How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Musty smell from bathroom - not sure if drains may be a problem? This would not stop me from staying there though.
Very convenient as central Bristol with parking. Pleasant lounge area, and kitchen facilities and equipment were excellent. Well furnished and very clean. Very comfortable bed. Very quiet (we were there before students returned).

Fantastic location, central to everything in Bristol. Lovely host and felt like home. everything is provided and very good value, a quiet location with secure parking. Private courtyard and ensuite, well fitted kitchen area, provided all the cutlery and crockery, basic condiments and generally a lovely comfortable layout and furnishings. Will definitely be back.

You could park through the gates so the car was fully secure. It felt like you were away from the city as it was off the main road and yet everything you wanted was within walking distance p. You could walk to the city and walk the other way to the suspension bridge which is a tourist attraction and well worth a visit. It was a large cottage and the bed was very comfortable

Slight smell of damp in the bedroom and bathroom, and the wardrobe was too short for dresses.
Well laid out with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. Close to the centre and Clifton Village, which both have shops and restaurants. Gated so felt very safe and secure. Very quiet and the host was very responsive. Excellent Wi-Fi and a big TV. We only stayed three nights but I would happily have stayed longer.

The shower head wouldn't stay in position which made showering a little awkward. We couldn't get the main oven to work but that might have been down to us.
A real gem. Tastefully furnished, comfortable and well set out with everything you might need. Great location with secure parking. Would happily stay again.

We weren’t sure about where or to how to park but that was the fault of booking.com not passing our details on. There are two low planting troughs which look amazing but made turning around in the space difficult (albeit we were in a rental car that was much bigger than we had realised); I wonder if these could be moved.
Amazing location and facilities and a very friendly and helpful host. Super comfortable bed and excellent value for money.

Everything worked out well.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious and tastefully decorated and furnished. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cleaning products. The location is perfect - easy to reach Bristol but close to Clifton and 5 minutes walk to the bus-stop. There was very little noise so great to get a good night's sleep. I would stay here again!

Not a criticism, more a suggestion - a lot of Airbnb’s provide a small welcome basket which we always greatly appreciate. Although there was tea/coffee provided a small bottle of milk would have been very welcome.
A lovely self contained unit in the grounds of the owners property containing everything you could need. Not only is it in a great location, it comes with parking which can be a nightmare in Bristol. We arrived early & although the cottage was not ready for us we were able to leave our car. The owner met us upon our arrival & was very friendly & helpful. I wish we had found this property at the start of our daughters degree & not the weekend of her graduation.

Would be perfect if the room heating is not on timer control. It can get rather cold once the room heating is OFF. Especially during our visit, it's raining on most day and night.
It's a very comfortable place, just like a home
