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 StatesThere was nothing we didn't like that couldn't be changed by moving a few things around.
The cottages were cozy and unique. It's in a lovely setting. It was nice walking around and there are quaint little places to eat. The owner/caretaker is a super nice lady, ready yo help with anything you need.

United StatesPrice is a premium. Parking can be tight. No other complaints.
We love staying at the Secret Cottages. They are always clean and we'll equipped. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed and we weren't told, but there are several other options in the area.

United StatesDuring the winter we were there (Feb 2024), the inn is rebuilding their restaurant and bar. When it is finished they hopefully will offer breakfast as a part of the daily rate at the inn
We loved our stay in the secret cottages. Well appointed, fun vibe, and a super good location. We ate nearby at the Glenn Ellen Star, and wine tasted at Talisman across the street. In the morning we went for breakfast down the street to Le Pascals, a great French cafe. The best collection of pillows and towels. We had a shower and a large jetted tub in our room. And plenty of fun snacks There was a coffeemaker in the room where we got enough to get us out of the house and on towards breakfast. A cute patio that looks over the river, which we could hear softly all night.

United StatesNot really a bad thing... We look forward to returning another time and experiencing the restaurant/bar at the front of the property, after renovations are finished.
We really loved the Glen Ellen Inn and Cottages. We loved that Calabasas Creek runs behind the property,and added the soothing sound of moving water. The view from the deck and yard space in our cottage was amazing. The space was lovely and romantic. We loved the jacuzzi tub and steam shower in the room, and a very comfortable bed. Just a small walk to the local grocery store, saloon and breakfast spot. 1 mile to Benzinger Winery where we did tastings, and they give you a 2 for 1 at their sister property Imagery. Close to Sonoma city, but small town quiet and friendliness.

United StatesGee… can’t say there was anything wrong. Sorry they closed their restaurant but they are going to have it replaced by full bar which we’d love to see when it opens.
Loved the cute cottages and area they are in by a river/brook. Wonderful amenities and very comfortable. My husband loved the steam shower. We will come back for these reasons and great quiet location.

United StatesThis is the second time using the cottages and we love it there. There is so many personal touches to the place and it is very charming. I didn't have access to my email account, and I contacted Karen and she quickly responded and supplied me with information. I really appreciated that. The room is very nice and love the creek behind. The hot tub jacuzzi is a nice touch.

United StatesA good reading lamp would be appreciated. The many decorative pillows are cute, but there are too many; there's no place to put them, except on the floor. I wish there were some flexibility in charges. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to leave a day early and would have greatly appreciated a refund on the third night. As most of the other rooms were unoccupied, it's not like the room would have been booked anyway.
Rooms are quiet, cozy and comfortable. Love the fireplace. Great shower. Ooodles of towels. I like that it is within walking distance to a couple of nice restaurants and a little market.

United StatesThe cottages are situated in Glen Ellen, near Sonoma, where we spent two nights. Although we encountered a toilet issue, Karen promptly addressed and resolved it. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, with a nearby French bakery for breakfast and various restaurants. Despite the busy road, our room remained peaceful and undisturbed.
