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 KingdomLeaving the puppy!! Thats all!!
Everything! Hosts were lovely. Nothing was a problem! They're definitely the type of people that would do anything to help if they could! So friendly and just generally wonderful people! Wasn't far from town centre/beach. Park just at the bottom of the road. I'm so glad we found this place! Rooms were amazingly clean! I run a cleaning business(back home) and it worries me sometimes staying in hotels b&bs etc, but honestly it was immaculate! I was impressed! Will definitely come back to this guest house. Couldn't fault it 1 bit! Extra points as they had a new puppy!! He's the best! Much love to these guys ❤️

My whole experience was a lovely one. The host was very kind and helpful, breakfast was good although not much in terms of options but the fresh fruit salad was excellent to start my day with. The room and bathroom were very clean indeed and the place has a warm, homely feel to it and the hosts did put a lot of effort into making the place nice.

United KingdomI don’t think it could be improved.
Everything about Willow Dene is excellent. The managers have an eye for detail that means the place is immaculate, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The rooms have all been refurbished to an excellent standard creating a warm, well organised homely environment. Room refreshments are well chosen, linen is high quality and beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is excellent and even the coffee is Costa! No expense spared or corners cut in providing true quality. The staff have great inter-personal skills. Yes, I loved it!

United KingdomBy way of note, NOT complaint, the water pressure in the shower is a little low, perhaps, but it was perfectly adequate.
From the moment I walked into the property, first impressions didn't disappoint. It felt clean, cosy, & welcoming. Willow Dene is well located for the park and North Bay area, but it's only a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and facilities of the nearby South Bay area, too. Super hosts provided a lovely breakfast with plenty of choice, but I opted for the cooked breakfast, and you'd be hard pushed to find better, and I liked the nice thick cut of locally sourced bacon. I can't fault my room; it was clean, comfortable, had everything I needed, and I slept well.

United KingdomThe people above us would get up extremely early, which would wake us up. We could here them clearly when they went to the toilet, which was quite a lot, and the floorboards creaked but this could not be helped. Next time I would suggest top floor as would definitely go back.
Location was great to get everywhere. They could not do enough for us. Even got a fan for our room to help me a menopause women. Our shower was stuck on very hot the first day, which meant we had to use another rooms shower but they fixed it very quickly, great service.
