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 KingdomThere genuinely wasn’t one thing about the hideaway that we didn’t like! Would definitely go back again!
Everything!!! The location was fabulous felt really secluded! The hideaway itself was very beautifully laid out, all the little personal finishing touches made it that little more special. Great communication from the owner from start to finish, very welcoming! Could have stayed in the hot tub all day! The sheep running to greet us was an added perk 😊

United KingdomA tiny thing would have been slightly better directions from the post code point. 'Continue along the rod for 200 yards and you will see a sight for Swinhoe Cottages with a flag on your left. Take this turn into the hedged drive and immediately left. It's such a small thing, but everything else was excellent.
Cute, private, magical little get away. Hosts had thought of everything to make it wonderful, little bottle of milk, tea and coffee... so lovely.

United KingdomNothing i didn’t like. Recommendations a small milk in the fridge for a cuppa on arrival would have been nice as there were tea bags sugar and coffee also the tea bags were awful tasted a little funny but that’s the only thing I normally bring my own other than that it was faultless
It was the most perfect little cottage with amazing views lots of outside space. The hot tub with pretty lights were beautiful and there was a lot of space inside with everything at hand. The location was fabulous with our beautiful coast line at hand

United KingdomEverything was great although my personal preference is a higher quality of sheets/bedding although not really a complaint.
Fantastic stay. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Very relaxing and we loved the hot tub. Loved the fact it was a wood burning hot tub. Easy contactless check in. Ceckout was quite early at 10am would of preferred a little later at 11am. Waking up to the animals was a lovely treat. Definitely be booking again.

United KingdomGorgeous property with a fantastic log burning hop tub. Great location close to Seahouses (we visited to see the puffins on the Farne Islands), with lots of lovely restaurants and walks near by. We especially loved the sheep, and there were dozens of barn swallows flying about, which was magical. Comfy bed and great facilities, thank you!

United KingdomNothing not to like. Mattress was loved by one of us, but not so good for the other: a matter of taste!
The location was an ideal blend of privacy without being isolated - we were left alone to be 'at home' and relaxed but our host was only a text or phone call away. Hot tub with views of countryside and sky was wonderful. And the property provided a brilliant place for reading and writing.
