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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomNothing, it was all good with everything suiting our needs.
Our hosts were very friendly helpful and courteous, and made our 3 night stay very comfortable. The breakfasts were glorious, all served in a very professional manner. Our room (bedroom 1) was spacious, comfortable and very quiet (the mini fridge to keep the fresh milk cool, was a nice touch). The location was spot-on for us, making it ideal for touring about. The overall feel of the Farmhouse made us feel very relaxed - So quiet, and we loved the countryside location. We had an evening meal at The Blue Ball Inn, which was really very nice (you'll need to book). We also had an evening meal at The Hare & Hounds, which was also very nice but it was very, very busy (we called in on a Sunday, and you'll definitely need to book).

United KingdomFinding evening meals in nearby pubs was a bit of a challenge, but obviously not the fault of the B&B itself. We couldn’t fault the B&B.
We enjoyed excellent breakfasts. Our room was wonderful and spacious with far-reaching views. The bed was king-sized and super-comfy. Because of a cancellation our hostess had upgraded us at minimal extra cost. She was very warm and welcoming and clearly enjoyed her business and meeting her guests. We really loved this B&B!

United KingdomThe only complaint would not be the fault of the owners; potholed service roads needing love and care by the Highways dept, but the setting was enough to make up for this.
Excellent breakfast: plenty of choice in a comfortable dining room, well presented and service with a smile! Though we hardly used it, the guests' sitting room was a bonus, and bedroom spacious and very clean and comfortable. Second bedroom would be a little squashed for a couple but fine for our son (single occupancy) and had a spacious ensuite.

United KingdomThere was nothing that I didn't like. One small point that I noted a lack of brochures on local amenities and sightseeing options that might prove helpful to those new to the area who have not already done their own research. My trip was out of season and more details may well be available for guests during the main holiday season.
Well presented property in lovely countryside. While breakfast was the only meal provided it was good and filling with "full English" for those wanting it. The proprietor was friendly, helpful and accommodated my own need to have an early breakfast in time for my race.
