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 KingdomSome areas were a little tired and could have been cleaner eg. the rug in the lounge area and the armchair. I would have liked some basic shampoo in the bathroom, similar to what you find in hotel rooms.

United KingdomNothing, the issue with parking on the street was clearly stated beforehand and the walk to the top road was steep but short.
The Cottage was wonderful and the small touches made it exceptional. Allison was VERY responsive and had thought of everything.

United KingdomThis character cottage was a delight, with nice personal touches and very well equipped. It's in a great location for all the local amenities...within walkable distance.... The sun trap terrace has lovely sea views, just what you need at the end of a day exploring.! We enjoyed our stay with our dog, and especially the scenic coastal walks. Host to hand with any queries..and welcome pack much appreciated.. thank you Allison! We aim to return...

United KingdomSeating area is rather cosy, but it's not a dislike. It's necessary to have a table and chairs so that the property appeals to a young family.
Convenience of location was fantastic, weather was amazing and we utilised the sun terrace at the top of the garden that had a great view over the bay for food and drinks in the evening - loved it!

United KingdomIt wasn't a problem at all, but if i have to put something in this box, i'd say the main towels were rather small - we thought they were hand towels! Parking was also - inevitably, given age and location of the cottage and it being a busy bank holiday - a bit challenging, but wouldn't put us off a repeat stay.
We loved the location, the cosiness and age of the cottage, the comfortable bed and the view from the terrace

United KingdomWould recommend staying here; Fisherman's Cottage was a lovely, quaint cottage to stay (only stayed one night, wish it had been more). It has a cosy lounge, comfy bed, a kitchen and bathroom with everything you would need, with both traditional and beach decor. Dog friendly (Nell and Caio enjoyed as much as we did) with walks straight from the door and great food in The Woodman. Stood and took in the view from the back patio high up, can imagine sitting up there on a warm sunny day would be good. Easy to find and we found it nice and peaceful. Would recommend anyone staying here to plan their parking as the Mumbles gets very busy. Will recommend to friends and hope to come back one day for another stay.

United KingdomNot much! The bed was a bit hard for us but hard to please everyone there. It was a bit odd having to pay for wood for the log burner especially for a short let usually this would be included in the rate- but I guess for longer lets understandable
Lovely period cottage oozing character well located for Mumbles & the Gower - a really lovely area and our first visit there! Well appointed & cosy with a lovely roof terrace for panoramic views

United KingdomNothing, it was a great escape between Xmas and New Year.
It’s a perfect location for a quiet break on the Mumbles. The cottage is quaint with a very cosy living room that has a log burner that creates great heat and ambience. The upstairs has perfectly equipped kitchen, bathroom and main bedroom with a large, maybe king size, comfy double bed. Although it was December, the patio was great to let the dog out to stretch his legs and the views over the bay are brilliant. In 2 minutes you can be walking along the front, and in a bar or restaurant in a similar time.
