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 KingdomThe signs on the road could be improved ( as my sat nav struggled to locate the property ) Also some local information left in the cabin would have been useful ( good walking routes for example...)
A lovely location, with abundant wildlife ( sky larks singing, house Martins swooping, a hawk and a deer spotted...) The cabin had a constant warm temperature, and was spotlessly clean, with everything needed. A very comfortable bed with good quality bedding. And an excellent power shower.

United KingdomThe only very minor point was that the cold water tap in cabin 10 in the bathroom actually gave out warm water.
The location was ideal for why we were up in the area. Less than 10 mins from St Andrews for my sons graduation. The views are stunning and the place is very quiet. We were also able to bring our dog with us as well.

FranceThere was not a single easy chair, though there was plenty of room for two of them, meaning that you had to lie on the bed to relax. We missed that after a long day's walking. The cooking facilities were interesting! There was a very complicated microwave, bit NO instructions - this was a real problem the first night until we worked out some of the functions. A single induction hob (along with a saucepan and a frying pan) would have been so very useful.
The views were to die for! Absolutely incredible, looking over the Tay to Carnoustie and beyond, magical. We really enjoyed the coastal path, walking into St Andrews (about 45 minutes) was a real pleasure. The cabin was very clean, very modern, very well insulated and very well laid out. We liked the plywood ceiling and walls, and loved the under-floor heating. We parked the car at the top of the steps, so only had to walk about 15 m. to get to the cabin. It was exactly what we wanted (except for the cooking facilities!).
