Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomHaving to pay the high breakage deposit, however the full deposit was returned on the same day we left the property.
The garden was beautifully designed, the hot tub and sauna was fantastic. The layout of the lounge, kitchen and diner made it a great entertainment space. The bedrooms were luxury. Fantastic huge bath in the downstairs bathroom. 11 of us stayed here and had so much space for games, watching a movie etc... We didn't need to leave the property to have a great weekend... Would deffo recommend and return

United KingdomWe had problems with the heating when the boiler cut out a few times. After the family had showers it turned out that the water had to reheat before the radiators got hot.
The Hot Tub was clean and was enjoyable with mood lighting in and around the house. The sauna when heated up helped to dry us off after coming out of the Hot tub and kept our towels warm and dry on the cold February evenings. Our grandaughter loved the childs playroom and exploring the different toys. The house was very spacious and had everything we needed and the large fridge with chilled water and ice maker was a real treat.

A great location and very convenient as you have M&S right next door and then Tesco within a 5 minute walking distance. The bedrooms were of a good size and very clean. The hot tub was was brilliant and very easy to function! My friends and I really had a great time and the home really exceeded our expectations.

United KingdomWe should have been told that people would access the garden to collect items from a linen store. This happened twice - they came in through the back gate which we had bolted due to small child. ( They could reach the bolt over the top of the gate}. The kitchen would benefit from more glass tumblers. We had requested a high chair and had to chase this up twice.
The house was good for our needs and in a good location for getting to places. Playroom and garden toys were much enjoyed by a 3 year old. Handy having an M and S Food store so near.

United KingdomSome of the house is tired for example the dining chairs are old and saggy the children couldn’t reach the table as the seats sink down and it was uncomfortable for adults. No mattress or pillow protectors.only one pillow per person Plates had chips on. Very basic quality cutlery very dirty washing up brush with lots of fibres on it. Grill pan was left in cooker with old fat in. Cleaners came at 12 o’clock following day to sort it but we needed to use it for breakfast so had to wash it ourselves. The house was not at the quality level we expected and the £1000 security deposit was very high.
Hot tub was good house was spacious

United KingdomThe showers wasn’t working as expected ( we hardly manage to change the temperature, because the water was either cold or burning hot) The heating wasn’t ok. upstairs was very hot downstairs so cold and in the evening I don’t think we could change this either, this was the coldest bedroom ( located in the ground floor) and living room I ever stay. In the living room we manage because when we did some cooking the temperature raised a bit and get more normal atmosphere. When we arrived I have to get in touch with the owner of the house because the hot tub was stinky and to my understanding wasn’t clean as the water was very mudy.The lady how arrived did explain to me she done it 2 hours before we arrived after some time she DID agree and change the water in the tub. After this was done I cannot explain how different the water was even after 2 days we use the hot tub ( of course everyone of us followed the instructions to take a shower before we use it) with the kids (in and out )the quality of water stay as exactly as when the water was changed - cristal clean. I cannot imagine how this stinky water on arrival can be so dirty and smelly as it was if as changed 2 hours ago. I would leave it this to you so everyone can make own consideration. Also the tub take good 24 hours to get hot because is not switch on when you arrive, please take this in consideration if you go for short break you have 1 day less to take advantage of the hot tube. Other then that the BBQ wasn’t empty from the previous visitors. In the garden there is CCTVs so you are recorded even in the swimming costume and all the time you are out in the garden.Sauna has never get hot enough and the facilities is automatically turned off at 10 pm. At last I should mention £ 1000 of holding deposit is required.The owner is asking the card details to be sent by text message.
location, communication with the owner The owner responded to my call and massages all the time and never neglected me. We had good communication!
