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 KingdomThe kitchen was a little too compact for us and would have preferred a proper oven.
Loved how our dog could just go off and adventure. We felt like part of nature with blue tits nesting in the cowshed walls and watching deer run wild in the meadow. Lovely, peaceful break, and great hosts.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely incredible. The space was not only beautifully designed but also exceptionally clean and spacious, making it the perfect retreat. It was an ideal spot for our dogs, with stunning open land right out the back that felt almost unreal. David and Kathryn were wonderful hosts, offering warm and thoughtful communication both before and during our stay. They even surprised us with Prosecco and chocolates, which made the experience feel even more special. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate – this place is a gem, and you won’t be disappointed!

United KingdomEverything was perfect, lovely accommodation fabulous for our weekend stay. Our hosts were fantastic, our son is autistic and David was so calm and wonderful with him. He loved the dogs and didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye to them. David took the time to take Ollie to find them and even took some great photos of them together so Ollie had them for his memories. Will definitely be back for a longer stay if we can find any availability it looks like we are not the only family that has found this sweet retreat.❤️

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
Very roomy accommodation, tastefully decorated with top class fixtures and fittings, very comfortable bed. Easy to find location and enormous rear garden which provided ample exercise space for our young labrador. Additionally there was an attached meadow landscaped with 1100 young trees to explore - a unique feature. The owners had mowed pathways and clearings in the meadow to give the effect of a tree maze.

United KingdomFew too many flies and bugs but that's what you get out in the countryside!
Amazing place with great attention to detail everywhere. The kitchen in a cupboard was fantastic and well stocked with all the essentials and utensils you need to cook properly if you want to. The duvet was divine, so fluffy and warm and cosy. Everything was lovely! Much bigger than I expected as well. We took our dog and he loved all the space, they've created their own walk at the end of the garden with trees and sculptures that's great to take the dog through.

GuernseyThe property is in a beautiful area. I was travelling with my dog for an event at the nearby Turnpike Showground and the venue could not have been more perfect for us. There is a large fenced garden and a truly lovely walk leading from the garden into the owner’s Millennium Wood area which made our rambles first thing in the morning and last thing at night a pleasure. The cowshed is beautifully decorated and furnished - I did not cook and so cannot comment on the oven and hob but there appeared to be all of the utensils one would need. The shower is great - lovely and hot with good pressure. There is no washing up liquid or tea towel so remember to bring your own or pick some up from any of the nearby supermarkets. The location is wonderfully quiet with lots of bird song. Above the bed is a large Velux window which is a nice touch although no blind so might not suit those who are bothered by morning light. I love to wake up naturally with the sun so this was no problem for me and I enjoyed being able to check out the sky before getting up. My husband,loved the photos I sent home so much, he is insisting on coming next time!
