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 KingdomIf you have a large car, you might find the parking a bit of a squeeze in a couple of the spaces but it is on site and free, so I'm not complaining
Good location with a quick walk to the beach or to town. Beautiful house, really nicely decorated. The lounge and breakfast room were lovely and well equipped with books, guides and games. My room at the back of the house was peaceful and the bed was very comfortable - I slept really well. There was a good variety of decent teas and fresh milk in the room. Breakfast was good quality - it came out looking like a work of art and tasted as good as it looked. I'd recommend afternoon tea and cake too :-). The staff and my fellow guests during my stay were all lovely

We stayed here for a long weekend, and it was delightful experience from beginning to end. The house is elegant and beautifully furnished, light and airy, and this sets off the fantastic artwork in every room (created by the owner and family we understand). Parking is easy and we were greeted with a warm welcome. The room was extremely comfortable, light and pleasant, with fresh milk, coffee and tea. Lovely bathroom with fabulous shower and soft towels. Breakfast was simply heavenly - fresh, zingy, delicious and healthy with copious quantities of hot coffee/tea. And on top of all of that, the guest lounge - what an indulgence! The weather was foul during our stay and we spent a few hours here every afternoon slumped on the huge sofa in front of a roaring log fire with tea and delicious freshly-made cake supplied to us by the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Pure joy! Thank you so much for making our stay so perfect.

On arrival we had our bags carried to our room, complimentary homemade delicious cake and tea (which is available throughout our stay). Our room was perfect in every way. Bathroom had robes provided alongside huge and plentiful towels and lovely land and water toiletries. Breakfast was a delight with plenty of choice and beautifully served and presented. The staff are all truly lovely, not intrusive and exude happiness as they work. The Sandy Duck was a gem of a find in a great location and we enjoyed everything.
