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 StatesCan't think of anything at the moment. The bathroom was somewhat small so not suitable for a larger person. It was fine for us.
They told us exactly where to find them. The lights were left on for us too which was very much appreicated. Parking space was right in front of cottage. Beds and linens were fabulous! Outdoor area and firepit were so quaint and welcoming. It was all the little touches that made this place so fabulous! Definitely will be back!

It's like glamping. Very comfortable and fun! It's not a fancy place, but everything you need is there and we really enjoyed our stay. However, if you don't like cooking, you're better off staying in a hotel. They have a variety of amenities, guidebooks, ice, etc. in our office, and the owner is very friendly and very helpful.

United StatesThere was nothing we disliked.
The host emailed with clear and detailed instructions about check-in and the property. We didn't see the email ahead of time, but the host was available upon our arrival. He provided suggestions for nearby dinner places. We were in a studio unit, which was tight, but I was impressed with how thoughtfully and fully appointed it was. Loved the decor and that we had everything needed to fix simple meals, if desired. Loved the screened porch space, too. The cottage was snug and quiet, everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, we had good water pressure in the shower, and were pleased with good secure WiFi. We did not make use of the fire pit and other spots on the property, but would have enjoyed these in warmer weather or with a longer stay. Also found the location ideal- close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor commercial areas, but away from the traffic and the busyness of those areas. We'd stay here again (in a larger space) if we were in the area.

GermanyKitchenette, particularly the small range, is outdated and finnicky but this is nitpicking.
This place exceeded my expectations and I really loved it. Simple, humble, clean and comfortable cottages. Great location close to the Hulls Cove entrance of Acadia and 12 min to Bar Harbor center. My kids liked the outdoor area and there are grills and a firepit which made cooking simple. The cottage was very clean, spacious enough for a small family and had a good shower. Super easy check in. The screened in porch was large and a great addition to the cottage. Would certainly come back.
