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 KingdomNothing at all - impossible to have disliked anything.
Immaculately clean little cabin - everything you could ask for, plus more in this beautiful property. Loved sitting outside the cabin looking at Mark & Lawrence's beautiful garden and watching the birds in the feeders. The bed was extremely comfy and everything was spotlessly clean.

United KingdomThere is nothing bad to say about Lilac Cottage.
Cosy cottage, and very warm in the winter cold. The extra homemade treats provided by Mark set it apart from other places. Mark was also very accommodating of our dog, who settled in well.

United KingdomI cannot find a single fault. i have nothing but praise for Lilac cottage and the hosts Mark and Lawrence, not forgetting the lovely Bella, a stunner of an English bulldog. My own canine loved the whole experience and was made most welcome. He also appreciated the treats which were on offer!!
The vegan breakfast was exceptional. Mark went above and beyond with the standard and quality of the food and the thoughtfulness in its preparation and presentation. Mark gets full Marks as the host.

United KingdomThere is nothing we couldn’t like.
We enjoyed everything. Upon arrival our host welcomed us with open arms and a genuine smile, making us feel at home. The cabin itself was a cozy haven, very clean and well maintained. It had everything to make it a comfortable stay. The location was a highlight of our trip, offered the perfect escape from the busy city life. The convenience of being just a short drive away from the stunning sandy beaches was a huge plus.

United KingdomReally... Sad face that we had to leave.
Everything was perfect from the meet and greet to our goodbye. Mark was amazing as was the cabin and the cooked breakfast. The location was less than 4 miles from our beach of choice. I cant really recommend it more highly and we'll definitely be going back.

United KingdomThe internet was poor to non existent so was often difficult to use iPad /iPhone, but this was also to do with geographical location according to owner.
Staff were friendly and owner went out of his way to be welcoming and helpful. Birthday banners were especially appreciated.
