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 KingdomCumberland house was perfect for a weekend away, ideally located in the centre of Sherbourne. The room was warm and welcoming and very clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Our Host Sandie was great and could not do enough for us. Breakfast were freshly prepared, very tasty full of local and home made ingredients and Sandie was extremely flexible to fit in with our plans. Overall a great stay and we would happily go back .

United KingdomThe parking area at the back was a bit difficult to find in the dark. There were a lot of steps down through the garden to the back door. Quite steep steps up to the bedroom.
An attractive house close to the town centre, with lots of interesting art works. Sandie made us feel very welcome and looked after us well. The room was comfortable and warm, and double glazing kept the traffic noise out. Breakfast was delicious, especially the artistically displayed plate of fresh fruit, and the extensive range of home made jams. Plenty of information about local attractions.

United KingdomNothing to complain about. Host contacted me beforehand about a boiler breakdown and gave me the option to cancel. I decided to go ahead and Sandie made every effort to mitigate the problem, and she succeeded admirably.
Superb host and accommodation. Very helpful host, a delicious breakfast, very clean accommodation and good quality bed linen. Highly recommend.

United KingdomSandie was so very welcoming and wonderful. It was such a delight to share her beautiful home and company. Breakfast was both delicious and a work of art. Talking me in to find her on a dark wet night, helping me park and carrying my bags in was beyond expectation, but much appreciated after a long day at work. Thank you - I'll definitely be back, and have already recommended to others :)

United KingdomNothing to dislike
Sandie was extremely friendly. Lots of little extra touches. Fresh milk and chocolate biscuits in the room, homemade jams at breakfast, fresh fruit platter and excellent cooked breakfast. Very short walking distance into town. Sherborne is a lovely little town with nice shops and plenty of pubs and cafes. Easy to park at premises.
