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 KingdomThe owner is very friendly, welcoming and kindly gifted us a free bottle of wine to compensate for the road diversions that were in place to the property at the time of our travel. It was very well located for our needs (we were selling at The Wealden Summer Fair) and an easy walk into Hawkhurst to the fabulous Eight Bells Pub. It was clean, comfortable and perfect for our stay.

United KingdomIn this nicely furnished studio, there's no room for armchairs or sofa. There's no hot water from.any tap ( shower is perfectly fine), so that makes for a less comfortable stay in an ideal world.
Very lovely little studio nicely decorated, clean and smelling beautiful. Excellent toiletries. Well positioned in Hawkhurst and quiet. Nice little garden and privacy. Good walks on your doorstep and a decent pub nearby. Lovely host

United KingdomThe shower room could have been a bit bigger, bit tight to move around and a hot water tap would have been good in the kitchen area.
The location and the enclosed garden were great with the dog, very relaxing. The owner is really friendly and the price for the accommodation was good. Good for a short stay. Nice touches with the coffee, tea bags and milk.

United StatesAccess was a little tight but you can't blame the English roads! Hot water was limited to the shower or the water kettle but it did not stop me from doing all that i needed. Smallest sink i have ever seen in the bathroom but large enough for washing your hands and brushing teeth.
The studio was very comfortable and quiet. I was not felling well and was in the perfect place to recuperate.
