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 KingdomThe parking is a little bit tight but it's ok. At least it's off the road. 😊
The cottage is in a great location and is a really nice, comfy cottage. The beds are lovely as they are huge.

United KingdomThe jewel cottage... definitely a gem of a place! The furnishings make it a cosy home from home stay with all the facilities and more than you could need! The beds are amazing, super comfortable and a definite added bonus after a busy day exploring the surrounding areas. Parking off the road which was an added bonus. The communication from Jo was exceptional and very informative. Would definitely recommend 1000% staying here.

This was a lovely cottage really well turned out, accessible to everything with beautiful decor. I would recommend to anyone as a very good quality product. One single draw back being the step into the bathroom which requires better signage for the visually impaired. This is a credit to the owners at least 4.9 out of five. Well done.

It had everything we needed, was clean and very comfortable. It was very close to the town and therefore the train station (even if it was at the top of a huge hill!)

United Kingdomwould have been good to have information about buses from the centre would have been good to know in advance that it was a long steep climb from the station (particularly hard with suitcases!) some people would want warning about the steep staircases and that one (lovely) bedroom was in the "cellar" and two flights from the bathroom
very comfortable beds and bedding well equipped

United KingdomThe walk back up from the town is very steep. Just to be aware for anyone with mobility issues.
Compact, tastefully decorated and very clean. Beds were very, very comfortable (superking) and shower was powerful. Jo was very responsive. We had a fantastic stay and would thoroughly recommend Jewel Cottage.

United KingdomThe shower was powerful but alternated between extremes of hot and cold without warning. The fridge was very low - at floor level so that access was not easy. Unfortunately, there was a very noisy party in the pub extension at the back on the Saturday night.
Comfortable beds, beautifully equipped and furnished, lovely outdoor patio

United KingdomWe stayed in the bedroom in the cellar which was lovely and cosy, just a bit of a task in the night to go to the bathroom on the top floor. Stairs down to this bedroom are a little steep and not carpeted.
The property is in a great location, close to all shops which are at the bottom of the hill. The cottage was lovely and clean and very comfortable. It was very peaceful and quiet and had a good nights sleep. The owner is very accommodating and very kindly put up a banner for our arrival for my daughter’s birthday, thank you!

United KingdomThe inside of the property is perfect. Loved the decor and it was very welcoming when you entered. The only thing I would look at is the eating area outside. They have planters with dead flowers and that would’ve been perfect with bright coloured flowers in them. Also maybe some twinkling lights to put on at night for sitting out there.
