Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Should have chosen the two single bed option rather than double as there is more room to get in and out of bed.
Everything you need when you are away for a week. In a good position for the high street and shops.

The walled garden was very comfortable accommodation with a lovely garden and in a lovely village that had plenty of places to eat and drink. It was central to visit many pretty villages. Fantastic for dogs a great walk a couple of minutes away following a stream. Louis the owner was very friendly and always ready to help.

Excellent location in Long Melford which had a good choice of places to eat but the kitchen had a fantastic collection of pots and pans and dishes so there was no problem eating in. Long Melford is a great place to see this beautiful part of Suffolk and Lavenham.

An ideal location in the centre of Long Melford, down a short private track to the off-road, allocated, safe, private parking. Very quiet and peaceful despite being so close to the town. Accommodation was much more spacious than expected with good quality furnishings, fixtures and fittings. Wonderful underfloor heating system. Superb power shower. Comfortable outdoor furniture. Lovely little garden to enjoy the late-summer sunshine. 5 mins walk to the local butcher, baker and Co-op. Lots of tea-rooms and pubs/restaurants nearby, also an excellent "chippy" at the end of the lane. Highly recommended.

The property was spotless and the location couldn't have been better. The host was welcoming and knowledgeable. The property is around the corner from shops and restaurants but feels like it's in the countryside. The patio is bright and sunny, but protected from the weather- a wonderful place for your morning coffee! Paula and Rowen

Could do with a few more colourful decorative bits to make it feel more homely. We brought half our home with us so it didn’t matter to us but it looked a bit bare initially. Could do with a bit more by way of cupboards for hanging clothes, although there may not be room so we understood why things were designed the way they were.
Location lovely and peaceful. Modern, well equipped and everything worked

The only thing that would have have improved it is if it had a bath but the shower was good and hot. Tiny thing - didnt appear to be a pyrex or similiar bowl to put in microwave but that's being really picky!
Excellent location in the heart of the village very close to all amenities. Spacious, fully equipped large kitchen unusually with a freezer. Very comfortable outside seating, great access to the water meadows for walks with the dog. Host lives next door but wasn't intrusive just helpful if required.
