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 reviewThe cottage was really lovely and private. Attached to the main garden it’s safe and large enough for a few people. The hosts were lovely and checked I had al I needed. Great close to walk to the cafe and basically in the main village street

Verified reviewLovely, clean cottage with lots of original features. Outside seating areas in the garden. Quiet location. Contained everything needed for a short break.
It would have been nice to have a sofa in the lounge - the place itself is fairly small and I appreciate it may be a squeeze. The four tub chairs did the job.

Verified reviewIn the main part of the town, handy for shops, eateries and PUBS overlooking the Avon river ⛵☺️
The small staircase in the house didn't have handrails from halfway to the top. I am slightly disabled and struggled going to the toilet and bedroom, otherwise enjoyed the cottage and lovely garden too. 👍

Verified reviewIt was a beautiful and cosy cottage with parking and had everything we needed. And Mark was a star as we had some parcels being delivered and he helped manage these and went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Verified reviewWell-appointed, comfortable home from home. Cosy cottage with period features. Free parking on site. A short walk to the centre of the village, the river, shops, pubs etc. Quiet and peaceful, lovely gardens and patio spaces to eat outside. Mark was very welcoming and helpful with local information.
Nothing...a great little base for a couple of nights exploring the Cotswolds.

It was a bit more cosy/cramped than we expected, but it was warm, cosy and all good.

Verified reviewVery clean little cottage (phew!) set in Fosbroke House's very pretty garden. Location is good, very quiet at night. Met Mark - very friendly host and clearly a great gardener! Bidford on Avon is cute and quirky (and just on the doorstep - literally a minute walk, if that), and The Bridge is a lovely place for lunch or dinner, overlooking the water and apparently Saxon bridge. Alcester is a short drive, and is a wonderful little town, and Stratford is an easy drive too. Coughton Court and Hanbury Hall are 2 nearby National Trust properties, and there's lots of walking opportunities close to hand if you're that way inclined. Would stay there again if we were in the area.
Because of the size, the living room chairs are a bit compact in design, but not enough to bother us too much. Overall it's not enough to detract the many benefits and positives of this cute cottage.

Verified reviewCharming, authentic little cottage in a convenient location.
The furniture was very dated. Uncomfortable chairs in the living room and an uncomfortable mattress. Very squeaky doors. The carpet and furniture could use an upgrade. Compared to other accommodations we stayed in, we had higher expectations for this budget.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic with so many local amenities. We came for a specific event and the travel time to the event from the cottage was less than 10 minutes. It was a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to book again. If you like watching birds then there is no better place to sit out in a morning. So many of our feathered friends were around.
Nothing to write here. All was wonderful.

Verified reviewExpected a quaint traditional quirky cottage and it was just that! Interesting cottage lots of character.
Was a struggle to see numbers on key box as no light by the door. The 4 bucket chairs weren’t comfy in the living room, bathroom tiny, but out of date inside but clean throughout.
