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 KingdomOnce more at Shave Farm. Very warm welcome from Kate and James. A much needed pot of tea and biscuits upon arrival in front of a roaring fire. Superb accommodation, a large and most comfortable bed, en suite bathroom very good. An amazing, delicious breakfast. A perfect rural location and easy to find. Kate and James the perfect hosts, nothing too much trouble for them. Thoroughly recommended!

We didn’t like The Five Dials Inn (rude staff)

United KingdomWe had an absolutely amazing 2 night stay at this beautiful cottage. The hosts were fantastic, very friendly and accommadating and ensured all our needs were met. Just the break we needed, surrounded my nature away from the busy city life. We even got to see the local farm animals which our kids really enjoyed. The cottage was very spacious, beautifully decorated and aesthetically pleasing with lovely big beds and comfy sofas. Clear to see a lot of effort and care has gone into maintaining this cottage and its surrounding area. Access to a private hot tub was also an added bonus. View of the lake is gorgeous and has access to play equipment along with a variety of animals to keep the kids entertained. We will definetley be coming back when it is warmer.

United KingdomOther places we've stayed have left a small welcome hamper on arrival which include things like tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, biscuits, crisps etc and flowers to get you started with the essentials and make you feel welcome. I think for the price you pay, something little like that would make a massive difference.
The venue and facilities were lovely! Me and my partner do a lot of stay cations and this by far was our favourite in regards to layout and modern decor. Love the fact that it is slightly away from the farm so you have the privacy wanted.

United KingdomNothing, it was perfect for our needs 💗
Location was great for us, we could visit Somerset, Devon and Dorset. Kate the owner also runs a B&B and self catering clients are able to purchase breakfast if required. We stayed in Apple Loft and it exceeded our expectations as it was far bigger than we thought. All appliances, furniture, decoration is if a very high standard.

We were 2 families visiting and we had the self catering cottage and family suite which was next door. It worked perfectly for us as there was ample room for us all to hang out in the cottage for meals etc. Both were beautifully decorated and the facilities were great. Being December it was a shame we didn’t get much use of the private cottage garden but in the summer it’d be fabulous. Breakfast was great and the hosts were lovely. Highly recommended!
