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 reviewBeautiful home and very comfortable and very quiet.
Location was two miles out of town, which isn't a major issue unless you're hitting the pubs hard, in which case you might want to stay at a B&B in town.

Verified reviewIt was indeed a beautiful and spacious apartment in a lovely setting - bedding comfortable and warm, good kitchen facilities, wifi, only streaming services available. Owner responsive at all times. Lovely village.
From our reading of previous reviews, we gained the impression that the apartment was within walking distance (~1km) from Ramelton; however, it was ~3 kms from the village, making it difficult to walk to Ramelton along a narrowish lane with no footpath. Also, despite fine weather, we were cold, especially in the mornings. The thermostat placement consistently indicated that it was 25°+; the heating was set to come on if the temp fell to 20°. There is no carpet in the apartment, only marble-like tiles. We had a problem locating the apartment as no signage on gate.

Hi Anne Marie. I just read your review. I am so sorry you weren't able to contact me. I don't understand why, as I have no missed calls or messages. I will always try to reply immediately to any contact from the apartment. I was not aware of there being a problem with the shower and will have it checked immediately. Apart from this, I hope you enjoyed your stay at our apartment. Janet

Verified reviewSpacious. Quiet. Easy parking next to door. Easy access with door code.
Instructions on how to find the property need more detail. A post code was given but our Satnav could not find it. Just to be told if it was on the left or right and to give a landmark outside the property would have been really useful as we ended up driving up and down the road. Advertised as having a flat screen tv and I thus presumed there was access to tv. There was not. Only able to access Netflicks when we wanted tv and news. There were a few things missing. No bath mat in the main bathroom left us using one of the towels. The towels were also tiny! The kitchen had no cloth for the sink to wash up. We had flown in for 2 days with hand luggage and so hadn’t packed anything like that. It made washing up very hard. All the windows were closed on arrival and Reed diffusers were throughout the property filling it with a very strong scent. As an asthmatic this severely set this off until we aired the property and gathered up and removed the Reed diffusers. There are no carpets in this property and the floors were cold. A few rugs would make it more homely. The entrance to the property is via a utility room shared with the owners who live downstairs. It the leads to the rental up a flight of stairs. There is a doorframe at the base of the stairs but no door. Whilst the owners did not encroach upon our space the noise of them using the utility room and the washing machine did encroach upon us. A door needs to hung on this doorframe to give more privacy. Provision of some coffee would be welcoming. Teabags were there but coffee jar empty with dust crumbs and not refilled.
Hi Fiona, we are sorry that your stay with us was not as enjoyable as hoped. We will aim to address some of your issues below - We will add some additional directions to the welcome text, in case any other SatNav's can't find the postcode. - We understand that some guests prefer the broadcast channels to the complementary Netflix. We'll clarify this in the property description to avoid this misunderstanding happening in future. - We leave a new sponge for each guest instead of a washing up cloth as we believe it is more sanitary. For the same reason, we provide washable rugs in the bedrooms but prefer not to have carpets/rugs elsewhere. We do supply bath mats as well as large and small towels. - There is a reed diffuser in the hallway of the apartment. We haven't heard any complaints from guests before but we'll take it on board. As for the windows, we air the apartment but keep the windows closed prior to guests arrival so the apartment is warm and cosy. We don’t supply beverages although sometimes guests do leave tea/ coffee for the next guest. - We'll update the property description to state that the utility room is shared. Thank you for your feedback! We would always encourage guests to reach out during your stay with any issues so that we have the chance to resolve them.

We had some trouble with flushing the toilets and no communication on getting into the property in which we had to stay elsewhere for one of the nights
Very unfortunate, Cathy didn't receive our welcome text with all the apartment details. There was some sort of mixup in the contact details.
