Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomI was lucky that i was the only guest in the part of the facility where my room was and had sole use of the bathroom else this could have been an issue if waiting for around four other guests to finish using the bathroom before getting the chance to complete morning ablutions. Th wifi was an easy log in but the phone signal, despite trying to use wifi, was poor.
despite arriving a little later than planned, i was greeted by Carol at the door and made welcome. Carol could see i was very tired after a 315 mile journey and offered to bring me some food to save going out to find food so late. This was really appreciated. The room provided a glorious vista across open field and a rather spectacular sunset. the breakfast was perfect.

United KingdomA minor point but the toiletries and water bottles could be more eco friendly ie not plastic. But the friendliness of the owners make up for it!
A truly magnificent bedroom. The description does not do it justice. Massive comfy bed. Very high quality linen. Beautiful bathroom. Lovely views. Such a peaceful place. Very relaxing. The owners are super friendly, flexible and welcoming. Can't wait to return.

AustraliaWe stayed for three nights and had very good memories. The room is large and cozy, and the bed is extremely comfortable, which is very important in the rainy and humid British winter! The bathroom is super big and the supplies are very clean. The breakfast made by Bob and Caroline was thoughtful and perfect, thank you!

A warm welcome from the owners to this delightful, architecturally quirky B&B set in the Hertfordshire countryside. Tastefully furnished, we had a comfortable bedroom overlooking the fields and a pre-booked private, adjacent bathroom. Be aware there are quite a few stairs to climb if you are not too active. A magnificent cooked breakfast and the delights of wandering pheasants in the garden and friendly horses in the adjacent stables who are happy to be petted under the supervision of their riders.

I have travelled for work, nevertheless, I've had a lovely and relaxing stay! The lodge is located in the middle of the quaint English countryside, so my sleep was not disturbed by any noise or light pollution. The breakfast was scrumptious, fresh and the hosts have ensured that my dietary needs as a vegetarian are fully met. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was adequate. The hosts were amiable and the lodge as well as the surroundings were beautifully kept.

United KingdomPeaceful, tranquil perfect farm location and amazing characterful property, felt like we were deep in the sticks. Couldn't hear any roads/traffic. Carol and Bob were really friendly yet gave us total space. Breakfast was champion. Can't wait to visit again. We were in the apartment which meant as a couple we had space and could separate for sleeping due to snoring lol. Such a beautiful scenic location with amazing views. We only live 20 min drive away but were transported. Maximum escapism ❤ thanks Carol and Bob

South AfricaThere was no mirror in the bedroom which meant going to the bathroom to do hair, make-up etc. The curtains need to be attended to as the pulley out of sight and they have been pulled apart which means they do not now close properly.
My breakfasts were very good. Do not eat meat so they did provide what I had asked for. Website did offer "continental breakfast" or full English but apparently that is not correct. Loved the location in the countryside and all the farm animals.
