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 KingdomIs a great place to stay if going to alton towers as only minutes away. House is lovely and fully stocked. Restaurant next door was great and didnt have to go far. Never noisy so your not disturbed even when sitting outside. Kids loved it and had plenty space to play in house

United KingdomThe only thing we encountered was a small issue where a member of the party cut themselves by accident which prompted using the first aid bag and there was a used dirty plaster inside which they had to touch, which wasnt too pleasant, but a very minor inconvenience as the first aid bag obviously isn't used too much so we just got rid of it.
The host Sarah was lovely and friendly and kept us updated via text. The lodge itself was just beautiful, clean and spacious. We had an amazing weekend for my birthday and a lovely dinner cooked in the kitchen. The beds were big and comfy and the Bluetooth speakers and gorgeous long table made the stay so much fun for our small friendship group. Would absolutely recommend as we also went to Alton towers which was literally just up the road in the car !

United KingdomHeating was controlled by the host so we needed to message them to turn it up, although they were very quick to respond.
The accommodation was perfect for what we were looking for. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. I'm not sure when it was refurbed but it felt very recently and was done very very well. Very modern fit out, especially the kitchen but still in keeping with the charm.

United KingdomEverything was amazing. This is so much more than your average place to stay, the facilities are second to none. So comfortable and homely, well kept and to a very high standard at that. The log burner was built up for us on arrival and the bedrooms are huge and extremely comfortable. Each bedroom having its own en suite with shower and another toilet/shower room downstairs is a real bonus. The kitchen is amazing and really well equipped along with another utility room including washer and dryer. The underfloor heating downstairs is great and the 3 smart TVs are a real bonus too. I can't believe what was included considering the price we paid. To say there were 4 of us staying at £55 each per night we had a real bargain, it really was an unbelievable find. I'm so impressed and so are my wife and friends who stayed with us. We will definitely check this place first for our next alton towers trip.

A beautifully decorated cottage which is spacious and comfortable. The Stables has everything you could need including a fully equipped kitchen, with large fridge and freezer. Also a utility room with washer, tumble dryer and additional downstairs bathroom. Everywhere was spotless and the host had left plenty of supplies, everything that we needed. Upstairs were two bedrooms, with very comfortable beds and both rooms were en- suit, with lots of towels. Outside was parking for up to three cars and a lovely outdoor seating area. We stayed here to go to Alton towers which was just down the road. Finally the host went above and beyond when we accidentally left two items at the lodge, she very kindly found them and sent them back to us, We absolutely loved staying here and will be back.

NetherlandsPerhaps there would be convenient to have somewhere to put the soap while having a shower.
Everything was perfect. The size of the cottage exceeded my expectations. It has everything you need to have a more than pleasant stay. It was also with good taste and quantity decorated.
