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.).

- The floor/ceiling windows meant that it was the best view we have ever had on a holiday. - The magic tricks at breakfast meant it was an unforgettable experience! - Lots of small, little touches that were really lovely (for example, bottles of wine/homemade carrot cake on arrival/the most friendliest cat!). - Despite it being a rural location, the internet was fantastic! - Lovely breakfast options.

PolandWe had a truly wonderful stay. The Cottage and the room are fanstastic and very comfortable. The room was spotless, spacious, and equipped with all amenities. The new bathroom with a jacuzzi and a balcony with a table and chairs were a nice addition. The hosts were so nice and really kind, we loved chatting with them during breakfast and when we were coming back from hikes. The Cottage is conveniently located close to Scarborough, Whitby, and North York Moors National Park - a perfect spot for everyone willing to explore the area and have a relaxing evening after a long day.

United KingdomI recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend break here, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the picturesque countryside views to the warm hospitality of the locals, Yorkshire offers a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. The cobbled streets and historic buildings transported me back in time, providing a glimpse into the region's rich literary history. Indulging in Yorkshire's culinary scene was a treat for the taste buds. From traditional pub fare to gourmet dining experiences, the local cuisine showcased the region's culinary prowess and dedication to using fresh, local ingredients. The Wood Cottage was cozy and inviting, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. The hospitality of the hosts added an extra layer of warmth to the experience. Overall, my weekend break in Yorkshire was a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion. I highly recommend this charming region to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the heart of the English countryside.

United KingdomHonestly there was nothing we didn't enjoy about our stay. The whole experience was fabulous. We will definitely return for another stay!
Such a beautiful place to stay, the cottage was clean, warm and welcoming. Gorgeous views from our room, the full length windows and the balcony were a lovely addition to an already pretty room. It was the perfect base for exploring the local area - we visited Dalby Forest and Scarborough, both were only a short drive away. Sandra and David couldn't do enough for us and were really accommodating when we had to be up and out early providing us with a breakfast outside of their usual hours.

The log burner was amazing. Even though it was on the grounds of the house, it still felt secluded. Waking up to ducks and hens trotting round the grounds on a morning was like something from an Enid Blyton storybook.

We stayed in the Wood Cottage chalet for 2 nights. Everything was perfect for our stay wish we could of stayed longer. Easy to find and excellent instructions provided by the owners on how to access the property. Good base for sightseeing. Sandra and David very welcoming. The welcome pack on arrival was lovely as was the offer of continental breakfast in the house or to be brought to the chalet, lovely choice of items and as we had booked the chalet which had a kitchen we didn't get to sample as we had come prepared. We loved watching the hens and the Indian runner ducks running around the garden. We definitely will book again and already thinking of our next trip.
