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 location was fantastic- so peaceful and relaxing with just the sounds of the birds for company. The property was very clean, well presented and very well equipped with everything from a dossier of local places to visit, to binoculars to everything you could need to cook meals. The couple who own the hut were friendly and very informative while respecting our privacy when we were in the private garden area surrounding the hut. Evening local walks down the road were fantastic with hares hopping towards us and spotting deer running alongside the field.
nothing it was beautiful
Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the location and the accommodation.

Maitland did leave a malicious, slanderous, false review but Booking.Com removed it as they could see he was lying. He tried to defraud us and got found out so decided to leave this false review to discredit our clean, well maintained, beautiful accommodation. The photos on our page were taken 10 days prior to this booking which show it to be accurate. We were shocked to see the disgusting state he decided to leave it in. Photos have been taken in this regards. Dirty plates mixed with the clean ones, oven left filthy with melted cheese, sink clogged with food residue and bins full and overflowing, I could go on. In summary Maitland was the singular worst guest ever to have stayed.

Verified reviewWhere it was located, it was so remote and peaceful, tucked away in the countryside, all calm and tranquil. The unique of the hut, it was quirky and fun! Something completely different and private. There was tea/coffee provisions in the hut, we took some snacks got the evening. Well equipped with all the associated items needed, and the log fire added a warming touch. It was great to sit and look out at the scenery all quiet and still till it got dark. The sleeping hit was comfortable and very clean. The shower was great, An absolute pleasure to escape the busy world. If that’s what you’re looking for then this is the place. The hosts were helpful and very friendly
There wasn’t anything not to like. No Wi-Fi but got small burst of signal every so often. However don’t be put off the peace and quiet was well received for a chance to recharge and relax.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay & would welcome you back in the future, you were both lovely guests to host.
