Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomNarrow lane and courtyard which made parking awkward. Although the cottage was cosy and comfortable, certain aspects were dated and tired. The small rear patio area needed tidying up ( there were several cigarette butts in the cracks between the flag stones which were uneven and wobbly in places)
The location was quiet.

United KingdomI’m a bit hesitant about this as I’ve a feeling there was a reason why but the kitchen was a little grubby. Had to clean the dog food stuck in plug hole, toaster hadn’t been wiped down since last used as crumbs all over the top, wiped dining table as crumbs on it, potato masher had potato stuck in it, the cooking oil needs to be replaced as dated 2017. I honestly don’t mind these little things however it was the smell from the fridge that we struggled with. I tried cleaning it but I think the smells coming from the drainage hole and with it being an integrated fridge it would be extremely difficult to sort out. I believe one of the owners might’ve been in hospital, (overheard a conversation in the pub), so can completely understand they didn’t have the time or frame of mind to pick up on these issues. I would still recommend the cottage to others.
Beautiful location and cottage. Comfy, homely and welcoming. Cottage was nice and warm for our arrival, beds were so comfortable and the welcome pack came in very handy. Even had dressing gowns and toiletries. Would definitely come back. Thank you! The Punch Bowl pub is worth a visit and the food is lush.

IrelandIt would benefit from some upgrades but it was fine for us for a night.
Nice small cottage in lovely countryside. Meet my the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. He was understanding when I told him I needed to get change for the £15 dog charge. The cottage is nicely laid out. There was tea, coffee milk, biscuits, cereal and biscuits which was lovely.

New ZealandWas a little tricky to find with google maps, so specific instructions would have been good. A synthetic scented room freshener made me feel sick, some people are sensitive to them (had to hide it for our duration).
Lots of little extras that made this place very homely, like a cosy family cottage, such as decent toiletries, some food left for guests. Pretty 'cottage' decor that matched the building. We were only stopping en route but imagine a good place to base yourselves for local sightseeing. Quiet rural setting.

United KingdomHost reply to us saying that the cottage was cold. We asked if we could put the heating on (which we could not control) just for an hour to warm the cottage up. He replied that the heating goes off in May and only comes on in the morning for one hour. There was a small electric fan type heater in the room/kitchen area which just took the edge off but no use for bathroom and bedrooms. Yes this year is an exception but an hour to warm things up on arrival would of made a lot of difference comfort wise.
The beds were quite comfortable and facilities good
