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 KingdomOur stay at the Old Rectory was even better than expected. The family room was brilliant, Tim and Helen were so kind and helpful, and the breakfasts were incredible. Perfect location for visiting Longleat and the local area. Comfy beds, excellent facilities and the kids loved the board games!

United StatesWe arrived in the dark, the only thing I wish was different would be to have a light on the sign. It would have been hard to find without the GPS. Even if it was just a few solar garden lights to help see the sign.
The grounds and the home were beautiful. Our hosts were quite lovely and take great care of their home. The prepared a wonderful Full English Breakfast. They make their own homemade jams (which are available for sale separately from breakfast). Our kids loved Elvis the rocking pig.

United KingdomI think a sign before the actual property itself would be helpful. Even tho we followed directions and drove slowly, we still missed the turn off first time around. I unfortunately got backache from the soft mattress in The Avebury Suite but that's just me.
Tim and Helen were lovely hosts and made us feel so welcome. The hot breakfast was very tasty and well presented. A special mention to the delicious homemade jam which you can buy, (so we did!) Can control the heating in the room which you cant always do in places. A great base for exploring nearby attractions.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing at all!!
We stayed in the family suite and it was perfect. Very clean and cosy. The kids loved having their own space. Breakfast was lovely, and nothing was too much trouble despite our fussy requests. Tim and Helen were also very knowledgeable on Longleat and were willing to share their top tips with us about our visit. Thank you to you both for making us feel at home. Its a shame we couldn't stay longer.
