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 KingdomIt was fine but the shower was separate to the room and had to be shared. Everything was clean and lovely. We left at 4am so was fine for what we needed .
It was perfect for our stay which was short but perfect for the airport.

EstoniaHaving windows to the street (at least 2 of 3 rooms) makes it very noisy in case of open windows (which is unavoidable for hot summer nights). Also, the noise from neighboring rooms is well followable. There might be a larger fridge for guests to storage their food/wine/beer - the mini-fridge only keeps cold the minimum milk and cheese.
The Cottage is a nice option to spend a night before the flight from Bristol Airport - about 15-20 min walk from the Cottage. The path from the Airport Tavern bus stop is a bit rough, not all the way pawed, but doable. There are 3 rooms in the Cottage, on the 2nd floor and a commpn room with fridge and food downstairs. Very friendly and helpful host/staff.

AustraliaChosen for location. Near Bristol airport. We had a very early morning flight. Not noisy. Planes go in on other side of airport. But the Cottage is not close enough to walk to the airport. Fortunately our hosts also run an airport car shuttle business from the premises thus it was easy to have shuttle car organised for us early the next morning. Bedroom basic but clean and bed comfortable. The smallest ensuite ever ! But hot water was taking forever - if ever - to come thro for a shower b4 we left - no time to wait thus we put all that on hold til we got to our next destination after our short flight. Somethings can wait ! Hosts friendly and helpful. DIY Basic Breakfast laid out for those that wanted it downstairs.

United KingdomToilet seat is too small and moves a lot, ended up taking it off for safety. Noisy with people coming back in early hours, must be very thin walls as you can hear snoring etc but wouldn't put me off going back.
Really comfy bed and lovely room, parking at the site is great and only a 15 min walk to the airport. Would definitely use again, lady that greeted us was fab and very helpful.
