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 KingdomOverall it was great. The corridors and some communal areas could do with a little updating and sprucing up.
I loved the garden and pool - which was clean and ready to dive into. The room was spacious and clean and the location was convenient safe and quiet. A very decent hot breakfast was served by the friendly team too.

ZimbabweAbsolutely loved everything about it.
Cotswold Guest House exceeded all my expectations, delivering an exceptional experience that truly felt like a steal for the price paid. From the moment I arrived, the staff's warmth and flexibility made me feel right at home, even with a late check-in. The pristine rooms exuded elegance and were stocked with thoughtful refreshments, while the lightning-fast WiFi ensured seamless connectivity. The breathtaking views only added to the charm. The breakfast spread, both buffet and made-to-order, was simply divine—I couldn't keep up lol! The sparkling-clean swimming pool was an added delight, and the secure neighborhood provided peace of mind. Special shoutout to George, whose assistance navigating the area made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, an absolutely amazing experience—highly recommend

South AfricaThere was an issue with the wifi throughout our stay with some network issues but I put that down to the hectic weather experienced during our stay.
This was our second time staying at this location, we were very impressed at the noted changes made to the place. There was no interruptions with the electricity at all as they have upgraded to solar panels and invertors. The additional security measures also gave us peace of mind. The amazing services received from Gail is always a refreshing welcome.

South AfricaAlthioug I booked after looking at the web site and really liked the comfort of the rooms. on our arrival we were shown to another property over the road from the main house. I was dissapointed as the room was not as given on the web site. The television was small and there was only a shower and no bath. The room was aslo extremely cold. I booked and paid in full on 5 April, I am sure that the room that I was in was a lower rate that the room that I expected to go to and thuus paid for. A reply from the owner will be appreciated
The firndliness of the staff, Especially Gail!!
