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 KingdomIt's a long steep walk down to the city. We got a taxi back which cost about the same as 6 or 7 hours in a city centre long stay car park. The location is good for exploring the countryside but not so handy for the city.
The bungalow was well equipped with electric cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle and everything in the kitchen. There was a range tea and coffee available. There was a very large fridge freezer and a dishwasher. Plenty of space for five or six people to sit in the sitting room and watch the TV. A range of DVD and books were available. Great views of the city of Bath. I expect it would be good to sit out in the garden although it was too cold went we visited to do so. The location would be a good base to explore the wider area.

United KingdomNo issues, property was self check in and out which was no issue due to being given all relevant details needed. If had to say anything the lane into our lodge was a little narrow.
Property was quiet homely peaceful. Beautiful view over bath was everything and more for a short break and somewhere close to town to see the Christmas market. the pictures don't do enough justice for what this property offers and for nearly half the price of some b&b's/ hotels locally. Will definitely book again.

United KingdomIt was difficult to get a taxi or uber on the Friday night. Not sure if it is because it is a little way out of the city centre.
The location was close enough to the city centre to be convenient, but far enough out to be quiet and close to a the lovely skyline walk.

AustraliaIf you don't have a car it's a bit out of the way. A pleasant walk down the hill into town, but unless you're very fit you'll need to get a bus or taxi back.
A cute cosy cottage in a quit and pretty location. Very comfortable beds.

AustraliaThe kitchen would benefit from a bigger frypan and more crockery.
Absolutely stunning location. it was too far for us to walk into Bath, but the hills location was unbeatable for ambience. The bungalow is rustic, quirky and spacious. The gardens are a bit wild, but charming. The appliances are all top notch -especially the washer and drier. Lashings of hot water and a good shower head. The bathroom was very spacious and had stunning views. We had a visit from a lovely cat who also enjoyed the cottage. If you are expecting a modern, shiny, 5 star stay book elsewhere! if you like character and privacy, this is for you.

United KingdomGorgeous view but unfortunately slightly obstructed by the overgrown hedges.
Amazing communication with the host. He messaged us straight after booking with all the relevant information and then sent another message a day prior to our arrival as a prompt. The instructions were very easy to follow even when we were arriving in the dark. Very spacious cottage. Large bedrooms with comfortable beds. Very large bathroom. Well stocked and equipped kitchen. Great location - walking distance to Bath City centre but a bit of an uphill on the way back :)
