We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe narrow drive to the rear of Londis where the private parking space was located, which we used daily with private gate to the rear garden. There was on-street parking available out front. If you didn't wish to use the car, it is only a 5 minute walk to the train station and bus stop.
Post Cottage is well equipped with comfortable furniture to the conservatory and lounge and very comfy beds too. We loved the position with The Silver Hind (good food) to one side and a Londis to the other side. A Co-op and pharmacy etc was also close by and the New Forest Deli and butchers were a short walk up the road. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

United KingdomLovely little 3 bedroom house with garden in Sway. Clean and modern inside. Walkable to a playground, small co-op and a pub next door (we didn’t use the pub but it looked lovely). We hired bikes nearby and went cycling with the kids on easy tracks in the New Forest. Parking is on the street outside or opposite near shops which was fine. Fabulous stay.

United KingdomJust make sure you close the dishwasher door firmly. I thought I'd put it on the night before we left. I only realised my .mistake the next morning and so the cycle hadn't finish by the time we left. Sorry!
We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. The house was light, airy and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well-equipped and even had a few basics for cooking (oil condiments etc). The beds were comfortable and there was a good shower. Lovely, quiet location with a great pub nearby serving good food.. We would definitely return. Highly recommend.

The house was really easy to find and in a great location next to a lovely pub and across the road from a handy Co-op. Very easy walk to the train station. Good to have allocated parking but there was street parking too. Beautiful house, really clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a comfortable stay.
