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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewIt’s beautiful and spacious and perfect for families. We have a disabled family member and there is a downstairs bedroom with a large, on suite wet room which is fully equipped with everything required for disabilities. I love the private patio area with a shared, luscious garden off it. The whole place is just so so lovely and I will never stay anywhere else xx
Nothing, it’s fabulous xx The only thing that could make it better would be to have a few tea,,coffee and sugar sachets, a broom, dustpan and brush so I can clean up. Xx

Verified reviewPerfect for us, quiet and rural feel but within easy reach of Salisbury city centre by foot or by bus from the nearby stop. Managed to do all the city sights and also get out to the New Forest without a car. Great value for money and the cake was divine!

Verified reviewThe property was tastefully and comfortably decorated, and very clean
The main bedroom bed was a little firm for me, but the owners very receptive to a conversation about it.
it's harder to please those who pay the least. You got a bargain because of a glitch in the booking system but instead of cancelling the reservation, which we could have done, we've honoured it. you paid £168 for a three bedroom cottage on a Saturday night in Salisbury. With a kitchen, lounge, garden, patio, parking, wheelchair accessible bedroom... After commissions, cleaning, energy, linen and various costs we really don't have much left. You gave us low score for location which you chose... and for staff. I'm not sure what you expect from staff at a self catering cottage. Is it not not obvious from the nature of our business that you won't get any? A mattress hardness level is a personal preference but for some reason you think everyone would benefit from your own preference.

Verified reviewThe front door was unlocked and the keys were inside the property, when we arrived, which was good. We were a little early, but everything was ready for us, including the delicious sponge cake, which didn't last long. The property is spacious downstairs and ample upstairs. The location is secluded, but close to the city and nearby convenience stores. Richard, who was looking after the site, was very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this property.
Everything suited us. We lacked for nothing, so can't recommend any improvements.

Verified reviewAll the facilities were good, great to have soap, washing up liquid, good cooking equipment, towels etc. Everything you need in a comfortable cottage.
The walls were very thin and I could hear the people in the next cottage very clearly.
