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 KingdomOnly minor details - one or two door handles were not fixed on, and a couple of light bulbs needed replacing. However, these things caused us no problems, so we didn't raise them with the owners at the time. We are sure that, if we had done so, the issues would have been resolved very quickly.
The property felt like it had been very recently refurbished, very fresh and clean. The background heating was good, with an excellent and very effective facility to add a 'boost' of heat on a chosen radiator. Very full and useful information was provided about the facilities in the house.

United KingdomAs many reviewers have noted it took a bit of getting used to having the bathroom and only toilet in the porch; however, there are heaters in there which mean it wasn't too bad! Although the house was cosy and warm, it would have been extra delightful if there was a functioning wood burning stove or fireplace to sit around.
Amazing location; beautiful views. The house was extremely clean, warm, well maintained and furnished. A lovely place to stay to explore Mull.

United KingdomWe loved our stay in the farmhouse! The location is just stunning, waking up to views of the sea and mountains on the mainland was fantastic. Just a short walk down to a private beach area too, with incredible scenery on a clear day. We were lucky to even see the northern lights from the garden one night! The house itself is comfortable, with plenty of room to relax, and a well-equipped kitchen. Very homely and peaceful, and close enough to Tobermory for essentials. Thank you for the lovely stay, we will definitely be back.

United KingdomNothing negative to say.
Absolutely loved the location & the house. The owner has thought of every little detail thank you. We even saw a Sea Eagle fly above the house while in kitchen - was amazing. The view and area was amazing - for a nature lover it was the best places. We came to for wildlife photography and enjoy the nature present there. A highly recommended house & place to stay for a beautiful holiday and escape from city.

United KingdomExcellent cottage with lots of room. A bit surprised it only has one bathroom considering the size of the property and number of rooms but that wasn’t a problem for my wife and I.
Immaculately clean and excellent equipment, appliances etc. Large. Beautiful location and garden. much better views of the Sound of Mull than the photos of the property indicate. Excellent private parking and Wi-Fi. I also had a great 4G phone signal but my wife’s was intermittent. heating worked well.

United KingdomThe bathroom solution is not ideal; quite far from the bedrooms on a different floor. It worked for us, but a separate toilet upstairs would make a difference. I fully appreciate though that it's an old farmhouse and it cannot have been easy to add modern facilities!
We found the house beautifully refurbished and decorated, clean and very cosy. We also enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and just the whole setting, including the amazing sea views. A great place for a holiday!

United KingdomI didn't like the bathroom being at the front door downstairs. An additional bathroom or shower/ WC upstairs would have been great. I also prefer gas central heating to electric, or if we could have lit the fire in the dining room, (a log burner) which was clearly not to be used.
The house was nicely furnished and decorated. I loved the wood panelling and it was quite spacious. The kitchen was great with everything you needed to cook a meal easily. We had no problems with wifi. I had taken a book in case, I didn't have the option of using the internet, but didn't read it!

United KingdomWhat an incredible place to stay! The view is spectacular, the farmhouse so spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The bedrooms had plenty of room to hang clothes up as well as chests of draws, and the beds were soft and comfy. There is so much space downstairs, with a room to chill by the tv and a room to eat your dinner with a lovely window seat where I sat to look over the view and read a book, as well as a generous outdoor area and picnic bench from which to watch the swallows and sparrows. The kitchen is well equipped with saucepans, utensils, crockery, baking trays, a huge fridge freezer, a very effective oven, a microwave, chopping boards - everything you could possibly need. The shower was powerful and hot too. It was a perfect home away from home, and one I was very reluctant to leave!

United KingdomWe'd thought the house looked a little bit basic from the photos, but it was far nicer than expected. The kitchen was modern and well equipped, and the rest of the rooms were simple but very comfortable. The location is ideal - only half an hour max from the ferry, and 10 minutes into Tobermory. We went to every corner of the island during our stay, and the longest drive was to Fionnhport for the ferry to Iona (just over an hour and a half). The views from the garden over the loch are stunning, and you can walk down the farm track to the sea in a few minutes - we didn't see otters there, but there were lots of birds and seals. The perfect cottage for our needs.
