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.).

Lovely couple who run the lodges. The lodges are warm, cosy, comfy, spotless. Everything is new. We brought our dog and they were so accommodating. The location is very rural and that suited us. Town of Wick 15 mins away with restaurants and shops.

United KingdomWe stayed here for one night on our route 500. What a great place, fantastic welcoming hosts who were so friendly. The pods are newly built and they are exceptionally kitted out to a really high standard. Beautiful area and 5 minutes from the lovely village of Lybster. Hopefully call by again sometime, thank you

United KingdomLovely warm welcome from the owners on arrival. Excellent location for nc500. Wonderful cosy cabin with everything you need. Really comfy beds slept great very peaceful. Nice and warm too wouldn’t have known it was windy outside. Family of 4 and a dog and all facilities were great. Plenty of towels and hot water!! Cooked a full meal in the kitchen the evening we were there no problem. Fenced area of AstroTurf just out front so we could let the dog out regularly safely. Visited the caster cairns 5 minutes away on owner recommendations and so glad we did! Lovely spot a little treasure I’m so glad we found!

IrelandIt was perfect
The senga pod was amazing. The kitchen had all the equipment you would need even an air fryer. Beds were very comfortable had the most amazing sleep. Views were beautiful and outdoor seating was just lovely to sit and relax with a coffee on a sunny morning.We had only booked one night but would loved to have stayed for longer. Mandy and Pete are lovely hosts and we would highly recommend this accomadation on your NC 500 trip or even just a place to recharge the batteries.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at the windy roost. Hosts are welcoming and friendly. Lots of attention to detail in the cabin. It's so close to Wick & John O Groats if you are doing the NC500 route, this is on the East route The cabin has all mod cons, you can sit outside with your coffee and see a sea view. Fantastic

United KingdomI can't find any fault except I wish I could have stayed longer.
I loved everything about our stay here, the cabin was beautiful (and brand new) everything inside has been well thought out and immaculate. The bed was very comfy and there was room For children too (if you have some). The views were so pretty, I could see mountains and sea from my cabin. Peaceful location and the hosts couldn't do enough to help us. Thankyou so much Mandy and Pete
