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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomI only had 2 weeks there.
Perfect setting for relaxing, we’ll equipped and comfortable cottage, as we like fishing it has its own lake, surrounded by the passing river, the hedgerows and trees full of birds, an oasis of nature. Taunya and Brian were excellent hosts, great company, readily available with advice on where to go and what to for a day or an evening out.

United Kingdomwe had absolutely nothing negative to say about this property
this property is beside a beautiful lake with a river running right next to the gite. the accommodation had everything we needed and was perfect for us. our hosts Taunya and Brian were fantastic. we had brilliant conversations and we were invited for an evening with the hosts which we truly enjoyed. nothing was an issue for the hosts and they were on hand to answer or supply anything we requested. we arrived after a long journey to a beautiful unexpected gift of fresh bread, selection of cheeses, butter and milk and a beautiful bottle of wine. to us it was such a wonderful sight as it left us not having to try find food for the night as we got in pretty late. I highly recommend a stay at Taunya and Brians place you certainly won’t be disappointed.

BelgiumThe location is amazing, if you're looking for a place to be away from the city and people, this is the one. It's a quite and peacefull place with a beautiful lake and nice little river. Btw the lake is full of Koï fishes and when they feed them it's super cool (24 year old girl) to see them swimming and eating. When we woke up we made some coffee and sat at the lake with the sound of the birds and the river. It's also really nice to spot birds, we saw small one's and two really big one's, it was for me an idyllic place. The two hosts were really friendly and open and gave us all the privacy. Oh and they have a nice pool even though it was not so warm the time we were there we didn't hesitated to take a swim.
