...good quality teas, coffees, sweets, fresh fruit, chocolate bars, crisps, and beautiful fresh made lemon cake ( on our second day every thing replenished with an added special treat of chocolates brownies and gingerbread biscuits). There was even a box of popcorn to enjoy watching Netflix on your TV.. Everything was perfectly thought out. A lot of love and care has been put into this lovely B & B. Breakfast arrived discreetly outside our room in a large picnic basket and this was a WOW ..fresh sandwiches, pastries, yogurt, muesli, croissants, jam, cereal and fruit. All beautifully wrapped separately and presented. We would shout out from the roof tops about this as a number 1 place to stay in the area. Thank you so much for making our weekend so special.

Just a beautiful location. Next to the canal with a couple of pubs. They looked after us during our stay and provided perfect help on getting around and local advice. The hosts and cleaning staff were so friendly and welcoming. You can tell they take great pride in what they provide.

United KingdomPerfect stay. We were attending a wedding nearby & before we’d even arrived we were helped with information on taxis etc. When we were greeted we were shown the facilities & were surprised at how much was complimentary. There are delicious cordials, crisps, chocolate & homemade cake, which was perfect when we got back after the wedding & felt a little “jaded”. We also had a recommendation of The Boat (within walking distance) for a light bite which was lovely. The room was so well equipped & the bed large & comfy. Breakfast was served to the room in a hamper & was plentiful. Before we left we had a lovely stroll along the canal. Loved it so much we’ve already booked to come back & stay longer.

United KingdomWe stayed for just one night in the Wisteria Suite as a stopover on our long-distance walk along the Grand Union Canal. It was wonderful. Everything about this place is generous, from the warm welcome, the size of the room, the enormous bed and the array of complimentary snacks and treats - even milk and soft drinks in the fridge. No plastic thimble-sized pots of UHT milk here! As we were travelling very light, I really appreciated the thoughtful details such as the magnifying mirror in the bathroom. The breakfast hamper was also a treat, and what we couldn't manage for breakfast became our packed lunch for the walk ahead. The Old Chapel is perfectly situated, less than 100m from the canal, and only a few steps more away from two pubs and an Indian Restaurant. Perfect!

Had a lovely one night stay in this outstanding boutique B&B ! There was a warm welcome from one of the owners and a gorgeous tray of complementary treats in our room . The room was cosy and beautifully furnished and styled. We walked to a nearby pub for evening meal along the canal and also enjoyed the delicious breakfast hamper delivered to our room the next morning . Would recommend and planning to return in the warmer weather to enjoy the surrounding countryside .

United KingdomI was a bit disappointed with the continental breakfast. It was lovely to receive a picnic basket packed with breakfast, but the croissant/pastries were not particularly fresh and with no means of heating them up they were pretty unappealing.

United StatesThere can be no critique of perfection.
From first contact with Eileen, through our entire stay, we couldn’t have asked for more. The place is incredible, as well as the service and care that is given by Eileen. Really cannot say enough to show how spectacular this B&B is. Comfortable bed and accommodations with every little detail thought of. Incredible breakfast delivered in picnic basket. Really, there’s nothing that is not done exceptionally. Of all the places we stayed over the course of a week, this was heads above everything else. We were pampered beyond our expectations.

Absolutely beautiful B&B. We were doing a charity walk and had complicated logistics. The owner was so helpful in allowing us to drop off our luggage and check in early. She also very kindly gave us an upgrade. Perfect location, right on the canal, with multiple options for dinner close by. The room itself was gorgeous with everything you might possibly want or need. We've never stayed in a room with so many goodies provided. There was a fridge in the hallway with soft drinks and milk, as well as a selection of alcoholic drinks that you could purchase. In the morning a breakfast hamper was left outside the room, with a huge selection of breakfast items, which we were able to enjoy, sitting on the patio in the late Autumn sunshine.. A wonderful stay, we'd love to return
