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 KingdomNothing not to like but probably better suited for those exploring the local area by car rather than on foot.
Great communication prior to the arrival and during the stay. Individual, unique, charming cottage and lovely welcoming, generous hosts. Lots of great touches, wildflowers in the bedroom, decaf options to drink, fresh home-made bread, green cleaning products! Relaxed timings and a share in a beautiful and spiritually uplifting garden watching the nesting birds.

United KingdomOnly things really was the door was very stiff to close, wood I assume had expanded. And there isn't actually a key to the bedroom room, but when I was going to leave, Elaine made that no trouble and asked if I'd like the key to the middle door that separates their home and the rented space (bathroom and bedroom) I said yes please, and I had that for a little bit until I came back, returned it so she could collect used pots (to wash up etc) - No trouble :)
Everything was beautiful and comfortable here. Elaine was the sweetest, kindest, mother like host I could've wished for, she was just wonderful. I had just come out of hospital, very tired and in pain, she was amazing. PG tip teabags! - You know it's decent. Everything I needed. Could've stayed for an entire week. Parking on site, beautiful little bathroom. Loads of plugs everywhere to charge devices, comfort bed and blankets, lots of cushions and window seat looking into a large back garden (I didn't have a chance to walk around because of pain but will in the future) Warm, lots of little freebee breakfast bits, biscuits, fresh homemade bread... Just... literally so so nice! I can't wait to stay again!

A very cosy garden room with en-suite shower. A delicious array of continental breakfast options taken in your room or in the delightful garden a few straps from your door. Run by a very friendly and helpful couple who are available if needed but otherwise leave you in peace. Great location for the beach or Chichester, walks or pubs.
