Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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 property was excellent. It was very clean, comfortable and the location was great. It was only a 5/10 min walk to the center of Bourton. The two parking spaces were clearly signposted. There were also plenty of entertainment in the property such as board games, movies and trivia.

United KingdomThere was an upstairs area that we weren't made aware of that was out of bounds, but no door, just a rope tied across the stairs saying " private " and it was right next to the second bedroom, my friend barricaded her bedroom door shut as she was worried someone could come down and straight into her room so it would be better if the owners made us aware abd explained why it's out of bounds and maybe put a door up to make it more secure

United KingdomMinor comments: It was a cold spell, if I was more confident I might have learned to work the boiler controls. Some kitchen roll and hob cleaner would have helped.
Just to say "Thank You" for your preparation of the house for our Xmas arrival! The tree, candles decorations, lights and most importantly for two weary travellers, the heating was On! On a gloomy dark evening this was so welcoming .

United KingdomThe front door has to be careful. The door can lock you out. My husband is loading the car on leaving. The door closed, and I was inside with the key tidying. Knocking for me to open the door as the handle can not open from outside.
A home from home feel, quiet area, an easy walk to Bourton on the water village. Facilities in the bungalow have everything from videos to board games as required and a choice how to entertain, eat out , or cook with the facility in the kitchen.

United KingdomThe duvet was too big for the duvet cover. Perhaps a king-size duvet in a double cover so it didn't fit very well.
The location to Broughton on the water was perfect. Just a 5 minute nice walk

United KingdomWe didn't like leaving. There wasn't anything that we didn't like. We would choose this place to stay if we came back to Bourton-on-the-Water to stay again.
We loved everything about it. The location was perfect, the rooms were clean, the property was tidy. It had everything that we needed. The hosts were very informative and helpful online. We didn't meet them in person.

United KingdomBeds were small. If you are not small people you will find them extremely snug. Second bedroom small. Needed cleaning stuff in the bathroom such as squeegee for the shower and toilet cleaner. Not enough toilet roll provided. Shower got the bathroom floor wet so the bathmat was not enough. Would have liked a vacuum cleaner or sweeper for the carpet as moss from the garden got trodden inside. Freezer was completely iced up and fridge door needed a good shove to close it properly.
Location great, a 10 minute walk from the village centre. 2 parking spaces. Clean and tidy. Two outside spaces, one at the front and a small courtyard at the rear. Lovely big towels, a refreshing change. Plenty of hangers in the wardrobes. Nice rainfall shower, easy to control.

United States1. The host didn't respond to our request for early arrival, so I took that as an acceptance of our request. It was very awkward to arrive and it be such a mess and stink so bad. 2. It had a horrible odor that even after they cleaned it, it didn't go away the entire 6 days we were there. We left windows open all day and night and the smell never got better. We bought spray, used it and left it. 3. There were not enough towels provided so we had to wash the laundry. No washrags were provided or detergent, either. We had to go buy it and wash to be able to have enough towels for our stay. 4, The lockbox was extremely stiff and difficult to use! 5. Nothing provided. No soap of any kind. 6. It was extremely hot in the house and the AC didn't work! There were no instructions on how to set or use the AC either, so we didn't want to try to program it and mess it up. 7. Nothing was done to make us as guests feel welcome or that they appreciated our coming to stay in their place. I've been staying in AirBnB's, VRBO's and Booking.com for over 13 years and I was shocked at how little was provided and the lack of communication. 8. Very disappointed and I would not stay here again. 9. WIFI was also extremely weak and didn't work well!
It proximity to the center of town was perfect! It was an excellent quiet location! It worked well to have 2 bedrooms. TV and TV streaming services were really great, too! It was very close to a grocery store which was really nice.
