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.).

FinlandBreakfast was outstanding good, really extraordinary. Room was super and the whole house was so beautiful. Louise's kindness was something amazing, that you can not find easily it from anywhere, it came from her deep heart. Funny thing was that when we woke up 1st morning back at home we were still dreaming/thinking that soon there is again super breakfast by Louise :)

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect
The well-decorated and comfortable room, the absolutely delicious breakfast and afternoon tea the day of our arrival, Louise’s kindness and attention to details (flowers in small bouquets everywhere, many options of tea and coffee in the room, all of the soaps and other bathroom items you could wish for, everything you need to be comfortable). The cottage itself is gorgeous and surrounded by a small but beautiful garden full of flowers. The living room’s decoration gave us the change of scenery we needed, as we were instantly transported to a typical English countryside house. It’s a 5 minutes walk from a river and fields path where we saw some nesting swans, lots of cows, pheasants, a couple of deers… and sadly we apparently missed the otters! Our stay felt dreamy and whimsical and we were sad to have to leave already!

AustraliaDoes not apply. Everything was wonderful. The host communicates ahead of time about the tiny steep stair well inside that leads to bedrooms; some people might struggle with this but we didn’t. We found everything utterly charming.
My daughter and I loved staying at Tudor Cottage. The host Louise was warm and welcoming, and the food was superb! Best breakfasts of our trip, a lovely cosy lounge area with open fire, and my daughter says the bed was the best she’s ever slept in (four poster room with bath). Just marvellous.

AustraliaIt was perfect, so nothing.
Louise went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in her quaint B&B. Her HighTea and breakfast were superberb. It is just beautifully decorated, and the village of Frampton is delightful. I especially liked the country walk Louise advised us to do in the village. I only wish I could go back there to experience it again. I will certainly be telling family and friends about it.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing at all!
The property was beautiful- we loved the Tudor style and furnishings. We chose the four poster bed room . The bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and Louise had provided everything you could possibly need for our stay including plenty of toiletries and towels. There was plenty of information about the surrounding area with books and leaflets in our room but Louise was helpful at guiding us as well. We were welcomed after a long day with tea and homemade cake by the fire - absolute bliss! The breakfast was the most sumptuous feast with so many homemade items to choose from - we needed to stay for a fortnight to have worked our way through everything. The cooked part of our breakfast was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection- what a treat!

Just wow! From the fantastic cream tea on arrival, to the fresh cut flowers, fruit and chocolate in our room, this place was outstanding. The breakfast was a gastronomic dream, from home bread to an extravaganza of marmalade. The full English breakfast was the best we have ever had, served in a stunning traditional front room loaded with original art work and sparkling silverware, and including a medieval fireplace. Louise’s attention to detail is outstanding. Hands down the most impressive BnB we have ever stayed in!
