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.).

Dower House Apartments is a beautiful old building on the edge of Lincoln and was just right for us for a four night stay. First floor apartment which had every amenity needed and spacious wasn't the word, a huge place for us, a couple! We like a spacious area and this had it in abundance, very impressed. Our host popped up to see if we were settled in okay and who we saw watering the plants from time to time. Ample parking outside, a lovely quiet area and the evening song of the blackbirds was a pleasure to hear. We came for a concert for one night at Lincoln Castle but toured the area the rest of the time and the location was excellent for us to do that. Couldn't fault it and understand when told there was repeat visiting, we would stay without hesitation again too.

AustraliaNothing. It was all
Everything. This was an old 2 storey country mansion, completely renovated inside and split into multiple self contained apartment. It was exceptionally luxurious, very spacious, clean, had everything you needed, in a beautiful garden setting, in a quiet country lane, but just 5 mins drive to the city centre. . Our apartment (no 3), even had great views of the cathedral.

United Kingdom30 min walk to town but there's parking in town if you want to drive.
Very thoughtful & welcoming host. We picked up the key from the locked box but the host came out to the gate to welcome us and help carry things up to our room. Fresh roses, milk, croissants & crisps ready on arrival. Small misunderstanding re garden expertly solved by providing us with recliners in lovely front garden where we had evening drinks in sunshine. Well equipped and tastefully decorated kitchen/lounge.
