Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The church bells ring every 15 minutes even through the night. The key box is in a strange spot and a little difficult to find especially when the parking warden pounced as we pulled up. One of the toilets still did not flush even though reported previously in other reviews. The owners phone is unavailable if you try to call them. The owners do not respond to messages sent via booking.com which is a first for us . The windows are filthy, the garden needs a good tidy up and the whole place needs a good deep clean. This would transform the place
The location is very good very near the high street. The bed was really comfortable.

The two bad things we found for us was the settee badly needs either changing or reupholstering as it is just far too low. The WIFI dongle is useless and cannot cope with having the television on at the same time as your mobile phone or laptop.
Location was perfect for walking into Bourton on the Water.

Expected more basics- shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee ( have spent the last 3 wks travelling in Europe and these are considered basics). The windows and back yard were dirty . It was awkward to change the booking - very easy on booking.com but not so easy through Sykes cottage. The bells at the church - even knowing about them- if the windows are open ( which they were as it was warm) you can hear them every 15mins 24hrs per day. Broken light bulb, broken washing stand.
It was comfortable and well located

Just a couple of small things that could have been better, the dining room chairs were quite uncomfortable, there wasn't a toaster although there was a grill, no full length mirror in any room.
Location was excellent. Just a few minutes walk to the village. The house was very modern & well equipped overall. Very clean.

Whilst I agree the property should be left in the condition you find it (tidied / dishes washed etc) I found the instructions to strip beds a little much. Also the instructions to empty dishwasher a little impractical as check out being 10am it’s a bit tight if you want to have breakfast before leaving.
Beautiful well kept property in a perfect location to explore the Cotswolds

- • Family with young children

NO WIFI - The wifi "supplied" is via a small mobile data dongle. However, the apartment is in a mobile/4G blackhole, so it does not work. Not even a little. A technician was sent out twice, who just restarted and repositioned the dongle (which we had already done), but it had zero effect. We were left cut-off from communicating with loved ones over Christmas, and couldn't even use any streaming services on the TV. Most stressful was having to go into town to do an internet search of the closest A&E hospital address, when our toddler had a medical emergency.
Good size apartment in a good location

The beds had no mattress or pillow protectors - not very hygenic ! We would have at least taken our own pillows had we known. Took some time and a kind neighbour to understand how to open the electric gate.
Great location, very comfortable & stylish property. Pleased we were able to access the property before 6 pm on a Sunday when nothing was open in Bourton on the water. Milk in the fridge and a packet of biscuits were nice surprises.
