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 reviewGreat location, a few terrace streets away from the station and the town centre so it was very quiet. The property was very clean and well presented.
It's a bit awkward being in somebody else house even though he was very welcoming and pleasant.

Verified reviewLocation was very good for the railway station and the town. Very nice and comfortable house in a quiet road.
A full English breakfast maybe, but it isn't that sort of accommodation. You sort that out for yourself.

Verified reviewSuperb comfortable bed and well decorated. The host goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable.
No tv in the bedroom.
Hi James. I thank you kindly for your review. This helps us learn and continue to get right what we’re doing. We’re sorry you found it disappointing that there is no tv in the bedroom. We do offer our living room for guests to watch tv and relax. We also do have a projector in the guest room, which is extremely easy to connect to your phone. Allowing you to watch and stream a large selection of channels. Unfortunately we are not able to install A tv in the room due to a number of factors. 2 bring the Aerial and plug socket are not in a convenient location to allow comfortable viewing. We sincerely hope this didn’t impact your stay with us too much. As for our location. Unfortunately we can’t do anything about that. We have no choice but to leave that aspect to our guests when researching the area and where they wish to stay. Although it be a safe, quiet and leafy area just a 5 min walk to the amenities of Hale village and just a 10 minute walk to the larger town of Altrincham where the transport interchange offers trains, trams and buses to the city of Manchester and the wider area. And the wonderful independent food scene of Altrincham market.

Verified reviewI travelled with my teenage son for his year 10 work placement. Richard not only made us feel at home, but went out of his way to make sure that we had the best experience. We stayed there for a week, and came back with an experience that we will cherish for a lifetime. First of all, Richard's house is extremely beautiful, clean and tidy. Be it the interior design, or his level of attention to detail, it instantly lifts up your mood and transports you into a different world. Richard is extremely friendly but also thoroughly professional when it comes to the service that he provides. During our stay, we cooked our own food (Richard's kitchen is Alice's Wonderland). You will have the best culinary experience in Richard's kitchen Thirdly, Richard's sense of aesthetics is impeccable, but hes not the tortured genius artsy type who keeps to himself. He's very resourceful and an out of the box thinker when it comes to problem solving. I had to attend a program and needed a few safety pins. Guess what, magic man Richard had safety pins too. Last but not the least, you will have a great time with Richard's cats, Timmy and Marmalade. But let me warn you, Timmy is very territorial, extremely protective of his daddy. Marmalade on the other is the kindest cat ever. My son really enjoyed the cats. Richard's place is only 10 mins walk from Altrincham tram station. Commuting to Manchester City centre is very easy. Richard also guided me to visit nearby attractions like Dunham Massey Dear Park.
Honestly, there's nothing that that could have been better, and I am just being honest. This was the best homestay experience that I've had, and I intend to go back again in Summer.
