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 dinner, breakfast was quite nice and the view from the restaurant area is quite amazing. The food has some amazinf taste and people visiting from South Asia will not be disappointed. It would be good that besides chutneys, pickles are also served which go very well with parathas. However, they could have a better bar area with a fireplace like a lounge and not just a counter from where drinks are served.
The desserts - a lot of work is required and needs massive improvement. For example, the chocolate cake is not good with the cake very grainy and doesnt have the decadance that it should have. Same with the Tiramisu - if someone has never had tiramisu in their lives and orders what is given as a Tiramisu, they will never order Tiramisu again. The dessert chef should really get some training or should be replaced by a chef who can actually whip up some nice desserts. Also, variety in desserts is recommended like moose, tarts etc,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent visit. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the dinner and breakfast offerings, as well as the beautiful view from our restaurant area. Your kind words about the taste of our food—especially from a South Asian palate—mean a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about including pickles alongside chutneys with our parathas. We also value your honest comments regarding the bar area and our dessert selections. It’s clear we have some opportunities for improvement, particularly in enhancing the ambiance of the bar and elevating the quality and variety of our desserts. Your observations about the chocolate cake and tiramisu have been shared with our culinary team, and we are already looking into ways to refine our dessert menu and training for our pastry chefs. Feedback like yours helps us grow and improve. We truly hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future to experience the improvements firsthand. Warm regards, Sales and Marketing

Verified reviewWe loved the pool and the view. The cottage was lovely and we loved that none of them overlooked each other so it felt very private. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Everywhere was clean and tidy.
The roads/driveway up to it were rough, which we weren’t prepared for.
Hi Celine, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the pool, the views, and the privacy of the cottage—it’s great to know those special touches made your stay so relaxing. Our team will be delighted to hear your kind words about their service and the cleanliness of the property. We really appreciate your note about the driveway. We understand it can be a bit unexpected, and we're looking into ways to improve access while still preserving the natural surroundings. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards, Imeldah K.

The location is nothing like advertised on the website - far from it. Do read the fine print - rooms have a shared living space.. which is fine if you expect it! Food.. so so..
