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!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. We were served a cup of tea and homemade shortbread on arrival — the shortbread was absolutely delicious! I had originally booked Room 7 for two nights as a surprise for my partner’s 40th birthday, but we ended up booking an extra night in Room 12. When we checked into Room 7, there was a birthday card from the Hawksmoor team and a selection of little chocolates for my partner — such a thoughtful touch that made the trip feel even more special. The rooms themselves were spotless, each with a lovely bathroom and very comfortable bed. I especially loved the L’Occitane products provided in the rooms — they smelt divine. I’d definitely recommend booking Room 12, as the balcony offers a lovely view of the stream in the woodlands behind the guest house. Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious — everything was spot on, especially the fried bread! Helen was serving breakfast each day of our stay, and she was brilliant. She has such a great sense of humour, and we really appreciated her genuine hospitality. She truly made us feel welcome and well looked after. Thank you, Helen, and thank you to the rest of the team for such a wonderful stay!

United KingdomGuest house was Wonderful !!!
When we arrived Pamela met us and made us a pot of tea and homemade shortbread She was kind, friendly helpful and went the extra mile . An asset to the guest house. The room was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space. It was my husbands retirement and the owner had left us a bottle of wine and chocolates. So kind. There were plenty of towels. Two towels had been made into swans on the bed and were sprinkled in rose petals. It was lovely. Breakfast was 10 out of 10. The cook was very good. Plenty of free parking.
