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 KingdomNothing. Kay made sure every element of our stay was perfect
Zen Cottage was lovely in every way. Kay also looked after us, giving local advice and suggestions and going far beyond what we expected when we needed a little help with our trip. The bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was 5 star. She is a genuinely fantastic, interesting person and if you're lucky enough to find that Zen Cottage has a vacancy, you should take it before it gets snapped up by someone else.

GermanyEverything was perfect. We felt really at home. Best things were Kay's hospitality and her commitment. She personally guided us through the village, the area and its highlights, showed us not broadly known gems. In the morning, she accompanied us on the first mile of our hiking trip. So helpful and so lovely. Thank you so very much <3

United KingdomComfortable rooms in a quiet back street of Winchcombe. The host is exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Great location for Cotswold walking. The breakfast is brilliant with home baked granola and fruits. A short walk to the centre of town with good pubs and eating options.

Kay went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, and was extremely helpful and kind. I was staying for a wedding at the Castle, and she kindly arranged pick up and drop off - this was so helpful. The house is super clean, calm and comfortable. My bathroom was seperate to the room but this wasn’t a problem at all as I had it myself. It was also stocked with all necessary toiletries. The breakfast was great - the homemade sour dough was a lovely touch!

United KingdomKay was a really friendly kind and helpful host. She was very welcoming and her home is beautifully decorated, light and airy. The bed was sumptuous with lovely fresh white linen. I had my own bathroom and Kay provided a good selection of toiletries. The house is in a quiet cul de sac and I had far reaching views of the hills and also the sunrise from my window. Kay supplies a fantastic breakfast- continental style with a range of fruits from the garden and home made sour dough bread amongst a variety of other food. Kay is also a good conversationalist,is well travelled and has a good sense of humour and is knowledgeable of the area. She is also very family orientated so we had plenty to talk about. If I visit the area again I would have no hesitation in booking with Kay again.

Kay's hospitality was over and above B&B norms. Initially thought, oh, no TV in room, no rules etc as majority of B&B's these days but you soon realize that staying at Zen offers much much more, it is like staying with friends or family, a really really wonderful relaxing stay. lovely breakfast too. Thank you Kay, nothing, not a thing, was too much trouble, would definitely stay again.
