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 KingdomThe only thing I struggled with was the cut out of the mattress I felt like my head was falling through the gap but it wouldn’t stop me returning and others like me who have that problem can just slide a little down the bed not a problem
Our stay here was amazing, the owner mark coudnt do enough for us I had emailed previously about some things and everything was ready for when I got there & he even decorated the cabin for us. Location is also great very accessible to york itself but far enough out the way for it to be lovely and quiet. It was so amazing I can’t thank him enough hope to be back very soon

United KingdomHonestly i cant find a fault at all!!! It's just to good
We absolutely loved it here!!! Perfect hot tub in the most amazing private little garden, the hut was wonderful, so clean and well decored, the bed was divine!!! It's so warm and comfy. i have never slept as well as i did last night!!! (I dont settle properly away from home) When we came friday, it was really windy and raining, but that didn't stop us from getting in the hot tub with a glass of fizz!! In fact, i enjoyed the hot tub more in the wind and rain it was so relaxing!! We spent the day in york City Centre, which was lovely wr went on the bus and got of at picadilly we got two return tickets which cost £7.20 Bargin cheaper then a taxi! we have been recommending here to friends, and we have booked it again for April 2024!! We can't wait to come back!!! And Mark, the owner is absolutely lovely!! Someone you can have a good bit of crack with, couldn't be anymore lovely and helpful if he tried! We had an issue using the electric cooker i messaged him, and he was straight to us to show us how to use it!! He had no guests checking in and told me there was no rush on checkout. Thank you so much, Mark, at Bleak house farm, Cant wait to stay again.

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike!
We had such an amazing two night stay in Alice’s garden. So comfortable and cozy and immaculately clean. Everything you need to instantly start relaxing on arrival. The drinks and biscuits were a lovely touch.. hot tub is fantastic and the garden itself is so pretty with plenty of seating areas and beautiful cottage flowers.. lighting the fire pit is a must. We were even lucky enough to get a lengthly visit from the resident peacocks. Mark the host was very friendly and helpful. Even offering us an early check in and late check out! Do not hesitate to book.. with only an £8 Uber ride outside of York it’s a must.

United KingdomThe hot tub was lovely but on our second day it smelt fusky and unpleasant. Although the owners were lovely they didn’t talk to us about the property on our arrival. It would have been better if they had explained how to keep the hot tub fresh, ( it’s a wood burning one) we realised that you have to put tablets in it daily other wise it does smell. There was no instructions, which is ok if you know what your doing and have a hot tub of your own, but if your very new to it then people might not know what to do.
Nice and quiet, peaceful location. Clean and very well stocked up with utensils and crockery. Comfy bed and lots of TV channels to choose from. The fridge had water and soft drinks at no extra charge 👍👍. The two peacocks are fabulous. The owners are really nice people, pleasant and polite.
