Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomLimited parking outside property.
Karl and Josalyn couldn't do enough to make your trip enjoyable. Breakfast was superb. Our room was perfect for us on the top (fourth) floor, which wasn't a problem climbing up and down but not suitable for all. Great location.

Karl and Jocelyn were lovely hosts and made sure we were very welcolm. They couldn't have been more helpful, which made for a very delightful stay. The breakfast was superb and probably one of the most comprehensive and excellent breakfasts we have ever had. Westwood House was ideally situated at the top of the high street with easy access to shops, pubs and restaurants. Overall and very enjoyable 5 stars.

United KingdomKarl & Jocelyn were consummate hosts and their B&B is just gorgeous! Our spacious double bedroom was lovely and even had a mini-fridge which thoughtfully had a bottle of fresh milk & a bottle of still water, that was replaced each day. Despite facing the main road our room was nice and quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable for our 2 night stay. The breakfast in the morning was made to order and delicious and Karl & Jocelyn were so friendly and amenable. We had an exhausting drive down from Hertfordshire after work on the Friday and were worried we wouldn't arrive in time to check-in before 10pm so we called ahead and Karl reassured us they'd be ready for us whenever we got there. We had such a delightful time visiting family in the area that we will definitely be staying in Westwood House again every time we visit in future.

United KingdomParking wasn't ideal but manageable. There are a lot of stairs in the house, if you're less mobile. Nothing Karl and Jocelyn can do about either circumstance.
Karl and Jocelyn were fabulous hosts. New to the business they gave us a friendly, welcoming stay. Breakfast was generous with many choices. All facilities were thoughtful and plentiful. Definitely a place we'd return to.

The room was a very pleasant surprise as it consisted of three rooms - bedroom, bathroom and small lounge. The hosts were super and nothing was a problem to them. The breakfast had an extensive menu and was top quality. The location was in the centre of Dorchester which was ideal. Parking in the nearby council carpark was not a problem. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
