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 KingdomThe toaster only had one crumb drawer , no flat trays to go in the oven so you couldn’t do oven chips or bake anything.
Most of the things in the cottage was very good . The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable, it was quite & that was good for my 96 year old mum, she slept so well. Thank you Peter

United KingdomCommunal bins were far away...not great for the elderly or the disabled. TV remote broken and battery required in the clock....not important issues for us but just a thought.
Great location and well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage. Lovely facilities and so relaxing and peaceful. Deck chairs and picnic bench on the decking...nice welcome basket thank you. Nice bedding and towels and lots of hangers and drawer space. Washing machine and drier if required. Parking for 2 cars and space on the grass too

United KingdomThere were no recycling facilities and a lack of dog poo bins.
It was in a lovely location. The week was so relaxing and there were plenty of walks in the area. Fantastic welcome pack.

United KingdomExternally, the windows and doors were covered in cobwebs (not sure if that is a 'local issue', as many other properties had the same problem). Internally, the windows needed cleaning, and there were some stains on the carpets which could have been cleaned.
The location was superb, with the property immediately on the marina. The Welcome pack - was just that - very welcome! Thankyou! The cottage was well stocked with cleaning products as well. Locally, Latham's Supermarket was a delightful 5 minute walk along the marina and stocked just about everything you could wish for.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like. Everything was excellent. The only little niggle we had was hoovering under sofa, dog lost ball under there and was very dusty, But apart from that great .
We love the broads and stay when ever we can. We love the fishing and the peace. Accommodation is great that makes it good, everything we needed.

United KingdomSo peaceful and relaxing by the water. I have a child in a wheelchair and access was great inside & outside. So well kitted out. I did take a parasol for use on table on decking as I hadn’t seen one in photos, which we did need to keep little girl in the shade at all times. but everything else there we needed. Already booked for next summer!

United KingdomThe property was obviously of a high specification when it was built, but some fixtures and fittings are a bit tired, but the owners have a schedule of improvements and the main bathroom has already been renovated. The tumble drier and washing machine are welcome additions to the kitchen. The heating is controlled by the owners and whilst they were quick to set up a suitable schedule for us, I would have liked a bit more control. The pillows and duvets are a bit insubstantial and the mattress a bit old school; having said that, I had a very sound sleep every night as everything was so stress free.
The property was much bigger than I imagined it would be and being able to park right beside it was an absolute bonus. I loved being on the water and, as a mature couple, the unfenced access to the water was excellent and made spotting the visiting otter that much easier! I loved that the property was dog friendly, as it's so hard to find places like these that are. Whilst you are in a quiet environment, surrounded by wildlife and walks, you're a very short walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. It's also a very quick and easy drive to beaches, like Horsey Gap with its seal colony

United KingdomWhen we got there it needed cleaning so we did it ourselves, the toaster as I found out only had one tray underneath so the crumbs came out on the counter, the carpets in the bedrooms were stained & really for what you are paying for I think this is unexceptable, I am bringing my 96 year old mother with me in September so hopefully we will have another good week.
Was a brilliant location, the beds were amazing slept soooo good.
