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 KingdomNothing. It was a perfect get away for a few days of peace and relaxation. You definitely need a car to get around as there are no shops or amenities nearby. But the closest towns are just a short drive away and this suited us well.
The property is finished to a high standard, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean as well as being warm and comfortable. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short stay and has excellent views. Janet our host was helpful, friendly and very thoughtful in leaving tea, coffee, milk, orange juice and cake for our arrival. She ensured we knew how to contact her if need be and we felt welcomed in all communication with her.

United KingdomCrazy warm even with all windows and doors open and fans on. So the fans are definitely needed. You realise why they are provided very quick. So would consider return visit in the winter and get use of the fire knowing it's going to be very snug and well insulated enough to cope with winter months.
Quirky, unique. Cutlery and glasses so clean you'd think they were brand new. Cooker easy to use. Good facilities. Personal touch note and cake in the fridge. Stunning views regardless of weather. Good to have the seats as we got a nice night weather wise. Plenty garden and nice to have the birds to watch. Sets the scene that little more. Great to see and experience an Eco build. Can recommend.

Perfect location, great base to explore local beauty spots. So quiet and could barley hear the road. The roundhouse has everything you could need. We spent 7 nights for our honeymoon here and janet the host kindly left us a lovely homemade cake, the BEST shortbread biscuits, some prosecco and milk and juice. She even put up a congratulations banner. Thrilled with the week we spent here. Definitely recommend if you want a quiet break away from it all. The sunsets are breathtaking.

The location was excellent. It was very peaceful and tranquil. The Roundhouse is very spacious and has everything you need. The floor to ceiling windows are fabulous, allowing floods of light to enter, whilst giving you stunning views across the Solway Firth during the day and night and waking up to the sound of birds was just lovely. Janet was a wonderful host as before we arrived, she put the heater on so it was lovely and warm. She had also made some beautiful cake and some melt in the mouth shortbread heart biscuits. There was also cheese, milk and juice in the fridge. All these touches were greatly appreciated! Thank you to Janet for making our stay a truly memorable one!
