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 KingdomA lovely cosy and comfortable little cottage set in a quiet and pretty courtyard. It's in a small village just a very short drive from Sherborne and is a good location for visiting other interesting parts of Dorset and Somerset. Very friendly welcome from the owner who had provided a good DIY breakfast. Nicely decorated , lovely big soft bath sheets for the shower.

United KingdomNothing I didn't like. If I had to think of anything please move a mug to the lower shelf or worktop, as being a short arse, I had to use a wooden spoon handle to be able to reach and hook into the handle of the mug to pull it out of the cupboard 🤣 or provide a step, but I've found the spoon works well if it has a standard handle, and takes up less space than a step, so you had thought of everything.
If driving perfectly appointed to visit Sherborne and surrounding areas as 7 min drive Fully equipped and beautiful decor and furniture. Gorgeous comfy large bed. Ensuite shower room and toilet with lovely big fluffy white towels and large enclosed powerful shower, toiletries supplied which was a lovely touch. Everywhere was cosy, considering I stayed on a cold January night the whole cottage was warm and welcoming. Annie even checked what time I was arriving so she could ensure it was warm for me when I checked in. I spent the evening on the comfy sofa watching TV. The kitchen is fully equipped and a continental breakfast available in the fridge. I chose to make myself some toast with the fresh loaf and really enjoyed the blackcurrant jam, home made by Annie, it was delicious! Being able to park next to the cottage under it's own car port was a bonus when moving bags in and out as protected from the elements. The check in using the key box was simple and effective. My hosts were really helpful and even checked with me the following morning everything had been as I hoped. Can't fault anything and would highly recommend.

Beautiful location and peaceful with a very handy veranda you can sit under in all weathers ( we took a travel blanket to place on bench - uber comfort 🙂) The summer house catered for all our needs with a very comfortable bed! The kitchen has all the cooking equipment you require should you wish to cook ( we had lovely pasta dish on one evening ) a full size fridge freezer with the lovely fresh local produce was provided in the fridge ready for the breakfast morning This consisted of homemade rhubarb compote/good quality yoghurts/butter/eggs/orange juice/jams/milk and bottled water! A fresh loaf in breadbin from the local bakery! Particulary liked that recyling was encouraged and a box left to place used bottles/card ect along with a small caddy for used teabags/eggshells/fruit & veg A very good idea! The bathroom had a powerful rain type shower with lovely egyption cotton towels provided A comfortable sofa and TV with netfix Wifi provided Home from home but with lovely views! We visited Sherborne town ( 5 min drive ) with its great cathederal and nice shops with alot of bakerys! We had a great stay and look forward to a return visit !
