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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

We loved everything about the cottage, the location, the amenities, it suited us perfectly. We cooked every night and there was everything we needed. The cottage was warm and everything was very clean. Our 2 children loved their bedroom and it was nice to be able to bath them with proper bubble bath supplied by the owners. The garden was amazing! We often sent the kids out for our 5 minutes of peace and they had a great time, it’s safe and has plenty to do. We can’t wait to return in future. Thank you for providing such a wonderful holiday home.

AustraliaI found the bed too low and a bit firm. A blockout blind in the main bedroom would be great as the sun comes up so early.
Excellent location for exploring the Giants Causeway area, not far to Derry or Belfast. The cottage is comfortable and the host was welcoming and friendly. There's a small supermarket nearby and larger ones a few miles away. The washing machine and dryer are a great benefit.

United KingdomI didn't like the fact I had to go home at the end of my stay, would've liked to have stayed much longer.
My stay was in the self-catering cottage, so I provided my own breakfast. I spoke to Helen over the phone before arrival, she informed me the cottage would be open for my arrival, the keys inside and to just pop up to the house to say hello when ready. However, John met me moments after parking up to introduce himself and offer a warm welcome, telling me if there was anything I needed, just say so. The usual Helen-made scones, jam and butter were awaiting my arrival as was milk in the fridge and tea/coffee in the cupboard. The cottage was immaculately clean, I hope I left it that way on my departure along with some extras I couldn't take back with me on the plane - liquids if you know what I mean... The location is superb being about 2-3 miles outside Ballymoney in a beautiful setting in the countryside with so many sights to see in any direction. I went for a week to see the North West 200 races, then spent the evenings sight-seeing to maximise my time usage, then had to leave very early in the morning on my departure to catch my flight, so regrettably did not get to speak to Helen or John to thank them in person. Do not hesitate to stay here! I will again if I can have the opportunity. One final thing: If you plan to visit in the colder months, take slippers as you might find the tiled floors a little cool on your feet; since the cottage was so homely, I left my shoes at the door.

United KingdomThe only criticism I'd have is that it's not entirely clear on the booking.com advert that there is both a cottage and an annexe at this address. We thought we were staying in the cottage which would have been even better, so we were a little disappointed. Better information and pictures would have been appreciated. That being said, the annexe was great for what we needed it for and we'd heartily recommend it to other travellers who come to this region.
The area is beautiful and it's really near loads of fantastic towns and scenery. Getting around the north coast from here with a car was really quick and easy. We were in the annexe rather than the cottage but the facilities were great. Fully stocked kitchen so we could cook if we wanted to although we never did. Even a washer/dryer you could so this would be a great base of operations for a longer stay too. John was extremely friendly and welcoming when we arrived and the freshly baked scones waiting for us on the kitchen table was a lovely surprise. Once we were in the annexe we never saw John again and had a lot of privacy despite being attached to their house. It was a nice and quiet stay.

United KingdomPerhaps the owners could invest in a more powerful shower,the water was always hot but it took longer to have a shower as the jets were very weak. Small price to pay for a wonderful stay.
The cottage was in the best location to visit all the sites ,it was clean well equipped and comfortable, The beds were amazing slept all night after a long day exploring.The owners provided scones with butter and jam as a welcome to the cottage which were amazing,Will recommend to anyone wanting to visit Northern Ireland .
