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.).

Beautiful and cosy cottage clean and well equipped. A fabulous tranquil place to stay with stunning views. Lots of beautiful places to visit and explore nearby. Check-in and check out extremely easy. We stayed 2 nights for a wedding locally. Recommend without hesitation.

United KingdomOnly minor downside being on the ground floor is the noise from the apartment above at times. Also, it's not the most private as other guests have access all around the cottage so you have to keep blinds shut to bathrooms/bedrooms for privacy - though in fact it is quiet most of the time. Maybe net curtains would help for those rooms.
Location is beautiful, lovely gardens and views over the loch and up towards the mountains. Cottage was very well equipped, warm and comfortable. Thoughtful extras like coffee included, books and games. Very comfy bedding, hot showers and very clean. Excellent arrival information and hosts helpful. Would definitely recommend.

PortugalEverything was exceptional! Renate has been a wonderful host. The property (Honeysuckle Cottage) was charming, beautifully decorated, impecably clean. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had all accessories needed for a family meal, and we could use a washing mashine. Finally, and very important to us: the property was very quiet and silent. The forest around the house is magic. We recommend, and we will surely come back.

United StatesThere was not a single thing of which to be critical.
This accommodation was spectacularly beautiful and well priced. The rooms in the suite upstairs were beautifully decorated with gorgeous furnishings, including an actual Narnia wardrobe!! However for me, the views from every window were hands down the most outstanding part, they were simply breathtaking to say the least!!! The grounds were also incredible which included access to walking trail and a picturesque playground with rope swings and balancing rope; it felt like a woodland circus course. In our 3 weeks of UK holiday this was without doubt my favorite place to stay!!! I will definitely return on my next trip and stay for longer than 2 days.

Location is amazing, 5 mins walk from Loch Etive. Property was bigger than it looks in the pictures, perfect for the five of us. Very clean and Impressed with the efforts to be environmentally friendly even down to using bamboo toilet paper. We felt very comfortable and at ease here and it was the perfect spot for exploring Scotland.

United KingdomThe location was simply beautiful. It was at the end of the road, nestled amongst trees with views across fields, the loch and mountains. There were walks in all directions that were full of trees, animals, scenery, The property was very well appointed. Very clean. Comfortable bed. TV and DVD (with a huge selection) for any wet evenings. Excellent kitchen facilities. Lovely shower/bathroom. We came for a romantic anniversary visit and we were not disappointed. We will be back.

United StatesThe listing said there was a washer which I assumed meant it would be in our unit. Instead it was a shared washer which you had to pay for.
The cottage was nice enough (although rather dark). We really enjoyed wandering around the grounds which were lovely.

We didn't have a car, very accessible by train,just a 15 minute walk from the station. Very comfortable beds and so peaceful. But the best thing was Karina, so friendly and helpful, even offering to take us all to train station in two journeys if it was raining when we left. So kind!! Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

GreeceWe feel so fortunate to get this house! We had an amazing time there...the location, the peaceful area, the trees and flowers, even the animals...waking up in the morning and having coffee with that view! We loved our little village. The location was excellent, near Oban and the lakes, really helped our road trip. We could cook and enjoy lunch at the house. The directions were incredibly helpful and the rest information included. :) Thank you! Hope to see you again soon!

Location was very convenient for us. Family live nearby. And those of us that don’t were all able to stay at Bonawe House - we booked four apartments! It was lovely to be near one another for a big family celebration and in such a beautiful setting.
