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 KingdomOnly negative for us was the pillows on the bed were very flat but that’s it.
The property was lovely and has everything you needed. The breakfast items were a nice idea and Gareth our host was friendly and helpful. Lovely being so near the canal and cycle route. Would stay again

AustraliaThe mattress was hard, old and springs poked into me. Luckily there was a spare mattress down stairs which I put over the old mattress. The old hair drier is falling apart at the end. It looks so old I wonderIng if its electrically safe ?

United KingdomSomewhere in the accommodation description a cooker top is mentioned and the user manual is there, but there is only a microwave. The crockery is limited but very clean! However, with a bit of thought we managed, without ready meals or takeaways and had a lovely holiday!
Unique little cottage in ideal location. We had the best night sleep ever on a holiday, due to the double glazed, well fitted windows, the firm but comfortable mattress and the not too hot covers for the time of year.I was impressed, how well my special requests (because of various medical conditions) were taken into account! The Manager is living next door and the owners are Professionals. A toilet upstairs and downstairs was very useful! We did not know how the "Free Breakfast" would work on six nights. Now we realise that the items are left in the kitchen on arrival and if more is needed during the stay you can ask for it

United KingdomThe weak points as I'm sure you know are the sofa, and the downstairs TV. The back of the sofa will not stay upright and has to be wedged against the stairs. The downstairs TV picture quality is very poor, and can't receive any BBC channels. The parking is very tight but manageable.
