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 well equipped studio, well thought out. Welcoming, with homemade bread and jam, eggs, and ground coffee, as well as the usual tea coffee milk sugar. Comfortable and cosy, with an outdoor seating area away from the other accommodation, opening onto a large grassy area with a pretty pond, which has a fountain and moorhen chicks.
Nothing not to like. The hosts were very accommodating despite our late arrival.

Verified reviewThe bedroom, house and outside garden were spotless and very well decorated. The location is secluded and quiet. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was fantastic.
Unfortunately the wifi was down, but we were promptly informed about the issue by the hosts.

Verified reviewThe location was lovely and the host was very welcoming. The facilities were great, and we had some eggs, chocolates, tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and museli left in our accommodation for us
The WiFi didn’t work throughout our stay and there was no 3/4G signal either which made it difficult to find local places to visit until we left the accommodation and found some internet signal which my partner struggled with but it didn’t really bother me as it gave a good opportunity to switch off from the tech based world we all live in! The hot tub was fantastic and the location was stunning with lovely walks.

Verified reviewIt was fitted out to a high standard. It felt as if the owners had done it to a standard that they would be happy to stay in. The kitchenette was better supplied than we could have expected - e.g. four of everything even though only a room for two. And provisions for breakfast which was a surprise, including home made jam.
A night light for the bathroom please.

Verified reviewTucked away on the broads but easy to access the coast and Norwich. Our hosts were so welcoming and the little touches of homemade bread and jam and eggs were delightfully comforting. Touches like this made all the difference when we arrived on a rainy weekend.
