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 KingdomWe found the beds to be rather hard.
The cottage was beautifully presented, very warm, comfortable and welcoming. The conservatory was lovely to sit in during late afternoon when it caught the sun and the living room was very cosy with its log burner. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. The garden was large and very private.

United KingdomThe only thing was the driveway which was a little steep,because you can't get the car down the drive if you have a low car, but there was plenty of parking near to the cottage.
Mark and Rachel advised us on different places to go and local events.Also they had maps around the local area for walking.The cottage it's self was very comfortable (sofa & beds) and well equipped. Rachel even brought in some fresh milk so that we could have a drink and also some wine and biscuits.(even our 3 dogs got a treat) The village was a bit remote but the nearest towns where 20 minutes away, and there was a shop next door with anything you might need. Mark and Rachel was only a phone call away if you need anything.

United KingdomWe were happy with the property and the facilities available.
The location was excellent. A great base to visit Perthshire, Cairngorms and Fife. We visited a number of lovely villages such as Braemar, Ballater, Pitlochry, Tomintoul and others. Best to stock up on essential provisions before you go as the local store, although lovely, has limited stock. Lots of lovely walks from the doorstep and within a short drive. The property was lovely and the location was very peaceful. The garden was a real sun trap. A nice welcome package from the friendly owners.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like, it was all great.
Easy to find, great directions from hosts. Met on arrival, and despite the power outage due to storm Arwen, Rachael and Mark ensured our stay was a memorable one for all the right reasons. Couldn't fault it at all and have already booked to return. House is beautiful and has everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. Nice garden too. Location great for walking. Hosts even left treats for the dog!

United KingdomFront door was difficult to close and lock.....opened on its own a few times. Not a major issue, just annoying 🙂 Car access onto the driveway is bad, but we were told about that.
Lovely cosy place, with lots of amenities and thoughtful touches.
