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...).

A beautiful apartment set in lovely grounds. The apartment is nicely decorated, spacious, comfortable, clean and has everything you need. It was perfect for walking to the racecourse, where I was working, and walking distance from town with its brewery, pubs and restaurants. It is quiet too. The owners were communicative and helpful.

United KingdomIf I have to be really picky, the mirror in the bedroom was a little far from plug sockets to dry hair but honestly it wasn’t too big a problem. ☺️
Absolutely everything was perfect, the owners had thought of everything too, right down to the complimentary items in the fridge, so thoughtful and homely.

We loved our stay at Woodleighton Cottages. The owners kindly upgraded our stay from The Hayloft to The Grooms. Check in was easy and we were greeted with an array of thoughtful extras, such as bread, milk, biscuits, croissants, wine, beer and chocolates, as well as ample supplies of tea, coffee and other kitchen essentials - all very much appreciated. The owners have not skimped on anything. The accommodation is finished and furnished to a high standard with the luxury touches of a hotel (bathrobes, toiletries, flowers in the room) but the convenience and comfort of home. The bed is extra large and comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the underfloor heating keeps the place cosy. The setting is peaceful in well maintained gardens, yet within easy walking distance of the town. The hosts were very helpful and provided useful information and recommendations of places to eat. It was good to have on site parking too. A perfect stay - would highly recommend!

United KingdomOdd humming noise from locked cupboard in bedroom - was a bit worried this would prevent us sleeping but fortunately it stopped at some point during the evening.
Lovely clean cottage, bed very comfortable, great facilities, lots of little "extras". We specifically choose this cottage as we wanted a kitchen area.

United KingdomWhat's not to like! Definetly a 5* property. The snow the morning after got us on the Christmas spirit. The kids absolutely loved staying here. Great value for money, very private and such a beautiful setting. Will definitely return. Clean, plenty of amenities and the added touch of children's books and games, there's nothing that hasn't been thought of.

SwitzerlandNothing it was all awesome
We absolutely loved our stay at Woodleighton Cottages. Before we had even arrived, Rachel the owner had left us really clear instructions on how to get there, the local restaurants that were worth visiting & what times we could check in/ out. Her emails/texts were clear and concise & when we arrived, we were touched to find complimentary wine, chocolates water & hot drinks waiting for us in the cottage just as promised in her communication. After a long day at Alton Towers in the pouring rain, it would be fair to say that the luxury of this sweet cottage with underfloor heating & hot chocolate really soothed the soul of these two weary travellers/thrill seekers. Our cottage, the coach house, was lovely. Clean & homely with everything you could want for a short break - well appointed & a huge comfy bed. But its really Rachel, the owner, who sets this property apart. Clear communication with fantastic pre and post stay advice & tips.... what can I say? Customer service they way it should always be done. Myself and my husband will definitely look to return one day - thank you for a great stay

United KingdomThe only downside, and it certainly didn't affect me, is that there is a steep and windy staircase to negotiate inside the property. For me, it added to the charm.
Fantastic cottage in an idyllic location. Kitchen facilities were perfect. It just feels such a comfortable place to be.
