How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It was a little out of town to be without a car and Uber wasn't very good at rush hour. But it was possible to walk 10 minutes to a bus stop and get into Bath in 10-15 minutes. We knew about the location when we booked and would definitely not have had such a wonderful place in the centre, so this is rather for info, not complaining!
Wendy was very thoughtful and provided us with fresh bread, milk and orange juice. The flat was lovingly and stylishly decorated and had everything we needed. Communication was easy and very friendly. The weather was great, so we could have breakfast in the courtyard. Really delightful!

Bath city center is around 30 mins walk from property.
Beautiful place to stay. Host is very helpful as they checked us in even if we reached late in the evening. The property is new and very comfortable. I will say a home away from home. The kitchen facilities are just amazing. Last but not the least is the welcome snack basket. It was so helpful for our next day breakfast. Road side parking is also very convenient. I will definitely recommend.

The downstairs bedroom isn't really big enough for a double bed. I would have thought in the Summer the yard MIGHT be a little small. I can't really complain as it clearly stated how far it was from the City Centre but we MIGHT reconsider the location if we were coming to Bath again but overall we were very happy there.
I thought the property was very neat and tidy. The host lived next door and was friendly and helpful and leaving various supplies (bread, milk, coffee etc) was a really nice touch and overall I felt we got more than what we paid for.

Lovely welcome by Wendy and good communications prior to arrival. Lovely welcome pack with good quality local produce, Wendy even went out of her way to provide delicious gluten free bread and almond milk for us when we said we were gluten and dairy intolerant. She also provided good quality ground coffee and a cafetière when she heard that we were coffee drinkers. She lives closeby and was always on hand to help when needed. Excellent local information provided, quiet location with private Al fresco dining area. Very clean and tidy with lovely furnishings. It was the perfect place for my daughter and I to have as a base over a three night stay in Bath.

Little Elm is like home from home with thoughtful touches. It is decorated beautifully and the beds are super comfy! The courtyard garden had the evening sun, so was a lovely place to sit. The owners are helpful and friendly. It is really near Bath itself so was easy to get into town and there’s a fab park (Alice Park) within walking distance - which has a coffee shop too ! We have family locally so will definitely stay here again!

Very thin walls. This meant that it was difficult to sleep-in past 7am in the mornings as people in the adjacent house were awake and moving about at this time.
Beautiful, clean space, separate from main home. Lots of nice touches like food / drinks stocked in fridge. Hosts were very accommodating and even provided a computer monitor for me work on.
