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 KingdomMy husband had a bad fall at 10:30pm leaving the property to get to the golf club carpark when visiting my sons . The outside lighting was non existent it was pitch black , he fell on the kerb surrounding the carpark which was not visible once the clubhouse shut suggest this information could be included in the property information
Very suitable for family needs worked well sleeping arrangements for adults and children . They enjoyed location on the golf course with the pub and driving range . Kitchen facilities were good

South AfricaMy only gripe was the accessibility issue - otherwise, the property was lovely.
Self check-in was straightforward. The property is immaculate - recently refurbished, in very good condition. The one important thing to note is that the whole property is on the first floor accessed by a spiral staircase so not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The kitchen facilities are very good with a dishwasher, induction stove and oven. Dishwasher tabs, washing machine tabs and coffee pods were provided. The mattress in the family bedroom was too soft for my liking but that is obviously subjective! The kids liked the bed that looks a bit like a ships cabin and the mattress was long enough for my 5ft 4 - 14 year old. There is aircon in 2 of the bedrooms and fans in the 3rd. All rooms have an ensuite with showers - there is a bath and bidet in the middle bathroom.

United StatesWe were a little surprised that the booking details asked us at check out to 1) strip all the used beds, 2) put everything back in its place and 3) to bag up and take out all rubbish we had generated. We would have left the apartment in a clean state but we paid a cleaning fee we felt that was paid to do the above tasks.
The property was perfect for myself and four friends; for our ‘girlie’ weekend. The apartment was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor balcony was very much welcomed and used. The location of the apartment on the golf course gave a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of life. We walked (8 mile round trip) to Moors Valley via the Castleman Trail. There is a restaurant on the golf club site and Sainsburys is a 5 minute drive away. My husband came and played 18 holes at the ‘guest rate’ which he really appreciated. The sofa area & dining table was large enough to accomodate us all and the beds were really comfy. Everything was perfect!

Beautiful property. Very well equipped and lots of space (felt really comfortable for 6 adults and 2 kids). Great location being right on the golf course, with lovely views and went to the club house for dinner, drinks and morning coffee. The kids loved it!! Awesome "den" space with lots of toys and the travel cot provided for our baby saved us packing our own. Fantastic stay.

United KingdomThe only recommendation would be black out curtains over the fitted blinds, as being the summer, the early sun did play a little havoc with a lie in … however, we got to enjoy full days so not too bad!
From the very beginning Hannah was so lovely, answering all queries and her communication has been amazing. The Castleman was happy to accommodate earlier / later check out if needed for us too! On arrival the office was really helpful, showing us to the key safe and ever so friendly, advising what was happening onsite, where to go etc The apartment is totally stunning and we were definitely not disappointed; like a tardis with rooms, snugs, en suites appearing all over, with two extra fold up singles to provide extra sleeping if needed and the terrace a great space for an arrival vino! The apartment was equipped with everything you would need. I was so impressed with the gorgeous dinner table, laid ready to use and looked like a show house… Duvets dreamy, beds comfy, spacious rooms and decorated to a beautiful and modern appearance - great balcony to the main bedroom too with views over the course, south facing and was able to enjoy a nice coffee and chill with the doors open before getting ready for the day The location great, easy to find, close to everything. Enjoyed a day at the Bournemouth pier which was easy to get to by Uber Would a million percent stay again, thank you so much 😊

The property is stunning, very spacious, clean and the host was so helpful with all my questions. Went for a girly weekend and we all had so much fun. Very nice to have a choice of different beds. Having a room with singles meant it was nicer for the girls that didn't want to share a bed. The location is great aswell.
