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 KingdomFeather pillows would have been nice but I appreciate that some folk would not agree. As property is single storey it is bound to be chosen by disabled travellers thus grab rails in the excellent shower would be useful.
Our host had thought of everything to make your visit comfortable and pleasurable. Fresh fruit and chocs, fresh milk, ice in the fridge, toilet roll, kitchen roll, hairdryer etc all provided. Good size towels and quality bedding.

United KingdomThe Cowstall had been really well renovated and offered a fabulously clean, comfortable and pretty accommodation! The beds and bedding were especially clean and comfortable, ensuring a good nights sleep. Jan provided a lovely welcome pack and the views over the field is charming, especially when the chickens are running around at breakfast time.

Paul met us at the gate as we arrived, showed us where to park and then showed us all around the property. He had designed the conversion of the cowstall and it couldn’t have been better. It was spacious, tastefully decorated but homely. We had everything we needed during our stay, we had a welcome bowl of fruit, some biscuits, milk in the fridge, chocolates and a little jar of local honey. Jan and Paul were kind, friendly and very helpful, we were very happy with our stay.

United KingdomSelf catering as we knew. There is quite a comprehensive garage shop up the road but really there aren't any parades of shops close by to speak of. Jan left tea, coffee, milk, biscuits which was great but best to bring your supplies with you.
Location was nice and quiet. No street lights which suited us well. Easy to use satnav to get to where we wanted to go. Jan, the host, was very informative without being overbearing.
