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 KingdomThe walls are very thin, so noise from other guests was a nuisance. Thankfully on my stay everyone seemed to have early flights so it went quiet at half 10. I was in room 3, the guests in room 2 left without making a sound. The Welsh women in room 1 were a different story, shouting at 06:45 and making a huge amount of noise. It's a shame because the property is lovely.
Absolutely beautiful room, the bed was exceptional, so comfy and the bedding was great quality. Decorated to a high quality with very nice furnishings. The toilet with a sink built in the top was brilliant.

United KingdomWe only saw a guy who told us which room we were in. He was helpful regarding where to eat our evening meal. The breakfast was less impressive, there was nobody about. Lots of choice of cereal but no muesli. Some of the packets were just about empty. Hot drinks aren't offered. Toaster was efficient but only white bread was available. The milk bottle & jars etc could have done with a wipe over as they were really sticky.
Room was excellent. Newly decorated. Clean & comfortable, they've made a good use of a small space. Ideal for an overnight stay.

United KingdomThe shower tray filled up very quickly; maybe a drainage thing.
Location was perfect (although I may have struggled if I didn't have sat nav). It was clean, warm and comfortable. Quiet and private. The car park was full but there was no noise at all. I arrived quite late but they made it super easy for me to get in and provided me with everything I needed to know. I would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe property had very creaky floorboards and thin walls. Our room had an outside light just by the window and the blinds didn’t shut completely so we had the light shining into the room all night. Also I didn’t have a shower in the morning because it didn’t turn on. It was only after I’d finished in the bathroom that I saw a switch above the bathroom door that hadn’t been turned on. It would have been helpful if this had been switched on before our arrival as you’re not thinking straight at 4:30 in the morning!
The staff were very friendly Location was excellent for Bristol airport. Although we didn’t have breakfast there was a lot of choice It was adequate for one night and a very early morning flight

United KingdomThe outside light was on all night and quite bright in the room. A blackout blind would be useful. The bathroom is tiny but very usable. The sink is built into the toilet cistern. It's a creative way to make the most of a small space up it meant the toilet lid would not stay up.
The room was very clean bright and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. The bed was comfortable. It is close to the airport. A help yourself breakfast was available.

FranceIt's an old cottage so not as soundproofed as modern hotels. The sink above the toilet is a bit awkward to use.
The Cottage is really convenient for the airport great for early flights. It's an easy walk to the airport. The room was comfortable and clean, perfect for an overnight stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Short walk to nearby pub offering food. Walk was along a dark country road, but there was a footpath for most of it and the hotel provided torches to use.
