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 KingdomWe stayed over a weekend and at times like this we like to enjoy a long soak in a bath; sadly, there wasn't one. While the main Booking.com page mentioned an en suite bathroom, it was only in the small print that it explained that the bathroom contained only a shower. It's difficult to say whether this is a flaw in the app, but it does feel a curious choice for such a well put-together place. Perhaps they mainly have business guests?
Very well located and very well equipped. We enjoyed our attentive hosts, who worked hard to make our stay perfect.

South AfricaI cannot recommend you guys enough! The room was beautiful, elegant and cozy with subtle luxurious touches like the fluffy robe and handmade shortbread - what a treat! I’d come again for the breakfast alone! The most gorgeous brioche French toast, I only wish I could linger over it a bit longer. Thank you!

United KingdomRooms a touch small.
Overall our stay was very good. The room was a little small considering the price - but I think that’s more to do with the current climate rather than the owners. The breakfast was delicious and cleanliness of the building in its entirety, was fantastic. Staff, very friendly and helpful.

Being one stop in our Cotswalds tour we can compare Virginia House to many more Bed & Breakfast locations, and we will remember it as the best one! Perfect in every sense, the location, the seemingly low key but very well maintained house, the furnishing, the style, the excellent breakfast that was created and served high above our expectations and above all other beakfast experience. The hosts make your stay pleasant and comfortable. We wish to come back sometime and spend more time at Mike and Barbara’s house.

AustraliaIf you open the window for some fresh air, it is quite noisy because you are right on the main road going through the village. There wasn't any parking on the premises and you have to park in a side street across the road. Although these things weren't ideal, a stay at Virginia House is still to be highly recommended.
The proprietor, Mike, was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and professional, and his wife was lovely as well. The room was beautiful and so comfortable, but the best thing was the incredible breakfast! It was amazing and everything was on offer. It's the best breakfast we have had whilst on holidays. We would love to stay again at Virginia House in the cute town of Bloxham. A stay there is highly recommended.
