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.).

BelgiumLovely fresh and elaborate breakfast. Vegetarian friendly! And the owner is open to make adjustments to existing dishes to make it vegetarian when asked. Host is super friendly and kind, we felt right at home. The garden is adorable and you can observe lots of critters like grey squirrels and birds.

United KingdomI would prefer cooked breakfast instead of continental, but this is my personal preference. I was a bit surprised that the bottle of mineral water that was is a room is charged for. Nowadays you normally find a complimentary bottle of water in a room, little thing but just makes you feel more welcome.
Very spacious and nice room.

United KingdomThere was nothing to fault.
The accommodation far exceeded my expectations. The self contained annexe offers 2 separate bedrooms, very comfortable beds, lounge furniture & dining area overlooking pretty & private gardens. Everything is new & spotlessly clean with great attention to detail. The breakfast was delicious & offered an extensive choice. Linda is a lovely host.

United KingdomI'm a bit fanatical about my morning porridge Thought the price was steep bearing in mind other accommodation I've been booking this year. But it was great and fulfilled a need.
Interesting selection for breakfast, though no cooked or porridge. The smashed avocado was great and the croissants were biggest and tastiest we'd seen for a while. The room was beautifully quiet and spacious with a lovely aspect, even in the slightly damp conditions. Gave the idea preparation as I was leading a funeral that morning We arrived late in the evening but still received an excellent welcome

United StatesThings that could have been better- 1. We prefer going to a breakfast room but if you prefer in room service then this place is for you. Lynda served it herself (with a smile!) 2. When we read cooked breakfast we thought it was things like eggs and bacon. (A full British breakfast) It wasn’t. We had cereal and toast. They had croissants and pancakes too so I think the “cooked” was the pancakes. 3. Having a breakfast table and chairs in the room took up space but there were only two of us so it was ok.
Positives - 1. Parking right outside our room. 2. Lynda met us on arrival and is super friendly. Knowledgeable about the areas and gave us a lot of good information. Easy check in. 3. Room is nice. There isn’t a breakfast room. Breakfast is brought to your room. Lynda leaves good tea/coffee makings and snacks. Nice bathroom and shower. 4. Buses run nearby to get to the city. It’s about a 25 mins ride to get there.
