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.).

United KingdomIt had turned very cold (yes in August - I’m a southern softie!) and the instructions said not to change the heater settings - they were off. It wasn’t cold enough to warrant a call to the hosts, but permission to turn on the heaters if needed would have been handy.
Spotless cottage, with touches of the history of the location. Fully equipped and very comfortable. Excellent location near bus stops and local shops (and the visitor centre which does superb coffee and cake!).

Holly Cottage looked great on the advertisement, but it was even better than we'd hoped for. A perfect, quiet location. A 15 min drive from Glencoe, Co-op across the road & chippy & patisserie opposite. The house itself was immaculate. Access was very easy in arrangement with Rhomi (who we never met, but who answered all our questions). Bed was very comfy, bathroom & shower & washing machine too, very good kitchen (tea & coffee to use too). We didn't lack anything & would quite happily stay there again & longer, if we could :)

United KingdomThere were only 2 wine glasses. Could have done with glasses for prosecco. A bigger TV would be good, it was difficult to see or hear it, we ended up putting it on the table. Parking outside was a bit of nightmare. Even though we had our own parking, when we came back, people where parking up to pop in the chip shop or the patisserie.
The location was perfect. Really cosy cottage, lovely views.

United KingdomThe instructions for key collection were very clear and it was a simple process to find keys and get into property. One of the smoothest check-ins I've had! The kitchen was amazing- we loved cooking dinner together in the cottage. Location was 5 mins walk from stunning Ballaculish lookout spot on the Loch and just moments from incredible Glencoe vistors centre - highly recommend. Coop groceries just across the street. Seriously couldnt have made this stay any better!! Amazing 10/10!

PortugalWe arrived too early, our fault, and it was stressful to check in, after which no one showed up and the house was simply open. During the entire stay, the hosts didn't have the slightest concern about whether everything was going well or whether there would be any problems. We can't watch television for a single day. Access to the mobile network is practically impossible in the area.
Very pleasant accommodation, kitchen equipped with everything you could want. Very pleasant interior decoration.

United StatesHonestly, we can't think of anything we did not like about Holly Cottage. In over a month traveling through Scotland, this was our favorite lodging. We would not hesitate to stay here again or to recommend to others.
We loved the Holly Cottage! The entire space was very welcoming. The bed and bedding were comfortable, the living room was cozy after a long day out, and the kitchen was well-outfitted. The hosts did an excellent job on decor (so many small details to notice!) and provided for all our needs. We particularly appreciated the washing machine and drying rack, since we spent a lot of time hiking in wet conditions. The location was ideal for us - quiet but close to a market and the main road. We enjoyed walking through the town. As a bonus, there is a wonderful bakery steps from the front door.

United StatesWe were instructed not to alter the heat, but we found it cool for our preferences. Also there was a clothes washer but no dryer and that wasn’t helpful when we had lots of rain during our stay; so line drying wasn’t a possibility.
Well supplied kitchen. Comfortable bed.

United Kingdoma minor issue, but the electric heaters wouldn’t turn off even when off at the wall.. so it was cosy!
Very clean and comfortable (bed was very cosy after a long day, but quite small for a couple). The cottage is homely too, well equipped and very easy to figure out how everything works. really enjoyed reading a few of the books about Glencoe too
