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.).

The only possible thing we could comment on was it would benefit guests if the name of the property was more visible if possible as it was easy to miss

Helen was such a lovely lady, her breakfast and special yogurt starter was amazing. She was very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. She recommended several different types of eateries as well as places to visit. The property was homely and very comfortable.. I would highly recommend this B&B

The location and service was perfect, I cannot fault a thing. The owner ensured any needs we had were met and offered the best spread of food and variety at breakfast, regardless of how early we had to leave that day for our friends wedding. The room, and surrounding area exceeded expectations, all in all was a perfect stay and accommodated us for returning late and so on.

We upgraded to a bigger room (Henley) at extra cost which was a disappointment,there was dust and cobwebs on the centre ceiling light,the two big windows on one side of the room had condensation inside the double glazing which look unsightly as they had blown, there were filled holes in the plaster wall adjacent the TV which had just been left rough ,there was a electrical twin socket adjacent the TV which couldn't be used as it was very loose ,there was also one bedside lamp with no bulb in when the bulb was replaced we had one bright led bulb and one old filament bulb a lot dimmer
Helen the host was excellent in all respects, she made sure we wanted for nothing,The whole breakfast scenario was excellent.

We have stayed here before and everything was up to the usual standard, especially the breakfast which has so much choice. Room was comfortable and a good size, with a small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities available. Helen was very welcoming and nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and the bonus is that dogs are positively welcomed too.

Breakfast was excellent. Food lovely, service great. Helen was a very considerate host and she made sure that everyone's needs were catered for. The rooms were well equipped with everything you could want - a fridge, milk, boxes of tissues, etc. Towels were changed regularly and bathrooms cleaned. Definitely a home from home.
