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 StatesWe never did manage to get hot water from any of the sinks (although the electric shower had plenty). This maybe explained the greasy film on the dishes in the kitchen, so we boiled the kettle to wash the dishes. No kitchen roll or kitchen towel provided and no spare foil or toilet paper on hand. The couch and cushions smelled of dog.
Wonderful, quiet location down a long drive before you get to Tarbert. Instructions left inside directed us to the woodland walking path to Tarbert. A very pretty walk. Informative information on where to park and eggs for sale. Comfortable accommodations with plenty of room for the three of us.

United KingdomPerfect location for exploring the area, very beautiful part of Scotland. Some lovely walks from the cottage. Simple and comfortable cottage (perfect for us) with everything we needed and was more spacious than we expected. Nice little back garden for sitting outside. Kerry was very helpful when we asked for an extra bath mat and towel for the shower. Owner's friendly collie came in to visit a few times, very sweet doggie. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

United KingdomThe garden was in need of attention. Grass was high which I liked anyway for the little creatures but there were many big weeds on the paving. It didn't stop us from sitting out when the sun shone, but that little garden could be fabulous.
We self catered. We loved the walk down through the farm woods full of bluebells to the marina.

United KingdomIt rained constantly while we were there, and the area around the front door became very muddy - it was difficult to keep anything clean (I always feel that properties should be left the way we find them, but on this occasion, the mud got the better of us).
The property is very close to Tarbert and was ideal for our purposes. The facilities were excellent, with a cooker and washing machine available. Bed is very comfortable, and the TV has Freeview. Kerry is an excellent and extremely accommodating host, when bent over backwards to quickly help with the very few issues that we had.

GuernseyThe neighbour in the cottage to the right!! Very aggressive and abusive. Was on the verge of calling the police, but it was nearing midnight and we had an early morning ferry to catch. He blocked us in, and when I asked him if he could move his car and let us out I got a lot a swearing and abuse. He said he owned the area I was parked on, but there were no signs to say Private or No Parking. All in all a very nasty experience, so unfortunately we won't be back.
Lovely comfortable cottage. Excellent base for our week around Argyle, including a wedding in Ardrashaig, a visit to Islay and to Iona, and some trips more locally. Easy walk into Tarbet. Would consider another visit, but ...

United KingdomBed not particularly comfortable but manageable. Very limited tv channels.
Comfortable and clean. Clearly signed house and lots of car parking space provided near house. Early check in time and late check out time. No fuss from owners, left unlocked for you and not bothered at all. Had a brief conversation with the owner, friendly and helpful, when she was looking for her dog it had followed me into the house with me, but otherwise wouldn’t have been disturbed at all. Dog and cat to cuddle! Laundry available and DVDs to borrow as tv channels limited.
