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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThere was nothing at all I didn't like, very happy..
The location to everything we wanted to see, the room was lovely and the bed super comfortable, the host was so welcoming, and the delicious hamper breakfast was perfect. I really appreciated real milk and enough tea and coffee for more than 1 cuppa per person, which is usually what other places do.

Such a pleasant surprise to find this little gem - great location (friendly pub only a 3 min drive away) & quiet surrounding grounds, spacious and cosy room with sunlight coming in both windows, tasty breakfast delivered outside door

AustraliaGreat room in a beautiful part of the world. Short drive to Lulworth and Durdle Door. While part of a lived in home, the room and bathroom had its own entrance and offered plenty of privacy. The host was lovely and provided some tips on places to eat and go nearby. The bed was out of this world comfortable and the breakfast hamper was a lovely touch.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!
The property is so beautiful. We had everything we needed in our room and it was nice and warm in the evenings (we were worried it being February!). The room was spacious and the bed is so comfortable. A breakfast hamper was delivered to our door in the morning (very quietly!) and it was delicious. The location was perfect for us - we went to Dorchester for our first night and got a takeaway on our second night and spent a day at monkey world. We met the hosts who were so lovely and welcoming and made us feel so comfortable.

LithuaniaIt would be nice to have something salty for breakfast, like cheese, but all in all, everything was great. Thank you for your hospitality ❤️
Even if we didn't meet our hosts in person, we felt very welcomed. Everything was very clean, the spacious historic rooms were beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was great. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast and the best coffee I have ever had in England!!! We were both sorry we didn't book more nights, so we would love to come back!

United KingdomPillows were lumpy but not too uncomfortable. The bedroom was adjacent to a "B" road running past the property, which was busier than one would expect and the fast traffic was easily discernible. We only met Tracy and Martin as we were getting in our car to leave so, while a pleasant and enjoyable stay, it would have felt more welcoming to have seen them during our overnight stay.
The very spacious bedroom included a table and chairs, kettle with tea, coffee and sugar, and plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery. Breakfast was delivered to our door in the morning in a basket containing a good continental breakfast which we ate in our bathrobes (supplied) at the table. Separate bathroom had a large shower. We were greeted upon arrival by very friendly hens!

United KingdomThe bathroom needed a simple lock or sign to indicate in use, occupied. Whilst the room had its own front door and staircase from the farm courtyard, the bathroom was separate to the room and was across a landing that had doors adjoining from the main farmhouse that appeared to be locked and private. However when using the toilet or shower it was difficult to feel 100% confident that someone wouldn’t walk in on you. A simple lock would have taken care of this.
Lovely location, friendly owners, helpful, caring. Product was in great condition everything felt new and to a high standard and classy. It had character and was cosy too.
