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.).

IrelandThe breakfast was a little disappointing. The buffet with mass produced white bread is not a good idea. he fry while good was not as good as a similar establishment we stayed in the previous night at the same price. The same could be said about dinner.
The service was excellent. The room was lovely.

United KingdomDecor a little “tired” looking and in need of a little TLC, but in no way did this spoil our stay Nets at window would have been good to stop insects getting in room and to allow windows to remain open as room was very hot - but it was lovely warm weather at the time. Few trip hazards in bathroom, ie small step to bath but OK as long as you remembered!

United KingdomThe shower; gadget to switch hot water on took some getting used to, but once we did it was fine. No bottle of water in the room and perhaps some variety of teas would have been great, rather than just the standard. Some dust over furniture surfaces, but this could be forgiven.
Beautiful room, comfortable, excellent location, general friendliness of the staff and exceptional food

The setting is lovely , we stayed in one of the cottages which are very quaint. They are quite roomy.

BelgiumThe bathroom was quite small, but that's logical considering the awkward layout of such an old building, which also gives it its charm. A towel rail or hook would have been practical though. These are details, our stay was wonderful. We would recommend and come back for sure!
Very charming inn in an equally charming cotswolds village. Very quiet apart from plenty of birds singing and not as touristy as some other places. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Best part was probably the beautiful food (cooked breakfast and dining). Lovely garden at the back and very dog friendly.

United KingdomThe negative points. Sourdough bread incorrectly advertised on the menu. To be fair this was changed the very next day. Consumables in room not replaced. Room 11 not very well soundproofed. This is a lovely country pub in a quiet area but was spoiled by noisy children at breakfast playing loud computer games. Not the venues fault but perhaps they might at least have asked for the games to be on silent. The staff were very accommodating but not particularly friendly.
The positive things were a very good breakfast including full english with veggie option. The room tho small was well appointed with a particularly good shower.

United KingdomUnfortunately the room we opted for, which was one of the cheaper options as it was only a one night stay, had no hot water. We were informed that the plumber had been in earlier, due to a boiler problem. The lack of hot water for showering was obviously an inconvenience. Before going out that evening a quick chat with staff said if they couldn't resolve the water issue, they would put us in another room. When we returned just after 10:30pm the premises were in darkness and there was no staff about, so we went up to the room, no hot water. Unfortunately they had left a note down in reception which was in darkness, about the room we could move to, but we didn't actually see it. So obviously we would have suggested leaving a note in the room. But they did try to resolve the problem.
We only opted for breakfast during our stay. The products were to a high standard and obviously sourced with some thought to quality. (Stornaway black blackpudding)

GermanyUnfortunately, while we were staying the weather was very cold. We had a room in the stables but we couldn't get the heating to work in the bathroom, so taking showers was more invigorating than desired. The breakfast was fine, but not really as generous as you'd hope for in a country pub.
The location is wonderful, exactly what you'd want for a short trip to the Cotswolds. The staff were also good.
