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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewVery clean spacious and well appointed room. The provided products (soaps, shampoo, lotions etc) and food were appreciated. Bed is very nice and comfortable.
Property is located in a lovely residential area but be aware, there is no retail within walking distance. If you’re looking to walk to restaurants and shops, this isn’t the place for you.

Verified reviewPeaceful and quiet, very private. Clean and comfortable bed. Little extras, too.
Not crazy about the pillow type, but made do.
Dear Heather, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the peace and privacy, as well as the comfort and cleanliness of the suite. We’re also glad the little extras were appreciated! Regarding the pillows – thank you for the feedback. For future reference, we provide two types on the bed: ergonomic support pillows and everyday comfort pillows by Endy. A third set with a different firmness is also available in the dresser below the TV, so guests can choose what suits them best. Thanks again for staying with us!

Verified reviewAppearance was amazing, lovely new comfortable
Not enough hot water for the bath-it turned cold 1/2 full. We didn’t find out until the morning that there was a button to turn off the heater temp light which was very bright all night. The toilet has no visual block to the garden outside so anyone could also look right into the bathroom and no door to shut out any other person.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Hot water: We're currently in the process of upgrading the water heater to one with a higher capacity and BTU to ensure a more comfortable experience for our guests in the future. AC/Heater light: We understand how the light might have been bothersome. We encourage guests to message us directly if they encounter any issues so we can resolve them quickly. We also proactively reached out during your stay to ensure everything was comfortable and to offer our assistance. Privacy: We take privacy very seriously, and we’ve provided a lightweight wooden room divider (located behind the library) to enhance your comfort. It’s mentioned in the house manual for easy reference. Additionally, we prioritize respecting our guests’ privacy by ensuring no one walks through the backyard, so only the birds and raccoons might catch a glimpse of you! 😊 We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
