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 at all!! I could not fault anything.
Everything, there was absolutely nothing to dislike. The little house was perfect, and the location was stunning. Loved watching the wildlife in the garden and I even had a visit by baby rabbits, too. I was in my element! Everything anyone could need was there, and the attention to detail was just just brilliant.

United KingdomNothing it was perfect
Superb place for our stay whilst visiting the nearby mountain bike trail centre. I cannot speak highly enough of this place where Julie has great attention to detail (the welcome cake went down a treat) and everything you need is there. It was so nice to sit and watch the birds and the woodpecker on the bird feeders and watch the beautiful sun set each evening. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect.
Arrived to find a delicious home baked cake, as well as milk and juice in the fridge - a lovely touch and much appreciated. The place is spotless and the kitchen is very well equipped with utensils, pots etc. There was plenty of wood for the burner too. The views are stunning and it is just perfect peace and quiet with no-one else around. Lovely walks and the sunset was stunning. Plenty of games and books to enjoy - a wildlife book was helpful in identifying the birds around the feeders in the garden! Excellent shower too and comfy bed. It is only a short drive to Newton Stewart. Would highly recommend and would love to return for longer in the summer.

United KingdomThere was nothing at all to dislike.
Everything. We had a fantastic stay. The view is amazing, so tranquil. Loved watching the birds feeding including a rather splendid woodpecker. Really warm and cosy with all the facilities you need. No problem with the road nearby, the traffic noise is negligible and doesn't intrude on the overall tranquility. A bonus of a wonderful baked cake too! We would love to return in the future.
