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 KingdomThe bed squeaks as you move and the blind opposite the bed does let in the light in the mornings. I would also prefer a sofa that isn't a sofa bed, as we sunk in it a little bit too much. But these are really only minor.
The hosts here are lovely. The location is superb and the cottage itself has nice facilities. Great water pressure and the bed is very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings. Impossible to be cold with the real fireplace. Cottage has a nice ambience too!

United KingdomNothing to report. We have used this location many times over a number of years and it always makes us look forward to our next booking.
Holly Cottage is always welcoming, with fresh flowers and a lovely feel to it, making it very comfortable for a weekend stay. Quickly becomes a 'home from home' which is exactly what we are looking for.

Everything is so easy, from parking to collecting keys and then the rest of the weekend too, in a very peaceful, scenic location. Comfortable, homely and it never disappoints. Hosts get the balance spot on, being friendly and accessible, but not obtrusive.

United KingdomNothing could be better for us. We love our breaks at Holly Cottage. If we did find something, we would only have to mention it and it would be attended to.
Fresh flowers on arrival and new and additional furnishings (as we stay have stayed here previously). The new selection of local magazines provided insights into the surrounding villages' history that we wouldn't be able to understand otherwise and which all add to the charm.

lovely, comfortable cottage, in a quiet location. We found it a great place to stay, within easy reach of walking trails and the most beautiful of Cotswold villages. The cottage has everything you will need for a comfortable stay, and the hosts could not have been more helpful and attentive, thank you for a wonderful stay and a positive entry in our travel Journal.

United KingdomHave no comment for this box.
Location is excellent. You are in the centre of England so you can get to anywhere very easily and quickly (bonus points immediately if you live in the SE!) For us, the countryside around is magnificent and villages are just to the more intriguing side of Cotswold picturesque. Our hosts go out of their way to make the stay a pleasant one, but are never intrusive. You know they are there if you need them, but you rarely do, because they have thought of everything. I cannot give a better recommendation than to say that within an hour of reaching home, we were booking the next stay in August. It is truly worth 10 / 10.

Everything! Location was ideal tucked away in lovely little village with pub 10 mins walk away. We were looking for a cozy cottage for the 2 of us for Christmas and Holly Cottage was perfect. Lovely log burner, excellent kitchen facilities, TV streaming etc. Jackie was amazing from arrival to departure.

United KingdomOne tiny thing which could be an easy fix - the bed was very very creaky, any tiny movement or rolling over woke us both up - I only mention as the host may not be aware, and I’m sure she’ll be keen to know :)

United KingdomGaps in outside doors would have been draughty - but summer weather so ok; private patio garden was very scruffy and overgrown and could have been a lovely place to sit - but wasn't.
Very helpful hosts always available next door; all facilities provided; great tv's and streaming; good price for the Cotswolds; short walk to great pub; short drive to Cotswolds towns.
