How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWas fine as it appeared in photos.
The electronic lockbox is a bit finicky; made it challenging to get in the house when we arrived at midnight. Also, there are 3 rooms with names and wasn’t told which room was ours was awkward.
Hi Robert, thank you for your feedback. It seems there was a mix-up on arrival — the lockbox holds the front door key only, while your room key was left on the lounge table with your name and room clearly marked. This was also outlined in your welcome email, along with our contact number, which is also displayed throughout the property, should you need assistance at any time. We’ll look at how we can make these instructions even clearer for future guests, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back again.

Verified reviewVery clean, up to date property. The owners had clearly gone to great lengths to make sure guests are comfortable and well looked after. We had an early start, before breakfast was served, and instead received a breakfast bag that was greatly appreciated. Thank you! Another thing that I would recommend putting in the property information is that there is also the use of a kitchen and lounge that is included in the price. This may be a real selling point!
Our only issue, which was our own fault, was that a private bathroom is not the same as an en-suite bathroom. Our bathroom was located just 2 or 3 steps across the hall, which was not what we expected. The bathroom had good modern facilities.

Verified reviewLovely accommodation with plenty facilities. Room was very cosy and clean and had more than could need. Breakfast was very tasty, especially the bacon. Communal area very well maintained for use and access to the greenhouse 24/7. Only short drive to some amazing rugged beaches where can enjoy sunrise/sunset if weather's compliant. Had a gander at the little shop as well and got some locally produced jams and sweets.
Depends on the other guests noise levels can hear them as well when shower/faucet used. Will have travel for evening meals if not heating something in the microwave/oven.

Verified reviewFabulous night in the Hayloft which was spotlessly clean & well equipped. Added bonus of being able to use the garden centre & greenhouse in the evening. Breakfast was amazing in the garden centre cafe & very friendly staff.
Nothing! Only thing I’d recommend is take something to cook in the evening as nowhere good nearby to eat.
