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...).

United States of AmericaNo negatives. Loved our perfect stay.
Quiet and so peaceful. Huge gardens feel like you are staying in paradise. Extremely well equipped with luxurious feel. Very short walk to shopping area and pubs. Off street parking outside the cottage. Hosts were fantastic, friendly, available but left us on our own to relax and left various items to get us going. Beautiful areas to walk. Quick drive to many small and large towns with gorgeous scenery along the way.

United KingdomEverything was wonderful; I can't find a single thing to criticise.
We rented this lovely cottage for two nights , and it was one of the most delightful experiences we've ever had. The setting boasts stunning landscapes with a large, well-maintained garden and a canal with a waterfall, providing a soothing, continuous background sound of flowing water. Mornings were a treat, waking up to the melodious songs of birds. The host and owner Mr.Shane, were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring our stay was pleasant and comfortable. I was thoroughly impressed by their hospitality. The cottage's location is perfect, just a short walk from the town center, making it easy to access shops, restaurants, and pubs. We would definitely book this place again in the near future for more of the same pleasant experience.

United KingdomThe property was perfect!! The host was very friendly and welcoming. We feel the facilities were above and beyond what we expected. The garden was a fantastic view and perfect little nook inside to watch the ducks while having a morning coffee. We were unlucky with the weather so were unable to make full use so we will return in better weather as we all wanted to enjoy the garden more. Very comfortable sleep and just a pleasure to be in the cottage.

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
The owner Shane met us on arrival and showed us details around the property for use of appliances, spaces, garden etc. Friendly and helpful at all times. Especially accommodating for my 87 year old mother, offering access to a ground floor toilet. The property has excellent kitchen and shower room with high quality appliances, plenty of space in the kitchen. Large living room space with lovely outdoor decking area to sit and enjoy the stunning garden view. We didn't barbecue but there is one available. I recommend staying at weir cottage for great facilities, quiet, beautiful garden and close to shops, pubs etc. Good base to explore the new forest. Would stay again.

United KingdomWe were happy with everything.
Our time at Weir Cottage went too quickly! We greatly enjoyed our 2 nights at this lovely spot - an ideal combination of a classic thatched cottage exterior with a beautifully appointed contemporary interior. Shane's attention to detail and excellent liaison were really appreciated - everything we needed for a relaxing stay was provided. And then there was the GARDEN! - a real oasis of peace! Our thanks to Shane (and to Daisy) for our short but memorable stay.

United KingdomDo not have any negatives
The property is absolutely charming- a thatched cottage in the beautiful New Forest which has been totally renovated to modern standards. It is semi detached and there is a small additional cottage on the site within the small town. It is in 2 acres of ground which you have access to with a stream etc running through the grounds. There is plenty of garden space to quietly enjoy between the 3 properties and walking into town is right on your doorstep. It is so tranquil but has the advantage of shops, restaurants etc immediately adjacent. The finishes to the cottage are to the highest modern standards and design throughout but blended to being in a thatched cottage. No creaking floors or crafty windows and the cleanliness and facilities were superb.
