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 KingdomI have nothing bad to say about Old Fisherman’s Cottage. It is perfect.
We loved this cottage. It has been beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout. The nautical touches and use of locally made crafts adds to the ambiance. We loved how the ruins of the old cottage formed the quiet, calming back garden. Cannot recommend Old Fisherman’s Cottage highly enough. It’s a beautiful wee gem of a place.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. We both hit our heads on the ceiling upstairs but that was our fault. We were glad we had a disabled parking permit because parking might be difficult.
My mum and I had a lovely stay at Julie's cottage. Everything was spotlessly clean. Lots of lovely touches - teacakes, milk, hot water bottles, rugs, speaker, hair dryer/straighteners. We didn't need or use everything but appreciated it. The cottage may be old but the interior has been beautifully modernized. Every bit of space has been put to good use. The TV lost signal quite frequently so we appreciated the iPlayer and other apps. Lots of great info in the black folder. We didn't use the outdoor space but it would be great if the weather was right. Location is good for the shops and the ferry.

United KingdomWe should have booked a week instead of 3 days
The host went above and beyond with the extra touches such as teabags/milk/biscuits, having hairstyling gadgets and good information pack. We were overwhelmed with the coziness of the apartment and were delighted with the proximity to all amenities in Rothsay. Appreciated the privacy with smokescreen windows and blackout curtain in the bedroom. We had a wonderful time thank you.

United Kingdomit didn't bother us much as we weren't there to sit in and watch TV, but the TV took a while to get going and change channel, in spite of it just being the limited freeview type channels. it would be worth them improving that for days when the weather is bad. Parking across the street was on a single yellow line - the sign appeared to indicate that parking wasn't allowed there between 8am and 6pm; other cars were parked there, so we just took a chance and it turned out ok. it would be good for future guests to know if it is ok to park there; if not, then the location of the nearest parking area which is generally available.
Great location, very comfortable living space for a couple. Nice touch that some Tunnocks teacakes and coffee/tea were left in the kitchen for us to use, also some milk. Property was quick to heat up, good shower. Overall, very nice.

United KingdomWe didn’t dislike anything but one or two kitchen implements may help self caterers eg a bread board, tea strainer, cafetière, a few more mugs , tin foil etc but non are essential of course!
We liked everything about this property from the friendly welcome on arrival, to the lovely cosy sitting room and bedroom, well equipped kitchen and bathroom and the added bonus of conservatory, courtyard and bike store. The location was really convenient too for shopping, bars eating out and harbour. We are more than happy to recommend this property.
