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 perfect location to base our stay. The property had almost everything we needed and the owners left us alone

United KingdomThis only issue is the front door requires a bit of a force to properly shut, but the host came out and was an utter delight as she showed us the trick to getting it to work.
There is very little to even think about disliking about this property. It's a small but very cute little house, perfect for a couple with a fantastic kitchen, living area, and bathroom. The bed is very comfortable, there is plenty of space, and the free parking is a huge bonus. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring the local area but you will need a car as public transport is not readily available. It's about a ten minute drive from Cheddar, about thirty mintues to Weston-Super-Mare and to Wells, and the nearby pubs are amazing with excellent food and a fine selection of drinks.

United KingdomNothing. Really enjoyed our stay in a small village setting.
Specially chosen, location wise, for travelling around Somerset and revisiting Axbridge. Pub at end of village does superb food. Book to avoid disappointment. Quiet location. Good wifi. Parking beside property. Attentive host. Good facilities and use of outside space for sitting out. Secure room for bikes etc. Good information pack for visitors.

United KingdomIf you're looking for a cosy place to stay with easy access to all the Mendip Hills have to offer, then look no further! The cottage is ideally located, providing access to hiking trails literally from the doorstep. Just several minutes drive away is Cheddar Gorge and, slightly beyond that, you can quickly get to the many other beautiful nature reserves, forests and hills. The accommodation is tucked away from any busy roads so you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. We visited when it was fairly cold, so were very grateful for the log burner. In addition to this, the cottage is well-equipped for a self-catering holiday, and everything was spotlessly clean. Our dog was very welcome at no additional cost and, although we only briefly saw the hosts, we had plenty of helpful communication before our stay and all our needs were met.

United KingdomA little cold on arrival but heaters provided and once fire going very warm! The door lock can be difficult but Melanie does explain that in the info book - takes a few goes to master it!
Spacious and quiet, felt like home, beautiful log fire (with wood provided), big bedroom and great location to explore the area. Melanie was very helpful with suggestions on what to do and where to eat for my partners birthday. Great that the new inn is only a walk away and does good food. Lots of cupboard space for food in the kitchen and for clothes in the bedroom and lovely, thoughtful touches throughout. We didn't want to go home!

Clean, comfortable with everything you need for a short break. Info provided by the owners also really helpful. Pub with decent food in the village (New Inn) just a short walk (take a torch!). We used it as a base to explore local areas including Cheddar, Glastonbury etc and lovely local walks too.

United KingdomThe Story Cottage was everything we needed for a total break for a couple of weeks. Such a super little cottage with everything thought of and very well organised. It was a pleasure to come back to it each day after exploring the area. A great place to base yourself with so much to see and do on your doorstep and the hosts were very friendly, kind and helpful with suggestions on routes for runs, walks and cycles. We had a fabulous stay and highly recommend.
