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.).

Stunning location, huge amount of space in Granary Cottage and outside, felt safe, secluded and relaxed. The property was clean, well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. Owners friendly and available but also let us have our space. I would highly recommend and would certainly return.

United KingdomLoved everything
Very cosy, much larger than expected. All the amenities we needed plus more. Owners were very pleasant and attentive without being too intrusive. The large outdoor area was great for the kids and woyld be amazingduring the summer months. We made use of the games available to borrow. Kids loved playing with Bailey the dog. Christmas lights and decorations added to the festive feel. We visited the Polar Express, Woodsman Inn and Big Sheep Little Cow whilst here, everything was within about 10 minutes drive.

United KingdomThe cottage was too warm. We had to turn the heaters off a few times. Not greatly equipped e.g. no pizza cutter or dish washing sponges, very small wine glasses. Minor things really though!
Very cosy and comfortable and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Beautiful location, lots for kids to do. Friendly owners.

United KingdomClose to a US air base which the wife didn't like much but I thought was great watching the jets fly pass.
The cottage was amazing and the owner so helpful and nice. The duck roaming around freely was lovely and so were the fresh eggs in the morning. Free to borrow games and dvds was a lovely touch.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. Not one little thing. All good.
It was very cosy and comfortable. Everything you need is in the property. It was a lovely relaxing environment. I have stayed in a lot of self catering properties but this one was one of the best. Brilliant value for money. Very clean and homely. A lot of thought has gone into the facilities and the comfort of the property. I could not fault it. Great location. There was an informative manual in the property explaining how the heating worked....how the cooker worked....what was in the local area.etc etc ....they also left you a number for their landi line and mobile in case you had any issues....which we didn't. They have chickens and ducks and fresh duck eggs and hen eggs even bantom eggs are available easily for you to purchase. So we had fresh eggs for breakfast every morning. Do yourself a favour and book this place. We loved it and will definitely book again as we go to bedale often to visit family. This was just down the road from our family. We like oiurown space so this was just perfect. If you have small children there is even a fairy trail !!! 😆
