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 cottage itself is lovely , really like a home away from home . From the moment I booked this cottage the owners have always stayed in touch and made sure we had all of our questions answered ! The cottage provides all the facilities you need , when arriving you receive a small welcome basket and a handwritten note ! i would say it is one of the best places I have ever stayed at . The cleanliness is at no fault. will deffo be back !! Thankyou for a lovely stay

United KingdomThe only thing is i wish we had more time to stay as a 15 minute drive in the other direction is a town called Wigtown, famous for its book shops. Hopefully we ll come back and have a visit to it.
Great location to local shops and to explore the forests, around 15 minutes drive to the start of the entrances, we fed deers and goats in the forest and had really lovely walks. The house was clean with good decor and smelt amazing! Right behind the house is a park which our daughter loved. We would recommend No 4 restaurant and the cree Inn both just round the corner both very nice food.

What a charming old gate lodge, perfectly located in a beautiful village in a lovely area of the Galloway Hills. Lots of attention to detail with welcome notes and treats on arrival. Easy to find with detailed instructions on how to find the property and how things worked. Very clean and tidy, great effort made to keep you warm with heaters and blankets (although not needed as weather was actually gorgeous!) and other games and records if its wet. And the TV options, wow, every TV series or film you can think of from every streaming platform going. What a find! Will definitely stay again.

United KingdomKitchen was very small which made food prep challenging. Kitchen tap broken therefore water pressure very poor. Which rendered cleaning up difficult.
Very dog friendly with lots of extras included for the dogs such as beds, blankets, treats and toys. Garden is beautiful and clearly very well maintained. Extremely comfortable beds and having an open fire in the master bedroom ensured a cosy sleep. Huge fridge freezer to store plenty supplies. Location is perfect for access to town, dark sky zones and beautiful walks.
