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 downstairs bed was very comfortable but a bit squeaky. There was absolutely nothing else we didn't like.
The cottage, especially the kitchen, was really well equipped. It's the little things that can make your stay easier like tubberware for leftovers, coffee pods for the coffee machine (we also bought some), blankets to snuggle up with and games for all the family. They also left us a few treats which was a wonderful welcome. The information file was exceptional with suggested walks and restaurants etc. We have stayed in a lot of cottages but this one has everything you could possibly need and more. The location is amazing with the beach only 5 minutes walk away. Restaurants, takeaways and shops also in walking distance. Dogs are made very welcome but it didn't smell doggie. The host's communication was great and the cottage was very clean, modern and extremely comfortable. We will definitely stay again and I have already recommended it to family and friends.

United KingdomWe struggled occasionally with the shower valve upstairs occasionally but it wasn’t a huge problem. Maybe a dishwasher would help as we did a lot of self catering? Again, not a big issue, however.
Location was perfect for our needs, beach walks, cafes, etc. We sat in the garden and met some very friendly neighbours. Loved watching thousands of (pink-footed?) geese fly overhead morning and night. Nairn is close to family and so we enjoyed catch-up! Liked the fact that Karen was nearby if anything went wrong, which it didn’t! Enjoyed cocktails on Sundancer balcony and Strathnairn near the beach has delicious fish tacos. Brodie’s is lovely for coffee and a scone.

United KingdomNothing much. I had backache from bed but could be just being in a different bed. Water pressure in downstairs shower was low with not much power to it, but it didn’t spoil our stay
Location was great. Just few mins walk to beach, harbour and town centre. Property was larger than expected and I loved the decor with a nautical look. Everything was spotless. The host even provided a welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits, chocolates and wine. I would like to thank Karen for providing such a fantastic home away from home.
