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 KingdomPoor shower. Sharp edges on the shutters on inside of the windows. I tore skin on my forearm on one in the corridor. We hat we had to put the heating on when we got there so it took ages to heat the house up.
Comfortable and roomy accommodation. We loved the log burner. Very well equipped kitchen.

United KingdomA few areas in the cottage need a bit of TLC- paint work etc. Toilet seat needs fixing. Double bedroom also has limited access at the bottom of the bed which may be an issue for those with mobility issues. But overall a lovely place to stay and we would definitely recommend it to others.
Lovely cosy, well equipped cottage in great location. Brilliant to be so close to access for the beach and the coast path to Arbroath. Easy to access lovely Lunan Bay too.

United KingdomDog friendly and even had little dog bowls and other cute doggy touches. The cottage was equipped with everything you could need and more. Decorated simply but beautifully and very warm and cosy. The wood burner was a gorgeous touch which we loved having on at night with the feet up and a film on. Location was amazing. Situated in such a quaint little village with quick access to a stunning pebbled beach. Also super close to larger towns like Arbroath and short drive to Lunan Bay and other great locations.

United Kingdomwe found the couch very uncomfortable and it is showing signs of use it’s a pity because it’s the centre of the living area which is otherwise lovely, a new couch would be a great asset.
very clean and well equipped, although it’s not got a direct view over the cliff it’s proximity to the cliff path and numerous walks makes it ideal for walkers and dogs, our rough collie loved it .

United KingdomThe cottage was very cold. It was missing the promised kindling so we were unable to light the wood stove and the panel heaters took some time to warm the place up. The many cold hard surfaces didn't help and some throws and a rug in the living area would have projected a warmer atmosphere. The microwave wasn't functioning and despite the kitchen being part of the living room there was no extractor over the hob.
The location was good for access to beautiful Angus beaches and glens. The cottage was clean with thick clean towels, clean bed linen and warm duvets.

United KingdomThe couch wasn't comfortable, maybe a little change required there. No fire lighters and cut logs were too big for the fire. These are minor things to suggest some improvements. We still loved our stay and captured some brilliant photos.
Loved the location and self check in. The cottage was clean and modern style.

United KingdomNo issues at all.
Lovely cosy cottage. All the facilities we needed. Comfy beds, nice shower. Stove and some logs made evenings in front of the fire lovely. Location is only a few miles from Arbroath, and situated on a costal walking path. Lunan beach is stunning and just a few miles to the north, highly recommend checking it out.

Lovely location, a short walk to the beach and to the local restaurant. Modern cottage with large kitchen and well equipped. Nicely decorated. Cleaning products provided. We didn't need to light the fire, but we put the heating on briefly and it was very effective. Binoculars were a nice touch. The shower is great.
