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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomNothing. Best stay.
Clean, comfortable and great location. Best 2 nights sleep for a while. Just outside of town, but easy walk to everything, even a short track through the forest to a great brew house. Had a small fridge, micro wave, kettle, all the crockery and cutlery needed. Super clean, new fixtures and fittings, lovely bathroom and shower and great outside space to relax. Parking was good, outfront or along the side of the buildings. Only 4 units so nice and quiet. Steve had lots of local knowledge for sightseeing, wine tasting, beaches and bars. Couldn't ask for anything more.

United KingdomThis place is superb. Only a 10 minute walk into town. Steve, the host, is a legend. Always on hand, we spoke to him every morning about our plan for each day. Steve was brilliant with recommendations but also checking tide times, wind direction and speed (sounds random but this can affect the coastal attractions). Trust me, it’s worth staying here just to get the daily run down from Steve.

AustraliaA bit of road traffic noise, but that cant really be helped due to the location
Great location at the start of town and next door to the pub. It had two beds in the room, which was perfect as it was a weekend away with my best friend to go and hike and then enjoy nice food/drinks in town.

United KingdomSteve was brilliant. We arrived fairly late after a drive from Perth and when our keypad didn't work, Steve met us to provide a key to use! Communication was great, there's loads of helpful bits in reception if you're there for a few days/need inspiration. Room was very clean, had amenities to do your washing up which was great. Location is spot on, 10 minutes walk into the town which makes for a quick stumble home after testing out the breweries/giniversity which are in walking distance. Sign out the front so you can easily see the turn in off the main road. Great stay, would recommend.

AustraliaThere is not much to not like, but a mini stove and sink would be perfect even though the dirty dishes are washed and replaced with clean ones.
This place is a hidden treasure. Situated in a quiet and shady area, just a walk away from main street. The beds are comfortable and the shower was great. The fridge and coffee making facilities were a great asset. Steve is the nicest bloke you'll ever meet.
