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...).

One of the top reasons we booked this place was for the washer/dryer, however when we arrived, we discovered there wasn't a dryer or a hanging rack to dry our clothes on, which was difficult. Street parking can be hard to find.
Loved this warm and cosy home! Kitchen is great. Modern and comfortable. Great location. Beds are comfy. I'd suggest the option of a baby gate at the top of the stairs, since they are very steep and the door to the second bedroom doesn't close securely.

The accomodation is beautiful! And the beds are luxurious. I had surgery while I was staying here so all the pillows and comfortable bedding was very much appreciated. Only criticism is I wish there was a bigger pan in the kitchen as we couldn't find a wok or large frying pan.
Getting entry was easy with the lock box. However with it being low down and me recently having abdominal surgery. I did struggle slightly. The key also struggles to lock the door on the inside

The mattresses weren't overly comfortable and the blinds in the master room let quite alot of light through, but we only noticed this as an issue due to having to get a baby to nap.
The property felt very homely, warm and inviting, and was beautifully decorated. It was a very quiet home which was perfect as we had small children with us. The hosts were excellent to deal and seemed really nice.

No recycling bins, rubbish was left in the garden which I’m guessing was from the previous guests. The parking wasn’t great but can’t be helped with the location of the property.
The property was very clean, the decor was lovely & it was well presented - very homely inside! The complimentary Prosecco that was left on arrival was a bonus!

If I had a magic wand I'd add a parking space but you can't have everything.
The house is a testament to what design talent and decorating skills can achieve, it's absolutely beautiful, with lots of incredible details that I kept on noticing during my stay. The sofa and bed are super comfortable, the water is always hot, the smart TV and WiFi work easily, and the kitchen facilities are fantastic.
