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 KingdomEverything perfect really not sure if there was a shower fan in our ensuite which caused to room to mist up even with the window open. However, this did not affect the use of these facilities.
A wonderful relaxing stay, Tina & Amanda offer a standard of service that is often not seen in this type of establishment these days. We did not use our car at all during the time we stayed, lots to do and see in the area, we shall be back should we visit Swanage again, and as for Breakfast, it was exceptional, cannot recommend Swanage Haven highly enough!

Tina and Amanda are wonderful hosts who can't do enough for you, are very knowledgeable about the area, and provide a "home-from-home" environment. The rooms are immaculately cared-for and ours (on the top floor) was very spacious. Bear in mind that this is a house with various size rooms and check before you book - Tina and Amanda will always give you an honest description of the rooms available. Breakfast was superb - couldn't fault it. Plenty of choice and cooked to perfection. Parking is sufficient for the number of rooms, but be prepared for the possibility of being blocked in if you park in the driveway spaces which are end-to-end rather than side-by-side. We parked on the road without any issues in the peak holiday season, so no bother. If you want a comfortable, clean and fuss-free holiday with friendly hosts then look no further. Tina and Amanda will do all they can to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable.

United KingdomCould do with a full length mirror in bedroom or bathroom - though there was one just outside the bedroom door so it wasn't too much of a problem.
Clean, comfortable, stylish room with large bathroom. Breakfast was excellent - great quality and plenty of it! Good location with short walk to beach and town. Friendly and helpful owners who are doing a great job.
