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.).

Our stay was wonderful - warm & cosy. Elaine and Bruce have thought of absolutely everything. They left us freshly baked bread and the little wood burner was on. The hut itself is of very high quality and the interior is beautiful. it had everything we needed. The bed and bedding was wonderfully comfortable and we slept brilliantly.

United KingdomThe hut is delightful, solidly constructed and beautifully finished. Set at the end of the owners' well kept garden with private outdoor seating. Well equipped with quality crockery and utensils. Homemade bread was delicious. Also plenty of butter, jams, yogurt, fresh fruit and cereals etc for breakfast. A very quiet and peaceful place to relax. Elaine and Bruce are great hosts and super friendly and helpful.

United KingdomElaine and Bruce have evidently thought of everything you could possibly need. The hut is well maintained, clean and cosy. The shower is lovely and warm and the bed very comfortable. The fire pit and BBQ are great and the very well designed garden gives you a calm, tranquil little oasis. The best thing, however, is the approach Elaine and Bruce have towards guests. We were made to feel incredibly welcome - it was a real joy to chat about Bruce's vegetable garden and they were very generous to give us a couple courgettes, broccolo and beans to go on the BBQ. A truly lovely stay in a very nice part of the world!

TaiwanNot really a lowlight, just in general the more spacious the space the better, but I guess the size and the compact design is part of the charm of the chalet :D
The hosts are super kind and friendly, Elaine met and showed us everything about the chalet upon our arrival. The chalet is tuck away in the backyard of the cottage, it may seem small but it is well-organised and comfy, also very connected to the big wide world outside (either physically or digitally as there is also a fast speed wifi in the hut ;D) so you won't feel being crammed in a little house. The bed is very comfortable, I missed the morning of waking up in the rainy day listening to the raindrop and the flow of the fresh air. Recommended for people who want to getaway from the busy city life.
