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.
I had a very friendly greeting on arrival and was shown to my room which impressed from the outset. It was furnished to a high standard, immaculately clean, very comfortable bed and good shower. Warmly welcomed at breakfast and the food was the highest quality I've had in any accommodation, bar none. Thoroughly recommended.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we did not like.
The breakfast we choice was a full English and was very good (best I ever tasted) with fresh bread and fresh fruits including strawberries and the room was fully equipped with water cooker, TV and a fridge and very comfortable big bed and several pillow options. There was a magnetron oven outside the door entry in case needed. Plenty free car park. The Owners were kindly waiting until 10.30 pm when we arrived from Harwich Stenaline ferry due to customs check delays at the port we arrived 1 hrs late. And the owners message us their phone number prior our arrival and did ask our expected arrival time. All well communicated. Very friendly owners and clean rooms (like new inside).

United KingdomNothing could be improved.
It was all exceptional. The room was clean, comfortable & well-appointed, with the mini fridge & access to microwave welcome bonuses. Breakfast was cooked well, with ample choice & served in conservatory with wonderful views of countryside. The location was easily accessible, although was peaceful & delightfully rural. The hosts were welcoming, friendly & helpful, but not intrusive. I liked having my own front door to my accommodation.

United KingdomA spacious, clean, warm and quiet room with helpful information about local places to eat etc. A great breakfast and a lovely, go-the-extra-mile response when I mentioned that I’d lost some makeup (it had rolled under the wardrobe). I’d tried reaching it with my hand but couldn’t quite reach. Before I knew it, the wardrobe had been moved and the makeup retrieved, along with my engagement ring, which I hadn’t even noticed had come off! Thank goodness Roger and Jane care so much about their guests. They prevented what would have been a very upsetting loss/potential divorce. Thank you so much.
