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 KingdomWiFi wasn’t great in the room, worked downstairs. Phone signal wasn’t great either- but that’s a local thing.
Really old and quaint property and the local area too. You can walk to the local Pub- The Griffin. Rural location. Very quiet.

United KingdomNot much hot water for a bath. If you don’t mind this, it’s perfect. And probably completely fixable if you let Jane know in advance.
Jane was lovely, a really attentive host. The rooms were beautifully characterful - the Old Rectory dates from the 14th century! Everything was clean and welcoming.

United KingdomThe lighting whilst getting ready for a wedding was not ideal but the property is old. Breakfast was ok but the yoghurt upset my stomach - not sure how long it had been left out as there was no one in the property and we were left to fend for ourselves
The property is very old but has character. Plenty of space in rooms and bed comfy

United KingdomThe only down side was the shower. The roof was so low that you had to sit in the bath to shower. But, I could live with that.
It was a beautiful building in a nice quiet location with a nice pub nearby.

United KingdomMy only issue is my height regarding the washing facilities in the room, I'm over 6ft and being a very old property headroom in the bathroom wasn't the best. But not a big problem
The property was as described a lovely old rectory. The owner was very helpful and accommodating for individual needs. Breakfast was simple toast, fruit, and cereal with plenty of drinks. No need for a cooked breakfast.
