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.).

Hosts are very discreet and leave guests to enjoy their stay - that said, they are gracious and accommodating wanting to ensure the stay is as comfortable and easy as possible. Thank you for being great hosts.

United KingdomNothing, was perfect!
What wasn't there to like! The location was perfect for the activities we wanted to complete. We had everything we needed in The Old Smithy, and the hosts were fantastic. Sara and Dave are so accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be returning! Bobby, the dog, was the star of the trip for me, such a lovely dog.

United KingdomBit of a mix up with up with our arrival date so no key when we got there (they were v apologetic though!), and also probably due to this consumables weren’t restocked (e.g. loo roll, washing up stuff, soap) and hosts didn’t pick up messages about this.
Very cosy, warm, peaceful, had all the essentials for a short stay. Hosts were friendly when we met them. Convenient for Conwy and the mountains. Good local pubs and facilities.

United KingdomI can’t think of anything
We loved everything about it. It was in a great location for hikes and walks, but also to enjoy local towns and easy to find. It was warm, cosy and comfortable. Sara and Dave were lovely and made us feel at home. The Smithy has all the facilities and a wonderfully warm and powerful shower; great after a long hike. I wish we could have stayed longer.

It was wonderful, nicely appointed, perfectly sized and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Lovely garden to use too. Hosts really friendly and helpful (when asked for more detailed directions to the property they were spot on and it was easy to find). Perfect! Highly recommend!

SenegalThe half sized ironing board was really hard to use, especially as it only just fits on the table so a full sized on would be much appreciated if I were to stay again. Also, it would be awesome if there was a sofa bed in there as well as the double bed but the sofa that was there was great.
I loved the peace and quiet of the place. The shower was excellent and the whole bathroom was impeccably cleaned, as was the rest of the space.
