Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

It was a beautiful cottage feel, the extra space in the summer house was fantastic, it was so clean and perfectly decorated. The garden is beautiful and the birds singing was a wonderful to listen to with a morning coffee.

United KingdomMy only real issue is a personal one but i found the mattress far too soft which might not be an issue for other users.

United KingdomA little bit cramped when it's too cold to use the outside space
A very nice room with comfortable bed. The outside space would be lovely in summer. Beth was friendly and helpful. Fresh milk in the fridge was much appreciated. Walking distance pubs for meals and cafes for breakfast (but check cafe opening times - too late for early breakfast!)

United KingdomThe WiFi was a touch slow, but I suspect that was the rural nature of the area, but I still managed to stream some live TV. it was fine for general work, emails etc.
Such a warm welcome from Beth, spotlessly clean, and a cosy room. Quiet spot, which suited me well and close to my client for the next day.

United KingdomThis is very picky but would prefer slightly larger towels .. but then my husband is 6’ 4 and always moans about towel sizes 😊
Whilst bijou it was beautifully converted and tastefully furnished.. loved it . A decent shower, comfortable bed (although slatted base so a little noisy when you moved) lovely little outhouse/bar with a comfy sofa and outside seating (although weather not great so didn’t use). Beth was absolutely delightful, friendly and welcoming and went the extra mile (literally) for us, could not have asked for a better host. When visiting friends again in the area, we will definitely be staying here.

United KingdomNothing it was perfect in every way .
This property is a very high standard and is absolutely stunning and the attention to detail is beautiful . It’s so very quiet, quaint and enchanting. It’s a little hidden haven. It very private and has a separate little bar area with seating that is a lovely touch and also a sitting area on a large private patio area at the rear . It also has two double patio doors that open out from the room onto the patio area . It has everything and more you could want and my partner and i absolutely loved it. There is lots of places to eat near by also pubs, restaurants and little cafes.. The owner was so lovely and welcoming and we felt utterly at peace and chilled from the moment we arrived . Nothing was to much trouble and we felt very at home. I can honestly say it’s one of the best stays we’ve had by far and we regularly take little breaks . Such value money for all you get with this stay. It was so clean and had everything you would require . I can honestly find not one fault . Thank you so much for an amazing stay . And we’ll done for making such a wonderful little haven .
