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 KingdomFridge and freezer were not working properly. Kitchen a bit dilapidated but usable.
Lovely location at the top of a hill in a quiet verdant area. Great views over Bath. Handy for getting to Longleat. Spacious bedrooms. Nice garden. Great bathroom with a view and waterfall shower.

IrelandIt could have been cleaner but thats an issue you get with a lot of holiday homes I guess.
The house is lovely and private and has everything you need for a stay! Its very close to the centre - within walking distance if you don't mind the big hill you need to walk up to get back to the house. The hill also means you have a fantastic view across Bath so totally worth it in my opinion. Ed was very nice and made sure everything was okay for us.

AustraliaLoved our stay in Bath! The property is incredibly spacious which was a treat after staying in hotels and was perfect for our needs. The owners allowed us to use the car park before check-in which saved us from having to try find one in town. The property is up a hill so it can be a bit of a hike if you are walking but this didn't bother us. The views were also incredible. Would stay again!

United KingdomFirst bedroom bed was found to be uncomfortable. If you used the sofa bed - no curtains on one side in the room. Could do with a deep clean. Dusty and extractor fan very dirty. Still stuff in bins.

We loved the little extras around the house. My grandson loved the little animals in the garden and the elephants in the lounge. The property was perfect for our stay, comfortable, clean and easy access to everywhere we needed throughout our stay.

United Kingdom(* as mentioned above... Bathroom ceiling needs a paint) + TVs were tiny, and the smaller bedroom would benefit from a bedside tale/ unit + lamp on BOTH sides of bed).
(* The toilet flush is a little 'suspect'/ weak at times, and the ceiling needs a paint.) Otherwise the bathroom was great, and body wash, soap and shampoo were provided. :-) The flat has character, nice furniture and milk, coffee, tea, condiments, spare key and parking permit were all provided.
