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 KingdomThis property is something different to your usual. You start with an arrival through the gates and up the white tree lined drive. The actual accommodation is behind the main house. It is an open bedroom, kitchen and sitting room. You can stroll around the gardens and sounding area. It is quiet and peaceful. The friendly couple Sally and Brett that own the accommodation live in the main house. The town is ten minutes away and because you are not directly in the town it is easy to move on to your next accommodation without getting stuck in traffic.

New ZealandA minor issue was the TV (sports channel was playing up, we wanted to watch the Super rugby and NRL)- but the owners offered for us to watch their one inside.
Easy to find, safe - down a lovely driveway. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Beautiful self-contained unit - with everything you needed. Was close to where we wanted to go (Field Days and University). Continental breakfast provided was ample, with a great selection. Lots of space and fresh air - highly recommended.

Two lovely bedrooms and two full baths! This living quarters were in such a beautiful home. We wished we stayed longer. The animals on the estate were a treat and super cute to drive by. Very clean, had all the toiletries and kitchen equipment you needed. Very nice owners as well! We would definitely stay here again. It was about a 5-10min drive to the city Center.

CanadaBest to have a car to come here.
This is a large property and therefore very quiet. We were given the room in the front, and woke up in the morning seeing cattle (cows) grazing the field about 20 yards away! Pretty amazing. Bedding excellent (premium), and breakfast is help yourself in the kitchen. Furnishings are very nice. Best of all, car is parked right outside the entrance and there are no stairs hence minimal lifting of luggage. Host gave us recommendation for dinner at restaurant nearby and it was quite nice (otherwise difficult to find).

FinlandWifi connection was quite poor, at times non excisting.
A cozy cottage in a beautiful garden surrounded by pretty countryside. We were warmly welcomed and given good advice for our stay by the friendly host couple. It was nice to have basic breakfast items in the fridge at arrival, hence no need to rush to find a supermarket but instead a nice dinner in a nearby restaurant recommended by our cheerful host. The cottage had everything we needed and we felt immediatelly like at home. The lovely Molly dog, the handsome black cat and the neighbouring cows were all bonuses. Amazing Hamilton Gardens and the pretty Cambridge are both worth a visit.
