Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomCouldn't close the bathroom window. A set of good knives, a teapot and more deep bowls and wooden spoons / utensils would complete the lovely kitchen and make the most of having the dishwasher. We couldn't make the ensuite shower get hot enough - tried reducing the flow - we used the huge rolltop bath at night, which was accidentally romantic!
Warm and cosy, very spacious, clean and welcoming. No overpowering cleaning smells, just very clean. Great private garden with big table and BBQ. Separate shared laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers - brilliant had changeover laundry not occupied it, I'm sure we could have used it if we had asked. The huge spacious entry room was great for shedding wet and mucky outdoor gear (November, yellow weather warnings). All 3 bedrooms looked lovely, a single with a door to garden that's not in the photos, and twin off the lounge. Really comfortable double. Outside: Buzzards by day, owls by night and sooo quiet I could hear my own pulse while watching the stars from the garden table. We'd love to stay again, especially in better weather to enjoy the outside space and meet the animals.

United KingdomWe would have like some UHT milk and tea/coffee sachets or something so we could have had a cuppa when we arrived instead of dumping our stuff and heading straight back out to the shop after a 3+ hour journey. It was ok thought there was a Tesco not far away. The road leading to the farm had lots of potholes
It is such a beautiful cottage. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and my friend and I had a double bed each which was appreciated, we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. There is lots of space and the outdoor area is lovely with chickens and sheep around.

The cottage was beautiful as was the surrounding countryside. Plenty to do nearby. The accommodation was lovely and warm despite being chilly outside (February ). The cottage had everything we needed and more. Lots of lovely touches. The photos do not do the cottage justice. Thank you and we will be back.

United KingdomThe Honey House is beautiful and larger than we expected from the pictures. The location is very quiet and perfect for watching the dark skys. We came with an 8 and 10 yr old and found the house well stocked with books and games that they were reluctant to put down to go outside! Arrival was simple, no fuss and the house was clean and warm. Enjoy your visit!

United KingdomThe property was generally clean but I had to clean around the rear external of the shower room loo pan and the floor below it. A scheduled gas service call in the morning of the last day meant the boiler had been switched off and there wasn't hot water for showers and washing up. There may have been a mix up between Booking.com and the hostess about what time we were expected to leave.
Remote location, quietness, great property for up to 5 adults and good for a family, good laundry facility, great entrance for boots and bikes, friendly and responsive hostess, spacious rooms, good kitchen provision, comfortable living area, separate dining area, comfortable beds.
