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.).

Linda and Johnathan coudnt have been more helpful and attentive. The acomodation was beautiful, comfortable. Lots of little extras to just make our stay lovley. Everything was spotless. The breakfast was fantastic. Again Linda and Johnathan bent over backwards to meet our need. Linda even offered me a lair of shoes (I had forgotten mine) for the wedding we were attending. I loved how quiet it was at night, I easily slept with the window open. All the facilities we needed and wanted, and those not seen were offered. Beautiful gardens.

United KingdomEverything was great, from the homemade cake and biscuits to the sausage and black pudding. A very nice property with a lovely garden.Located in a nice village with a couple of pubs within a 5 min walk and a 5 min amble to the train station. Linda and Jonathon made us feel welcome on arrival, nothing was a bother to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing place to stay with great links to York, Harrogate and Leeds.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like, even our travel stresses were taken care of 🤗
Great location, easy regular access to transport into the city of York and surrounding villages. Linda, Jonathan and Penny the wee dog made us feel like friends, their hospitality and attention to detail was excellent. We had a great choice and variety of freshly cooked breakfasts for vegetarians too, including home baked bread, croissants and sausages. Nothing was to much trouble, whether we wanted plant based milks, freshly brewed coffee or just a bowl of fresh fruit and yoghurt ❤️ The rooms were spacious, quite and spotlessly clean with a really comfortable king-size bed where we both slept better than we'd done for a long time. The room had tea making facilities with fresh milk each day and plenty of hot water for showers each day. There is the option to sit in their a beautiful garden, or take a walk to some great little pubs, which we thoroughly took advantage of. We hired a car, which was really problematic but both Linda and Johnathan were so helpful in suggesting alternatives, and even drove me to collect the vehicle the next day. Our stay was so good we didn't want to leave and have made a preliminary booking for when we return in a few months. Thank you so much for making our first stay such a memorable one, we look forward to seeing you both again real soon.

Before we even arrived I had a message from Linda & Jonathan letting us know that they would greet us to show us where to park. We were greeted with smiles & offered us tea & homemade chocolate cake, which was delicious! Our room was amazing with an ensuite shower room, a separate wardrobe/dressing room....plenty of storage. Tea coffee making, homemade shortbread. A stocked fridge with wine water & beer....a nice touch. Well, breakfasts .... Homemade croissants, & so much choice. All delicious & a great start to the day.

United StatesThe location was perfect - a quick walk and 6 minute train ride to York and easy getaway to the Yorkshire Dales. Jonathan and Linda made everything easy, advised on our travels and provided passes to the minster which we would not have otherwise seen. Linda made provisions for a gluten free breakfast - key! It was a lovely stay.

IndiaEverything was so good that it's difficult to say if I did not like anything, however, for the sake of describing it I would say that since rooms are on the first floor, you may not like the effort needed to lug your luggage. My room was a bit small compared to other rooms there so yes it was a bit cramped up with two suitcases, but not to the point of complaint at all.
Everything from the surroundings to the hospitality and comfort not to mention the out of the way conveniences and help offered by the hosts. The property has a very good ambience and a garden which gave comforts of staying at home. The owners of the property Linda and Jonathan were extremely friendly and made us feel at home the moment we checked in to the property. It's about 15- 20-minute drive from the railway station. The room was spotless with great decor and crisp bed sheets. The breakfast was delicious and provided with personalized attention by Linda and Jonathan. My wife needed medical help and fetching prescription/medicine from a nearby locality difficult to walk up to. The hosts promptly offered us their help and insisted on taking us in their car. They also rendered valuable guidance on the city including printed details with handwritten explanations which made our life much simpler. Not to mention the super friendly dog Ms Penny. The locality has both train and bus connections from York city stops for which are at walking distance from the property. Overalll, we had a wonderful stay in this lovely property.
