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 KingdomThe facility was superb and comfortable and the price was reasonable. We enjoyed our stay very much. One problem was that the lodge where we stayed was close to a main road and it was somewhat noisy even if we closed the windows.

United KingdomThe road is an issue, you can’t get away from the fact it is close and constantly loud - we were 3 bed lodge 8 close to the very busy A82 - even through the night, you can’t open a window or you won’t sleep much - very hard to relax as it’s right there 24x7.
Luxury lodge, very high spec finishes which is unusual for lodges, much nicer than Cameron House lodges 10 min walk away. 3 min walk down to a private beach on the Loch. Staff very friendly and leave you to it, close to everything you need.

United KingdomThere were just a few things, as we had a dog, we had a dog friendly lodge, but it was at the bottom and by the road which was very noisy. I felt it could do with a waste bin the bedrooms and the second bedroom could also have a television.
The property was wonderful, it was luxury, had everything that you want, the beds were comfortable the separate bathroom had a roll top bath and a separate shower. It was spacious and all 4 adults and a dog did not feel like it was too small.

United KingdomUnfortunately, through no fault of the hosts. The group in the neighbouring lodge had their dogs running about the grounds unsupervised, we were sitting on the decking, but it was yapping so we went inside and left the doors to the decking open. Dog stopped yapping but ended up coming into our lodge and doing the toilet. We cleaned it up whilst the owners eventually shouted on their dog.
Lodge was beautiful, grounds lovely and clean. Everything you could possibly need to hand.

Canadawas very warm, and all fans were taken by other units, however we were in the middle of an unseasonably hot heat wave.
The lodge we had (8) was very spacious and had a large deck. It was perfect for our family. The staff were very friendly and happy to help in any way.

United StatesThe only negative was that our particular cabin was located next to the road so there was traffic noise in the bedrooms while trying to sleep. The common areas were quiet all the time.
The cabin was lovely. Very clean, well-equipped, modern, spacious, had everything you would want.
