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...).

CanadaThe location was great - right in the centre of the village. We could people watch from our front window as we had our tea. The apartment was spacious. It had everything we needed and much more - even a washer and dryer. The host left us some supplies for our first day - including the makings for a cream tea.

We stayed there 3 years ago and it is still as excellent as it was then. So lovely to sit at the bay window looking out towards at the Windrush river and people crossing the bridge. It is very quite though. There are about 10 steps up to the apartment but I managed them with my disability

CanadaThe host thought of everything. There were instructions on how to operate all the appliances and electronics which is a rarity at most holiday rentals. It was really appreciated. The welcome tea was delicious and artfully displayed. It was Christmas time and there was a fully decorated tree set up in the living room. This was a fun touch and really added to the ambience. We spent a week and the apartment was so comfortable it truly felt like home. Thank you John.

United KingdomThe owners thought of everything! We arrived to a welcome pack of supplies including a cream tea. The apartment was absolutely stunning. It was clean, had everything you could need and the best bed I have ever slept on. It was in a perfect location to walk everywhere and if we did want to travel everywhere was no more than a 30 minute drive. 100% recommend to anyone planing a stay in the Cotswolds

South AfricaThere was the bonus of a Nespresso machine, pods and milk frother. The hosts very kindly provided scones, jam and cream. Eggs, bread, butter and milk were also provided. Oberon exceeded my expectations in every way. I loved my stay; nothing was too much trouble for the hosts, and the apartment had everything you could imagine. A beautiful apartment in every way. Well positioned and easy to access.

New ZealandCar parking was difficult but the accommodation does provide access to off street parking in the premise next door between the hours of about 9am and 4pm. There is limited street parking which we were fortunate enough to get after having to vacate the off-street parking at 4pm.
The apartment was huge, with a separate kitchen, large living area, dining area, separate bedroom and large modern ensuite with both a bath and large shower. On arrival, the table was set out with tea, scones, jam and clotted cream. Also provided was a block of butter, 6 eggs, a loaf of bread, 500ml bottle of milk and coffee capsules (and machine). The apartment also had a washing machine and dryer. The location was perfect in beautiful Bourton-on-the-water, with a grocery store very handy. The staff/owners were pleasant and helpful. The apartment was spotless.

ChinaThe bed and some pillows maybe too soft. Of course this is just my personal preference.
The apartment is very cosy and comfortable. Furnitures and devices are of good quality and well laid out. We especially love breakfast and reading time at the table by the window, with a good overview of the bridge and river just 20 meters away. The staff are friendly and helpful, answering all of our questions and dealing with our request efficiently.
