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 KingdomThere was nothing really we didn't like. It was a really lovely, friendly experience overall.
The owner of the property, Katie, was very friendly and introduced us to her pony Jack and sheep Gary. She showed us some nearby trails to walk if we fancied exploring, which we certainly did. Beautiful area and lovely spaces for country walks. There was a small delay when we arrived and the place wasn't quite ready, however this was no issue to us as the owner was very apologetic and entertained us in the meantime. Her partner also brought us a lovely bottle of wine as an apology. So, nothing affected our trip negatively.

United KingdomHaving to check out!
The cottage is beautiful inside and out. The decor which incorporates fresh new plaster with the original timbers and stone work is just perfect. The facilities are all fantastic with everything you need for a comfortable stay Bed is ultra comfortable. I never sleep amazingly when on a business trip but last night was exceptional! Everything has been really well thought out, plug sockets have been installed next to the couch, WiFi works well and the smart TV with on demand services available was fab. Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom was a nice addition too. Who doesn't love a showeroke session! Easy to find, great parking, quiet location, warm, meticulously clean & comfortable. Thank you for a great stay. I'll look forward to coming back soon!

United KingdomOnly recommendations would be to have a different duvet cover than a fluffy one. I have allergies and this type of material irritates them, it’s also really warm to sleep in! Maybe a couple of tea/coffee/milk sachets near the kettle and little body wash in the bathroom would really help and would reflect other Airbnbs at this price range :)
The property was stunning, better than the photos! super comfy bed, warm and everything was new and clean. It’s so quiet in the area you couldn’t hear a pin drop at night. Really relaxing! Hosts were really helpful and left us some treats thankyou so much. All round easy and lovely stay and would love to return here!
