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 KingdomAn extra toilet roll would be helpful for a 3 day visit. A few cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling and behind bedside tables. Limited choice of TV channels.
The property was very cozy with everything we needed. The owner was friendly. Nice walk from the door but the fields were muddy as it was winter.

United KingdomCan be a little tricky to find ..I stopped a passing postman .
After an unavoidable issue with Underhill cottage the host contacted me and offered an alternative...Underhill coach house .The accommodation is out of this world. Beautiful interior and an amazing view..I booked for a couple of days of solitude and the Underhill coach house was perfect. Everything you could possibly want for a few days away ..I will be booking again in future .Better than 5* .

We had a truly wonderful stay for 4 nights. The location is off the beaten tracks and is in a very scenic location. The property is spacious and well decorated. The beauty of it all is that it is only a very short drive from many coastal attractions.

United KingdomHaving a bath was great unfortunately there wasn't enough hot water. The dishwasher had been broken by the previous guests and the owners were unable to replace this prior to our visit. We accept that this was not the fault of the owner who provided a gift pack of tea bags, cakes and biscuits by way of apology for the inconvenience caused.
Liked the quiet location. The accommodation was nicely furnished and well presented. Everywhere was clean and welcoming. The owners provided lots of information about the local area including lots of walks which we appreciated. The property had a bath which we like after a walk.

United KingdomYou might miss the turning down to the cottage. We used the escape lane as a point of reference for navigation. We had extra directions from Tina which put us right.
The cottage is outstanding, with all the comforts of home. Kitchen is well stacked with all the necessary equipment. We particularly enjoyed the small private terrace to eat & drink in. The bed was very comfortable & shower really good also. We enjoyed watching some of the DVDs on site. It was lovely to hear childrens laughter & play, without it being intrusive. Tina & Andy ( owners) were both very nice & helpful.
