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.).

Lovely farm setting. Comfortable and very well equipped cottage. Great location for Alton Towers and other nearby attractions. WiFi brilliant with access to Netflix and other streaming services. Our girls absolutely loved the friendly dogs who greeted us on arrival. We also enjoyed seeing the cows.

United KingdomAbsolutely loved everything about this cottage! Rosie, Stu and family were so welcoming, it was a real pleasure talking to them. The location was superb, just minutes from The Roaches (for walking) and 10 min to the centre of Leek (for shopping) - we found the whole area so relaxing and the people very friendly! Plenty of room for parking and excellent walks through farmland, it was great being on a working farm, and those three retrievers, there could be a whole review on them! The cottage was amazing, really large, and every comfort provided for and so well equipped. It was lovely sat out in the evening and our own dog was very relaxed throughout our stay. Many thanks.

United KingdomThere was no WiFi and having two pre-teens this was like the end of the world, however we did have games with us, which meant family time together and not with their heads in the phones.

LuxembourgThe heating worked in a way I had not seen since the 70‘s. It is OK if you are fine with coal or wood burning heating.
Clean and comfortable rooms in spectacular countryside. Stu and Rosie were helpful and always available for questions. Rosie had prepared a great breakfast/welcome pack.

United KingdomArrived and unloaded in dark because no light left on. Only one bath towel and one hand towel for 2 people. Needs additional heaters in bedrooms as no heat unless main fire is lit. Log burner needs a service as burns far too hot or not at all. We are familiar with log burners. Microwave and teapot would be useful. We stayed master bedroom which would benefit from a bedside light on both sides. Master bed should have dressing table. Bedding not good enough quality for the price. Would make a better experience to have a few books, maps, games in all the empty drawers. 10am checkout a bit early. Most are 11am. We enjoyed our stay but feel that a little attention to detail would have made it so much better.
Clean, tastefully decorated and furnished, fire lovely, fantastic beams especially master bedroom and landing
