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 KingdomSuggest an amendment to the directions. "Bear left onto Milburn Street, then at the crossroads by The Hub, take a right turn and 2 Burnside Place will be on your right."
Accomodation was cozy. Handy for local shops, supermarket and the harbour. All was clean and in order.

United KingdomThe plumbing was a bit noisy.
The house was easy to find, comfortable and close to all amenities. There was plenty of parking close by and the house itself was perfect for 2 people.

United KingdomThe place was quite dirty, like an old house that hadn’t been cleaned very well. Also no wifi in the property. The upstairs bedroom is not suitable for anything other than if you bring your own kids as it’s accessed through the bathroom. If you had other guests up there the door is open right into the bathroom.
Location is great and was much cheaper then other properties of a similar tenure.

United KingdomThere were two televisions when we arrived neither of which worked. We managed to get one to work by swapping connections. The kitchen was fully equipped but no dishtowels or oven gloves were supplied. No bathroom towels were supplied and there was no towel rail in the bathroom. Furnishing was adequate but there were no bedside tables. The property was reasonable value but could be much better with some care and attention.
The host asks you to contact them even though there is no name or telephone number supplied. In our case we messaged through Sykes Cottage but received no reply. This does not inspire confidence. The place was warm and the bed comfortable. There are two additional beds in the loft which require you to take a chair into the bathroom to access a ladder.

United KingdomThe boiler was in the bedroom and came on and off during the night which disturbed our sleep. We couldn't find the wheelie bin we were supposed to put our rubbish in.
The cottage was in a quite street but close to the centre of town.

United KingdomThe directions were disastrous. Burnside Place is not on Google Maps and there is no road sign for it. Even the staff in the hairdresser next door did not know where it was! The directions take you to Millburn St, which is a very long road, and they need to tell you how to find Burnside Place off the street. It was 50 minutes after arriving in Millburn St before we found the cottage.
A very pretty and comfortable cottage in a beautiful town and area. There was nothing lacking in the cottage.
