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.).

AustraliaThe property is around 25-35 minutes out of town spending on traffic. It was nice to be in a quite area and there were a few things to so close by.
The cottage was great, the owners personally met us on arrival to give us a tour and were very responsive during our stay. You could tell that they really cared about the quality of our stay. The property had lots of things that made it easy for us as guests like cooking basics, dishwasher tablets, coffee plunger, hot water bottles, bathroom products etc. We had a really comfortable stay and would happily recommend the property.

IndiaThe sofa bed could have been better.
The owner has really put in a lot of thought of how to make the stay comfortable for tenants. All the necessary kitchenware was present. There was even an umbrella which could come very handy as it rains often. They also suggested a beautiful walk very close to the cottage, which our family thoroughly enjoyed.

United KingdomI do not think there was anything i did not like. The place was fantastic.
I loved the whole place, it was well set out and beautifully presented. I really liked all the condements that were in the cupboards. I packed them all as normally properties like this dont have them but this one had everything. The extra touch of hot water bottles on the bed made it more special. The living room was nice and cosy with a good sound bar, fully stocked with books and games for anyone to enjoy.

It is a wonderful location, with a great walk down to the beach and easy access by car to the city centre. The living room upstairs has a great view, and lovely for relaxing and playing with our grandchild. We didn't arrive until after midnight, and our host was there to meet us outside the property with absolutely no complaint.

United KingdomThe hosts, Morven and Malcolm, were amazing! Before we even arrived, Morven was so wonderful at quickly answering any questions we had and was extremely helpful when we arrived at Edinburgh airport to make sure we found the cottage and was there to welcome us. This is just what you need when arriving in a new place- so kind and friendly! The cottage is beautiful- close to the airport and city but set in gorgeous surroundings. It’s cosy and modern inside: beautifully decorated with everything you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. The showers were fantastic and lovely touches like hot water bottles in each bedroom. Sitting in the lounge with the amazing views was just lovely after a day exploring the city. I stayed with my husband, daughter and mum and there was plenty of room. My mum could have the upstairs room with her own bathroom whilst we had downstairs which gave us all our own space. We had a very busy 4 days seeing the city and made use of the bus 43 a lot which takes about half an hour into town. The bus stop into Edinburgh is a couple of minutes walk away as is the bus stop you get off at on the way back. £1.80 for an adult single. You can also get to Queensferry on the same bus so you don’t need a car at all unless you were exploring further a field. A bus every 30 minutes and really on time. We also walked to the the beach one afternoon which was beautiful too and you could see Barnbougle Castle in the distance. We know there was a lot more to see if we had had time!

United KingdomFlights overhead can be noisy. Access is a bit tricky across the main road and you definitely need to have your own car to make the most of the location. Freezer space was a bit limited due to items from previous guests.
Very thoughtful layout and well-decorated cottage. Morven was a great host and it was great to meet her for a key handover. The garden is very pleasant and the location is great for popping in and out of Ediburgh. No issues with noise from the A90 either.
