Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomTwo people shared the attic / apartment and both agreed the water pressure was not acceptable for a shower. If the pressure cannot be improved we would recommend removing the shower entirely and only having a bath. Alternatively installing a pump to improve things as it is impossible in its current state. Also in the soaring temperatures we would suggest putting fans in the rooms as, again especially up in the top of the house the room is unbearably hot and the windows were too high for us to reach to open.
Hospitality was exceptional, lovely people lovely location. Very quiet and a lovely welcoming feeling. We were also allowed to check in a little early and let ourselves in quite late after being at a festival.

New ZealandWe had a little difficulty finding the property but that was our fault. We took a wrong turn and ended up in narrow country lanes.
It was a delightful country property.

South AfricaThere was no mirror in the bedroom which meant going to the bathroom to do hair, make-up etc. The curtains need to be attended to as the pulley out of sight and they have been pulled apart which means they do not now close properly.
My breakfasts were very good. Do not eat meat so they did provide what I had asked for. Website did offer "continental breakfast" or full English but apparently that is not correct. Loved the location in the countryside and all the farm animals.

United KingdomThere was no indication given that there was a locked gate at the entrance of the property, I got to it and there was no indication how it worked. I tried to phone for assistance, but there wasn't any signal. It was supposed to be sensor driven, but my average sized car didn't trigger these sensors going in or out. There were some buttons on some posts either side of the gate which DID open the gate. I wasn't impressed that I wasn't told of this security gate or how to use it.

Lovely warm welcome from Carol. Exceptionally friendly and helpful - we felt at home and welcome the minute she opened the door. Lovely vegan breakfast, beautifully presented. Thoroughly enjoyed our chat with Carol & Bob before we left. Beautiful location, out in the countryside with windows overlooking the grounds. Fabulous setting..
