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...).

Easy to collect keys, everything was perfect from arrival. Cottage had everything we needed, there was one main bedroom and shower room downstairs and one upstairs, which gave two separate families their own space to shower and sleep. Toys left for children, the weather was perfect so was able to have a bbq in the warm weather.

United KingdomHonestly - nothing.
Mistletoe Cottage was perfect for 6 adults offering spacious living and sleeping space, whilst maintaining a cosy feel. The immaculate walled garden was a perfect space to enjoy the unusually sunny April weather that we had. The cottage's location was perfect for getting into York City centre, with a 30 minute bus ride, a 2 minute walk away. Finally, we were really appreciative of the provisions that our hosts left for our stay. I can honestly say that we have never been left that much on a self catering stay! We will definitely be visiting again

United KingdomEverything was lovely.
The host had included all we could possibly need and everything was of high standard. The location was in a quiet village with friendly neighbours. We used all the bedrooms and all had very comfortable beds, one being ensuite and the other two were served by a shared shower room. The comfortable sitting room and kitchen area looked out onto a beautifully kept garden and patio area with furniture. We had beautiful weather so were able to enjoy the garden every day.

Mistletoe Cottage is an utter delight, a little oasis in the fast paced life we live. It is so charismatic, cosy and comfortable. We couldn’t wait to come back to the cottage having explored York in the daytime. Jayne is so welcoming and helpful. The cottage is so well resourced and there are so many unique areas in the cottage suitable for all the family. We loved playing dominoes at the table and waking up to the cheeping birds. It was so sad leaving but we hope to be back soon. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

New ZealandLovely little town, 30 mins from York. Local pub delivers amazing bugers and roast dinners, we'd definitely stay again. We actually had a sudden illness resulting in a hospital stay. Jayne was so understanding when we were no longer sure about dates, etc. We really loved our stay, and appreciated their kindness.

United KingdomAmazing location for visiting York. So cozy and comfortable. We had absolutely everything we needed for myself, my partner, two teenage boys and my parents. It was the perfect size. Slept like a baby. We used the park and ride into York which made it stress free visiting the city centre without worrying about parking etc. we enjoyed some of the board games in the evening. So so cozy and quiet. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you for having us! We will be back!

Belgiumno complaints.
We only have good things to say about this cottage: it has room, it has all the amenities, it has a charme, and it was extremely clean & tidy. Completely equipped kitchen, 2 bath rooms, spacious rooms with lots of storage space, car parking in front, a quiet neighbourhood, a nice small garden out of sight from the street, ... The cottage is packed with information of things to do in the vicinity. There's a small supermarket at a 5' drive with very good opening hours, and you're very close to big roads leading to York (15' to the nearest Park & Ride) and surroundings. All exchanges with Jayne were very pleasant and warm - you can feel she really wants you to be at home there.
