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 KingdomMilk for teas in the room wasn't provided which was probably an oversight. We could have asked for some but we arrived back quite late and didn't want to disturb the host. Local water tastes of chlorine so perhaps could have been filtered to remove that taste
We initially searched for B&B locations and thought the price quoted included breakfast - until we read the small print when we discovered the breakfast is extra. Nevertheless we paid for and received an excellent breakfast

United KingdomI had to call the property mobile number when I arrived as there was no answer when I rang the doorbell, even though I called a couple of days beforehand to advise of my arrival time. My room was also a bit on the cold side in the evening but nice and warm the following morning.
My room was exceptionally clean and comfortable and the en-suite bathroom was really nice, new and modern and also disabled-friendly, which was a bonus for me. There was ample tea, coffee and milk provided too. The TV worked well, so much so that I ended up binge watching The Crown on Netflix. 🤭

United KingdomNothing could have been better.
Our second time at this lovely B & B while visiting friends in Exmouth. Ruth and Joe are so welcoming and helpful. The ensuite room is home from home. The bed is super comfortable due to a lovely thick mattress topper and memory foam pillows. Although we did not have breakfast there I am sure it would have been excellent. The owners have two friendly dogs who bark a bit but soon stop as soon as you greet them. We will definitely return next year.

United KingdomI wish I’d booked to stay longer! There is nothing that could change to make my stay better. It completely exceeded my expectations.
I absolutely loved my whole experience at Hedgebank. I arrived to a ready, warm welcome and I felt very comfortable. The room was delightful - quiet, warm, clean, beautifully decorated, with a lock on the door, included an en-suite, with ‘extra’ thought having gone into things such as the beautiful tray with glasses and tea/coffee poised in the room. And warm fresh towels on the bathroom towel rail. I was in awe of the decor. The bathroom was modern, warm, clean and had excellent shower. It really was classy and comfortable and I consciously thought multiple times throughout my stay how comfortable and happy I was there. It felt like a home away from home (but better!). I felt very safe there. I’m quite safety conscious, and I absolutely felt at ease and safe at all times. The other people that live in the property are absolutely trustworthy and lovely people. The house has a lovely vibe, and I slept better than I can remember! They were incredibly generous and even offered to make me a sandwich when I said I was going to pop out (quite late) to get some snacks. This was such a kind gesture and I felt so welcome. I am really over the moon with my stay - it was like a wonderful holiday.

Incredibly warm welcome from the owner, Ruth and her dogs. Great communication ahead of my trip and she very kindly picked me up from the station. Beautiful and comfortable room with all mod cons (I slept so well). Delicious cooked-to-order breakfast. Exceptional service. Waaaay lovelier than an impersonal hotel. Just perfect.
