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 reviewThe outside pool area is so beautiful and the fact that I could leave my patio door open was a huge bonus.
Parking might become a problem if the guesthouse is fully booked.

Verified reviewSpacious room with a nice shower. The bed was very comfortable.
Not being allowed guests but with it being house sharing it’s understandable.

Verified reviewThe quiet peaceful solitude. The rustling leaves during the night of the palms amd trees by the pool. The beautiful, rustic ambience made me feel like I was living in London during the 17-18th century. All I required was a lady's maid🥰🥰
I miss the pond and little bridge.
Dearest Gaylene, thank you so much for your wonderfully poetic review, we absolutely loved reading it! Your words truly capture the quiet charm of Goblins Mead. It means the world to know that the peaceful garden, the soft rustle of the palms at night, and the rustic ambience made you feel as though you’d stepped back in time, with just a hint of Downton Abbey flair! If only we’d had a lady’s maid waiting in the wings! 🥰 Goblins Mead has always been a special place, a little hidden haven where guests can retreat from the world, slow down, and reconnect with a quieter, gentler rhythm. We’re so glad that essence resonated with you. As for the pond and little bridge, they were indeed much loved features, and we’re truly touched that you miss them. Sadly, due to maintenance challenges, we won’t be restoring them, but their spirit remains part of the garden’s story and charm, and now, part of your memories too. We do hope you’ll return one day to enjoy the stillness, the leafy whispers by the pool, and all the character that makes Goblins Mead what it is. Kindest regards, Brett and Rosi

Verified reviewThe location, the decor, the staff and very clean place!
Found the pillows a bit hard. On the first night fellow guests were very noisy but that is not the proprietors fault . They do have house rules but some people don’t abide by them which is unfortunate.

Verified reviewLoved the interior of my bathroom. I felt like a queen. Adele was super friendly too, such an awesome host. Only got to see (Rosi) I think the other owner. He was feeling unwell but still took the time to meet n greet me. That was another huge highlight, speedy recovery too!! Lastly the housekeeping staff extremely polite and friendly..Goblin Mead felt like HOME!!
The stay was too short , I should have stayed longer haha
