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.).

What didn't we like! From the squirrel knocker, to.the.open shower, the hot tub, the bed and even a little glass of milk in the fridge. The toilet roll was scented. Just every little.detail was thought off! My partner proposed to me at this venue so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

United KingdomWhilst the property was lovely, it was very cold. We did visit in December though and the weather was awful. The radiators were small and did not fully warm the rooms. The bed was also a bit uncomfy as it sagged down in the middle. It did not spoil our stay though.
Lovely peaceful location with fantastic views.

This was our second time staying at squirrel cottage we loved it so much the first time we had to go back. It’s cosy and heats up fast. It was raining when we went but we just held the umbrella over the hot tub and still got in until the rain stopped. The cottage itself is very spacious and has been spotless both times we went, there’s also a booklets of restaurants and takeaways nearby and a bit about the cottage in it. We especially love the photo album of the construction of the cottage!

United KingdomWe didn't like that the hot tub was not covered to enable us to use it in all weather conditions as our stay we had alot of rain which is not the owners fault but feel a covered area or large outdoor umbrella provided for guests would have helped.
Loved the hot tub unfortunately due to rain didn't get to use it as much as we wanted I suggest a cover to be erected to help guests use hot tub more. A large outdoor umbrella would even work. The hot tub area was very private and I know our weather can be hit and miss and not the owners fault but I think if we had a cover we would have enjoyed the hit tub more. We loved the cottage as a whole great bathroom and bedroom plus massive TV wished we had booked it for another night.
