Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

GermanyI stayed at his lovely apartment to attend the British GP and it was the perfect accommodation! The bus stop was within walking distance and it was just a 15min bus ride to Silverstone. The host is super friendly and helpful. She even provided a litter tray and cat litter (I was traveling with my two cats). Thank you very much. We'll come again!

United KingdomLack of designated parking. We used the Richmond Rd car park as it’s 24hrs free parking but just a bit of a walk in the dark so not ideal.
Lovely property, nicely decorated and the owners left some nice touches for us and the dog. Very thoughtful of them. Comfortable bed. Great location for local amenities including great restaurants and bars. The water meadows is right across the road so perfect for walking the dog. Towcester is also a great location for getting around the wider area as it’s on the A5. You can be in Milton Keynes in 20 mins and Bicester village for shopping in 25 mins.

United KingdomParking was very tight but there was free on street parking very close so this wasn't an issue. The kitchen is quite small, which means the table would be quite difficult for two people to eat at but it is great if you want to eat out in Towcester as it is so central.
Very central, beautifully presented with everything you needed and had been decorated recently. Great for going out in the local area and super convenient for going out in the evening. Would visit again.

United KingdomNot as big as expected, but was ok for 2 adults and 3 dogs for 4 days. Bin was full of maggots, but to be fair to the vendor they sorted this immediately. Neighbours are a complete nightmare, moaning about parking in their spaces even though it's all on a first come, first served basis. And if you smoke, don't put your cigarette ends in the bin but leave them at the backdoor of the cafe which backs onto the courtyard because that's ok apparently.....
Lovely space which is very comfy overall despite the hot weather. Certainly ideal for a couple and nobody else as the space available is limited. Plenty of amenities close by including a great park/open space which is very rare to see these days

United KingdomParking. Owner said first come first served. But it was parking wars. We ended up moving our car as we felt very uncomfortable parking at the property. The owner should be more honest about the parking. It isn't first come first served and the owner has been frequently complained about concerning parking. On the plus side we were told we were the most considerate parkers the property has seen.
