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.).

United StatesThe small shower in the upstairs bath-definitely was NOT an issue, though. We are just spoiled Americans with large baths in the States!
It is a cozy thatched cottage!!! It was centrally located in the vicinity of all of our travels. It is in a small village and convenient to be able to walk to coffee shops or to restaurants and grocery store nearby. There is even a castle right across the street with views from the window’s!! The owner is so thoughtful - the cottage has a wood stove for fires and came and filled it, then cleaned and vacuumed it for us so that we could use it again. There was also plenty of available wood which was replenished daily. We also frequented a local restaurant in the village Pier Head Bar and Restaurant. The owner, Michael, treated us like family, also, and always made sure we were well taken care of. The food was outstanding and the service impeccable!

GermanyUnfortunately, the great location and high comfort level have their price, but we would still come back anytime.
We (4 adults, 2 kids) stayed at the blue cottage for the second time already and immediately felt at home again. Except for a few minor kitchen items and some blankets, the house has everything one needs to feel comfortable. Fire wood, (dish)washing detergent and other helpful ammenities are provided.

United KingdomCoach tourists coming in the garden constantly and leaving the gate open. This became quite irritating: one group even tried to open the door of one of the cottages! Possibly more “No Entry” signs needed.
Spacious, comfortable, picturesque. Very well-equipped.

United StatesAmazing location in a quaint little town with a beautiful castle just across the road from the cottages. Very spacious, clean, and relaxing. Casual 10 minute walk to the local pubs and restaurants. Host met us and was very helpful, gave us lots of tips on where to go. Loved it! This would be an amazing place for a small family reunion or friend gathering if all three cottages were rented, because it has a large garden in back. Very beautiful! Castle has medieval banquets you can attend if you prebook too!
