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.).

An efficient use of space to incorporate a toaster, fridge and en-suite into the living area and a nice touch providing a bottle of fresh milk on arrival. Tommy and Sarah were friendly hosts.

United KingdomThe shower was rather low at its highest setting, anyone over 6ft wouldn’t have been able to fit under it. Needed a tea towel really to dry cups etc after use. The lack of a window to open.
Lovely large room. Facilities for making tea and coffee which was provided together with a milk frothier which I’ve never had before. Fresh milk provided. Also as breakfast was not included there was a fridge, toaster and cutlery, plates etc. together with washing up liquid.

United KingdomWe stayed in the mint room for two nights as we were doing the Croyde - Braunton and Braunton to Barnstaple leg of the SWCP. Very convenient for this as the path ended/ started just around the corner from the property. Very short walk to the town centre with some great restaurants and cafes. Bus links to Croyde and Barnstaple also very good to start and end the path. Room is at the back of the owner’s house and we were given instructions to let ourselves in on arrival. The room was warm and the bed was comfortable. The little kitchen station was useful for breakfast toast and coffee and a quick sandwich after the walk. There was plenty of space and the bathroom was nice but there were no toiletries- not a problem but there was a half used bar of soap which was a bit odd - maybe the cleaner had missed throwing it away. Met both Sarah and Tommy and they were very friendly and full of local knowledge. Another helpful aspect was an outside shower which we used to wash the mud off our boots following the walk.
