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.).

AustraliaHugh and Sarah gave us a very warm welcome and it felt like home away from home. Peaceful surroundings, comfy bed, great selection for breakfast plus delicious home made sausage rolls and cake to take with us for morning tea on our departure. Hugh and Sarah also helped us plan some of our trip ahead! We would have loved to spend a bit more time there....highly recommended 😀 👌

United KingdomLiterally nothing - everything exceeded our expectations
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Withy Farm. We are a family with an 8 and a 15 year old and they were in heaven. The 8 year old adored feeding and spending time with the farm animals and the dogs, and playing with Hugh and Sarah’s lovely grandson. We loved meeting all the animals (chicken, pigs, cats, dogs, pony, geese, goats and sheep!) and the stunning country walk with the dogs. Hugh and Sarah were the most incredible hosts - thinking of everything and going out of their way to help us at every turn. They were both brilliant with the kids, and we really enjoyed just spending time with them - drinking tea annd eating home-baked cake. Their home is spacious, cosy and inviting and they made us feel like part of the family. Bedrooms were warm and comfy, breakfast was a fabulous spread, and we were all genuinely sad to leave. We can’t recommend it more highly!

UKWe stumbled across Withy Farm looking for a quiet place to stay for a night on the English south coast. At first we were skeptical because it wasn't on the coast at all, but the charm convinced us to book there. What a hit!!! S. and H. are such great hosts and such lovely people that we immediately thought we were staying with friends. Feel like home! Oh thank you! In the evening we had nice conversations and then went to bed blissfully. The next morning there was plenty and variety to eat, much of it from our own production. Yes, and then there were the pigs, the goats, the geese, the chickens, the cats and the dogs. Cuddling, scratching, stroking without end. Thank you for letting us share a brief moment with you!!

What a special place. We felt very lucky to have found Withy Farm and been invited to share Hugh + Sarah’s home. Location is wonderful, down a quiet lane, surrounded by orchards. Our hosts treated us like extended family. Our room and ensuite shower were excellent. Breakfast was very good and Sarah made gluten free croissants, as well as offering a full range of other gluten free cereals. We were welcomed with fresh cakes and banana bread. We were only there for one night, but hope we have made friends for life.

The location and the hosts. Location was brilliant for us as we were attending a wedding five minutes down the road. Its also in the middle of the gorgeous Kent countryside. The hosts were super helpful and went above and beyond for us during our stay. We also had a very tasty breakfast, including one of the best homemade banana bread we’ve ever had!
