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.).

The location is ideal for exploring the local area, provided you have a car. The Kennels were beautifully converted and furnished, well-equipped for a short stay. Clemency and Lennox were warm and welcoming hosts and our tour of their farm was a highlight of the trip for all the family.

MaltaEverything was fantastic - from the cleanliness of the place, the facilities, there was wood available for the stove, charcoal for the BBQ.
This is an incredibly beautiful place. The setting is idyllic. Quiet, beautiful. Fantastic views of Bass island and the sea from Belhaven pod. The owners of the place were extremely lovely. They left eggs from the ducks on the farm for us as well as chocolate bars and cheese. We were arriving late at the property and they left the keys to the property in an easily accessible place and the lights on for us to get into the property without any problems. Extremely thoughtful.

United KingdomThe eco lodges are set in a slice of heaven. You look out to the most beautiful views of sea, fields and mountains as far as the eye can see. The owners, Clemancy and Lennox, could not have been more helpful. They are extremely kind and were on hand to help with anything at all that we needed. The lodges are small but perfectly formed. We stayed with our 2 small children so although it was cozy, there was enough space for us all to be comfortable. They are immaculate and very well built. There is plenty to do in nearby Dunbar, Edinburgh is 20 mins by train and there are lots of walks to do on your doorstep. A truly memorable stay.

We had a brilliant time staying here for 3 nights - we stayed in the Base Rock pod. We are a family of 4 - kids 8 and 12. The pod is a good size and really economical with its space. We slept in the main bed and the kids slept on the sofa bed which is really comfy and really big. The pod was super clean and all the equipment and appliances in there were in really excellent condition. It was warm when we stayed there but the POD has under floor heating so should be really cosy in colder months. The views from the pod are amazing (fields and sea) and it was great for the kids to go out wandering safely and watching things like deer cross the fields. The location of the pod is great - really close to Dunbar (10 minutes), North Berwick (20 minutes and a fantastic place to visit) and many other places and villages. Loads to do round there and lots of amazing beaches. its about a 50 minute drive to Edinburgh (which we did) and you can also get a train from Dunbar which is fast (c30 minutes) and pretty cheap. The hosts (Lennox and Clemency) were brilliant - in the pod waiting for us were milk and eggs (from their chickens and ducks which were amazing). They gave us excellent directions and guidance on how to get there and access the pod, they shared information on where to visit and eat and on the last day they took us and our children to see the animals they keep on their land. They were really generous with their time and the kids had a brilliant time. East Lothian is a great place to visit and we really cant recommend this place highly enough - we will definitely be back
