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.).

NetherlandsThe location is perfect. The cabin is clean and cute, has everything needed for a pleasant stay and self-catering. Microwave present. A good bed, nice shower. Coffee and tea available. Much information on how to gain access and such is provided the day before arriving. Fast answers to any questions you may have. Christine is a great source of information!

United KingdomParking was a pain despite marked parking spots! Our car got damaged as our parking bay was smaller as was also where the bins were kept, and folk were daft with their parking. Both nights there were parking issues with different guests. The Alexa, whilst great, had saved light alarms and music alarms, and we didn't think to cancel any when we arrived, so woken up at 6.30pm by lights going on and music playing.
Lovely spot beside Achmelvich beach. Pods are well laid out and well appointed, with all mod cons you could think of. Really well managed with clear instructions. The bed was cosy and comfortable. Loved watching the sheep out the bathroom window.

United KingdomAchmelvich beach is ruined in summer with motor boats and jet-skis. It is shocking that the local authority approves this on one of the best beaches for children and swimming in Scotland.
Great location to be able to walk to Achmelvich beach. Also close to the caravan park with a fish & chip shop.

SwedenHard to get in touch with the staff as they did not respond on Booking when we had issues, and due to the cellular network not working out there we had no possibility to call them. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable as there was no mattress. It was also impossible to cook food without causing the fire alarm to sound several times (due to smoke from the oven). Moreover, it was strange that we weren’t allowed to use the kettle were it was placed as it was close to the roof, because the cable weren’t long enough to put it somewhere else. The shower had very hot water that couldn’t be adjusted to a more comfortable temperature.
Very nice location with an amazing beach, and a pod with all the facilities that we needed. Good to be able to use a grill outside as well.

United KingdomThe pullout settee was broken, which made it more uncomfortable. If I am being picky, the pods did feel close together but still had a good time. The road leading to the pods could have had more signage and is very winding but well worth it once you arrive.
The pods are amazing, really warm when we opened the door. The site they are on has the most amazing beach very close by, which you will not believe you’re in Scotland. They are really well designed for a couple on a self catering holiday, with everything you would need. The communal barbecue, seating area and fire pit are a huge bonus. The double bed was really comfy, however the pull out settee wasn’t the most comfy, would be ok for a child perhaps, but that would be the only downside to the pod. We just had 1 pod for 4 adults which was very cosy, to say the least, but we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend. There is a small shop and chip shop on the site which could be better but that really didn’t ruin our stay
