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.).

Lovely quaint cottage. Clean, well equipped, easy check in. Space to park. We didn't use the log burner but I can imagine how lovely and cosy it would have been to sit by the fire for the evening.

United KingdomRosie and Stuart made everything possible and beyond for us to enjoy or stay. The location is superb close to lakes above the farm and spectacular views as well exploring the Roaches. We enjoyed seeing the farms cows and some babies. The 4 dogs and 3 cats really added to our fabulous experience. There was also a cute pub just a few minutes walk from the farm. Perfect location and host. Thank you guys

United KingdomThe only point worth raising was that (due to the property being on a farm) there was quite a bit of noise from the cows and dogs! It wasn’t a huge issue and possibly only recognised as we slept with the windows open, but worth a mention!
The old stable was perfect for us! The location was great, it was extremely well equipped and the hosts were very friendly. We were even provided with logs and firelighters to use the log burner which was very cosy. Beds really comfortable and the house was so clean and tidy! Really enjoyed our stay, felt right at home and wished we could have stayed longer.

United KingdomThe only very very minor thing is the tin on the bathroom wall, such a cute decor but hit my head on the bottom handle spitting my toothpaste out. Could also just be me...
Great location for exploring the roaches, Leek isn't too far either. Farm easy to find, hosts sent clear messages beforehand. Gorgeous dogs roaming on site, saying hello and coming for a pet, was lovely to see them playing. House was very clean and welcoming. It's a little chilly inside, but we didn't feel the need for the log fire, just a jumper. The bed was also very warm, I personally don't enjoy memory foam mattresses so that was my only complaint, still slept well!

United KingdomNothing, everything that we needed was a phone call or text away so there were no issues at all
I absolutely loved the rural setting, the house was so cosy with the log fire and it felt like a proper switch off holiday. The house has everything you need, we cooked and ordered a takeaway. The farm is easy to find, you feel safe surrounded by gorgeous land. The owners are really kind and anything you need they are happy to help very speedily! Plus my doggos loved it!
