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.).

Polandno Wi-Fi (wouldn't mind, but there was also no mobile signal)
- spacious - clean - great amenities, top-level glamping standard (stove, fridge, en-suite shower, dining area, TV) - good heating, which made a cold rainy night enjoyable - located in a lovely remote farm, but only a short drive from Wick - our dog loved it too

United KingdomI wouldn't say I didn't like it, although it was a challange to share one toilet and shower with few people as one of our pod had shared bathroom facility. It wasn't a problem, it was just taking a bit of time.
Very relaxing and stunning location, quiet and cozy. Comfortable sleep, specious pods, definitely worth a stay! :) It is easy to find and great location from attractions. Dog friendly which was massive advantage for us! I like privacy of the place as well as pods are greatly spaced out. One of our pods was deluxe pod and it had everything needed for stay.

United KingdomWe'd prefer a toilet in the pod but we got the last pod and it was the one with a shared toilet. Although the facilities were very good and clean.
Easy to find plus clear instructions so we were able to settle in while the owner had to be out and she came to see us as soon as she got back.

Very friendly welcome from Jenny, who invited us to also see the sheep being sheared. No check in as pod was ready with our name on the door - this really suited as we weren't sure when we would arrive and knew we would be leaving early to catch ferry. Jenny also showed us the best places for swimming in the early evening. Pods are small but great for overnight ing. Spotlessly clean and comfortable.

United KingdomLovely spot, and a great location for the Gill’s Bay ferry to Orkney. Everything was as described, with a friendly welcome and all we needed for our one night stay. The pods are well set up & spotlessly clean, and the shared facilities are close to the pods, which all have great fire pits. We enjoyed having a fire & making s’mores as the stars came out.

The pod was cosy, clean and warm, the kitchenette was very handy. With 3 of us plus the dog, We could have easily stayed for a week and not felt too enclosed. Jenny and James were lovely and welcoming. There is a lovely little beach about 4 miles up the road where we let the dog have a good run
