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 KingdomEven though it was -3 outside, owners had only turned on the lights and not the heating for us arriving so cottage was freezing and took most of the night to heat the place up. After my partner had a bath I went to have a shower and the hot water only lasted 5mins so rinsed of my shampoo in the cold water and came out quickly. Not sure what was happening as later in the day the water was warmer again. Wasn’t as clean as I would have expected, but this didn’t put us off any. There was a lot of cob webs around the ceiling and shower tray dirty. Not something that I didn’t like but a suggestion, to maybe have a laminated sign in the bathroom to show where the Jacuzzi button is. And maybe a brush and pan and mop & bucket or something similar, as hoover was broken and couldn’t wash the floors during stay, with the location the cottages are in really needed a good clean each day.
Nice Peaceful location with excellent views of the hill side. Cottage was nice inside and good sized rooms. The cottage was only a 10min drive to all the local amenities. This place is perfect for anyone wanting to escape life and have quiet remote place to chill and unwind, which is what we were after.

United KingdomNot much within walking distance as there weren't any paths or verges by the road that were wide enough to walk safely with the dog, but there were loads that you could get to very quickly by car.
We stayed in Silver Birch which is right at the top of the hill. Location was great. Was a bit worried about some negative reviews after we'd booked it but didn't need to be. It was dog friendly, great for our needs and a base for exploring. It was clean and had the basics including everything that is advertised on booking.com. such as hairdryer (in the bedside cabinet drawer), fridge freezer, washer, cooking utensils etc. Whirlpool bath was lovely to warm up in after a busy day. It would be wise to bring extra towels, loo roll and bin bags if you're staying more than a couple of days though. Washing up liquid and dish cloths were provided but there is a dishwasher if you wanted to bring your own dishwasher tablets. There is a helpful file in one of the living room drawers with contact details, things to do and places to eat. We did have an issue with electricity on one of the days due to a change over of supplier, but that was rectified on the same day. There is a coop in the town that has a fairly good selection if you're self catering. We had takeaway from the pizza place and chip shop alongside the coop too. Both a bit pricey, but pizzas were really good and you can take out or sit in. Lots of nice walks around the Loch and in Drumnadrochit. Would definitely stay again.

CanadaThe furnishings were a bit tired and the kitchen could have used more utensils, glasses, tea towels, seasonings and maybe an air fryer. Many other properties we have stayed at offered a complimentary bottle of wine or a basket of treats. We didn't like that the 2nd bedroom was small and only had 2 single bunk beds. It would have been nice if the lower bunk was at least a double.
Spacious cottage in a quiet area surrounded by nature. Lots of parking.

United StatesIn my experience a self-catered cottage such as this often has a bit of essential food-related items, such as sugar, cooking oil, seasonings, etc; this one had none of those things. Only two usable mugs and few glasses. Double bed was not very comfortable. Shower was not super clean.
The cottage was very spacious and comfortably furnished. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, appliances, etc. Washer/dryer was very much appreciated and worked great.

GreeceThere was no wi-fi connection in the house, which was inconvenient. And also, although there was a fully equiped and big kitchen, there was no kitchen table, so when we wanted to eat breakfast etc, we had to move everything to the small living room table, which was not convenient either.
The location was beautiful and we had a quick access to many wonderful places like loch ness and Inverness. The little house where we stayed was beautifully decorated and it was very clean, modern and comfortable.

The location was stunning, the property was small but adequate. Well decorated. The towels provided was a nice touch as was the milk, washing up liquid and tea towel.
