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 KingdomThere is absolutely nothing to mention
We loved the cottage as a whole and we had a very relaxing time. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the entire space is fully equipped and spotlessly clean. The beautiful fragrances throughout add to the charm. The cottage has been finished to the highest standard, with no expense spared, making it feel just like home. There is a selection of toys, board games and books available for guests, which is very thoughtful. We enjoyed interacting with the animals, which added to the charm of our stay. The location is great, less than 15 min drive to the nearest shop, selection of takeaways and town centre, but also to venture out further afield. We loved visiting Wales, we loved the accommodation and hope to be back one day. Thank you to lovely hosts Rachel & Mark.

DenmarkNothing. Everything was perfect
Amazing property, clean and beautiful. Children absolutely loved it - they had their own child size room, there were some toys and children books and all those lovely animals. They found some eggs in the chicken houses. We ate them too :) What a marvelous event for those 2 city urchins! Beautiful location in the heart of welsh countryside.

All the attention to detail - it has everything you could need - a home away from home. Our children enjoyed the chickens, pigs, cats and dog. Very sweetly made chocolate brownies and left us eggs and milk we could use.

United KingdomAlthough there was a lovely sitting-out area, perhaps in future they could provide a run-around area for younger holiday-makers.
Beautiful views near the cottage. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, they provided fresh eggs, milk etc. The children loved the animals and were allowed to feed them which made their day! All in all a very successful and comfortable stay. Totally recommend this accommodation.

United KingdomOnly drawback was that the upstairs room was a little hard to get up to with narrow stairs (hard with a heavy bag) and quite low ceiling - if you are aware of it, no problem!
Really lovely wonderful stay - thank you. We were met by the house owners who handed over the keys and gave us an overview of the property which is opposite their house. It was really spacious and open and light - you know when you stay somewhere and you know it will be nice? Well, it felt like home almost immediately. There was some milk, tea bags and coffee when we arrived, plus some delicious warm fruit cake. It is about a 10/15min drive from the nearest town, beautifully secluded with stunning views. Chickens, pigs, cats and a dog greeted us. Comfy sofa and blankets provided, easy to use TV, comfy beds and some board games to spare :)

Beautifully decorated, well-equipped cottage, which was warm and cozy. Surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque countryside. Comfortable beds, clean as a pin. Photos do not it justice. Rachael and Mark were very welcoming and friendly. Left us delicious welcome cakes, fresh eggs from their hens, bottled water, milk, tea and coffee. Loved the animals, the Cockerells are full of character, made us laugh. My daughter loved the 3 Trotters, the kittens and Bonny their puppy!
