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.).

We had a great stay. Our room was spacious, clean, and the bed super comfortable. There is a lounge and kitchen for everyone to use which was really handy. The location is great for walking into Lyndhurst and the rest of the new forest. The kind man who runs the place was so friendly and welcoming which was great!

United KingdomIt was all perfect .
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Forest Side it was just perfect. A lovely large bright room which was so comfortable and relaxing and we had everything we needed. It was decorated beautifully and spotlessly clean. We really liked being able to make tea and coffee whenever we wanted and having access to all the facilities in the lovely big kitchen especially breakfast which was well stocked with all you could want for breakfast. Staff were very friendly especially the owner of the guesthouse who was so lovely and friendly and he very kindly let us park in the guesthouse car park before check in. Forest side is also so close to Lyndhurst town and for a lovely forest walk both only a few minutes walk away. We will definitely be staying here again we were made to feel very welcome on arrival and also during our staying.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like.
The room was lovely and clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. It was also very peaceful as our room was on the top floor. The mini fridge was very useful for keeping drinks cold. The location was perfect for walking into town and for visiting Denny's Wood. Rosetta was a lovely warm welcoming host and very helpful. We had a fantastic 3 nights stay at Forest Side Guest House.

IrelandRosetta was the perfect host. She was so warm and welcoming and had the answer to all our questions without intruding. I cannot stress enough just how clean the room was. Having travelled a bit recently I don’t think I’ve seen a hotel/guesthouse room so clean in quite some time. The bed was a king, with a firm mattress offering a great night’s sleep. Extra pillows were readily available in the wardrobe. Tea and coffee facilities in the room were also appreciated. The mini fridge was also more than adequate to meet our needs. The location, although not right in the village was good for us. Just a 5 minute stroll to the centre of town. Also slap bang next door to an excellent restaurant. We heard no road noise, nor that of other guests, in the bedroom. A great stay.
