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 StatesLarge room and bath. Very comfortable. Continental breakfast was very good. Ample parking. Hosts were available to answer requests or questions, but never intrusive. During stay, sold out, but room was quiet.

The hosts are absolutely amazing and so thoughtful! I am vegan and most of the time I have to always remind people that, but these guys were the most caring hosts I’ve come across and even the biscuits in my room were vegan. The breakfast was great with a few vegan options for me. The whole stay was absolutely brilliant! Also electric charger available, which makes it even more convenient.

United KingdomThe rain! 😊
We loved the large garden with its meadow area and beautiful views. Parking area has electric for cars. Inside the house is tastefully decorated. We arrived on a stormy day; Tim lit the fire for us in the evening and we enjoyed their beautiful sitting room. We were late arriving but this did not phase Helen or Tim. Nice people.

It was like an Oasis in the desert. We had been involved in a terrible road traffic accident and had no way of getting home. And not only was this property a safe haven the whole place was divine and decorated and furnished to an exquisite standard. Our hosts were beyond helpful in our time of need and let us stay until our onward journey was arranged. Tim and Helen were amazing- even giving us the itinerary of our journey home by train and refreshments for the journey. We truly found a couple of guardian angels that day. We will definitely return under better circumstances- THANK YOU from Sandra and Gary xxx

United KingdomHelen and Tim are great hosts. The vicarage is just up the road from Newtown and a nice pub nearby. The grounds were great and the rooms immaculate and finished really nice and with very comfortable beds. Wifi is good and there are smart tv`s in the rooms. There is charging for electric cars. The breakfast was amazing with lots of locally sourced different options. Stunning scenery all around. Our family group loved it and we will be looking forward to staying there again. thanks for a lovely stay.
