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 StatesNothing could be better! Our stay was about as perfect as it could be! We loved it!
Fabulous! We knew the property had received great reviews but we were blown away by this place! Our stay definitely exceeded our expectations. Jennie (we didn’t meet Joe) couldn’t have done enough for us. Breakfast was great & the lobster dinner was to die for! The setting is lovely, the rooms well appointed, clean, and quiet! What an incredible find. We’re so very happy we stayed at Tarrel Farmhouse and can’t wait to return!

United KingdomHaving to leave !
Well worth the short detour to Portmahomack; super comfortable room with smart on-suite. Copious hot water and heating to take the chill of the night air. Jennie's catering was top notch (we had problems with dinner at the Castle Hotel which booked us a dinner slot on a closed night !!) and we appreciated the stand in dinner provided (wonderful steak pie). The full breakfast was beyond our appetites, but the waffles and fruit hit the spot. Many thanks Jennie.

I stayed here in 2019 when it was just starting out and it was already fantastic. I’ve been looking forward to coming back ever since, and my return visit did not disappoint. Jennie continues to be an incredible host, always present and welcoming, and everything was even better than I remember it. Breakfasts and dinner were wonderful, the room was clean and inviting and so comfy (such comfortable beds!!), and the location was beautiful and easily accessible from Tain.

GreeceFrom the moment we arrived, we felt a warm and genuine from the hosts. The farmhouse itself was charming and beautifully maintained, surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The highlight of our visit was the incredible dinner we had in the outside area. The setting was perfect, and the food surpassed all expectations. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing fresh and local ingredients. We also appreciated the unique touch of the honesty bar, allowing us to enjoy a selection of beverages. The following morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that left us energized for the day ahead. The attention to detail, exceptional service, and the overall ambiance of Tarrel Farmhouse made our stay truly memorable. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with culinary delights. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories!
