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.).

Hong KongA bit far from the town centre but always can take a bus.
The breakfast room was opened for 24 hours and there are tea and coffee available and SNACKS. The owner is very very helpful. He let me do the laundry.

United KingdomI was attending a weekend event in Lincoln and needed overnight accommodation so I chose Creston Villa based on the reviews. I arrived later in the evening than planned but Iain was there to give me a warm welcome and explain the guest facilities. I was blown away by the stunning character of the house and my bedroom and the attention to detail to ensure I had everything I needed for my short stay. My room was clean and beautifully presented, the bed very comfortable, free wifi , tv, kettle, electric shower and so many little extras to make you feel like a valued guest. I couldn't take advantage of breakfast as I had a very early checkout but Anna provided me with a bag of breakfast goodies to take with me. I wouldn't hesitate to come back next time I have a stop-over in Lincoln.

United KingdomNothing not to like!
Wow what a find! Anna and Iain have created a truly wonderful oasis of character, charm, creativity and comfort at Creston Villa. We loved all the quirky objects in our room, in the house and garden. Such thoughtful touches throughout including homemade cakes and cookies-free to guests-an honesty bar if you wanted a drink in the evening- and a very generous and delicious continental breakfast including yoghurt, fresh fruit, cold meats, cheese, loads of toast etc. They were the perfect hosts and could not have been more welcoming. They also let us check in at a time that was good for us. Location was perfect, a 30 minute walk up to the Cathedral and Castle which we were there to see. In the evening we walked back to the Villa along the river. Could not have asked for more or better and will definitely stay here again when we return to explore Lincoln further.

United KingdomNo reserved parking which is not a huge problem but something to keep in mind. A good distance to walk to get food but not too bad if you're visiting the city centre anyway.
Very nice proprietors, Good size room. Very accommodating.
