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...).

Tv very small and had to get closer to tv to see what was on the channels as the guide was very small writing. Floor very creaky so made me feel I needed to creep about during the night to use the bathroom. Toilet took about 5 mins to stop flushing. Was a really cold icy night but was very cold in the room during the night.
Value for money, breakfast included, quiet location, parking availability and friendly host.

Many floorboards squeak - I got woken at 4 am on the first night by my neighbour visiting the bathroom. (The 2nd night was fine.) I was surprised to be asked to state my breakfast requirements the night before.
Very clean. Excellent shower pressure. Friendly welcome. Ample parking. Flexible on breakfast time which was good as I needed to be away fairly early at the weekend. The fresh fruit salad was a nice addition to the usual breakfast options.

I booked a double, but got twin beds. The room was clean, but the décor is a bit tired. One other guest remarked on it, but I think its more homely than boutique.
I've stayed before and the breakfast is always excellent. Free parking just outside the door.

There was no one to let us in when we arrived late afternoon, no reply to 3 different phone numbers. The resident neighbours had to overcome our entry problem. We were told to help ourselves to breakfast by a resident but told by the cleaner the next morning there is no breakfast available despite cereals etc being evident and tables set.
Clean comfortable room, ample parking space, good shower, small fridge in the shared kitchen. I'd be happy to stay again, probably go round the back and let yourself in.

No sound proofing between the rooms so all you need is a noisy/inconsiderate person in the next room and it would definitely put a damper on things

We loved our host and the professionalism of the property. Bob cooked us a delicious breakfast to order and actually fed us the best scrambled eggs of our 3 month holiday. Free parking on site just a few steps from the entrance. A Very quiet and peaceful location and close to The White House pub where we had a great meal. Both establishments were independent and owned by locals. Bob was great to talk to and gave us lots of tips for things to see - which we are in the middle of following through on!
