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.).

United KingdomNothing! It was perfect in every way.
Stunning accommodation with the most incredible view, and just a few steps from the beach. The bothy was a little home from home and the hosts had thought of everything you could possibly need and more. We were welcomed by the hosts Dave and Julie and had they very kindly left us some black pudding and fresh scallops to eat. Being dog friendly was also a huge positive.

CanadaThe location is literally smack dab on a gorgeous beach with waves lulling you to sleep at night. The Bothies are well-equipped with everything you could need. There are two more beaches right nearby and plenty of good walks start right outside the door. The hosts are warm, kind people who made me feel like a friend.

From the minute we arrived with a friendly greeting by Dave, looked at our view from the Bothy, we knew we had found a little piece of paradise. Everything about our stay was special; location, the treats left for us, the beach, and the atmosphere. Everything you could need is provided for you in top class accommodation, and it does not feel small at all. We will be back, could not recommend highly enough. Thanks for sharing it Dave and Julie 😊

United KingdomWe were a bit unlucky with the windy rainy weather for a couple of days.
Stunning sea view location and surprisingly spacious accommodation for a pod which had everything we needed. The hosts were brilliant, friendly and generous with the food gifts they provided. We had one lovely sunny day but couldn’t control the weather after that. Loved listening to the sound of the waves crashing and watching the terns dive bombing into the sea.

Wonderful location of this very well equipped bothy. The views are exceptional out to the small bay and across to Pabbay. The bothy has a fully equipped kitchen, shower room , king size bed, sitting area and outside decking with chairs. Julie & Dave are perfect and generous hosts and include a welcome pack including butter, milk, bread, scallops and Stornaway black pudding. This is our second visit and we will definitely be back to this tranquil and relaxing place. Great beaches nearby, lots of lovely walks , great for water sports and cycling.

United KingdomThe weather - but don’t go there if you expect hot weather. Just hunker down if it’s wet or windy.
The view and location is literally the best in Britain - right on a secluded beach with white sand, turquoise water and extremely quiet ie a handful of visitors each day at most.

We absolutely loved our time at the Beach Bothies. Dave and Julie are both very welcoming and super helpful. The welcome pack was extremely generous. Delicious scallops and Stornoway black pudding went down a treat on our first evening there. The pods are beautifully furnished, very comfortable and equipped with everything you could need for your stay. We especially liked the added touch of the coverless duvets for a cosy evening on the deck whatever the weather. The owners Mountain bikes and kayaks are available to use too. My son thoroughly enjoyed cycling around the peninsula. Our dog just loved the beach. We were lucky enough to see a seal in the bay during our stay too. We will definitely be returning to the Beach Bothies.

Everything. The Bothies were beautiful and well equipped, the views, beaches and walks in the surrounding area were incredible and Dave and Julie were the best hosts we could have imagined. There were treats including freshly dived scallops and stornoway black pudding in the fridge for our arrival and when we had van troubles Dave went out his way to help us get back on the road! We really appreciated that and look forward to going back next year.

United KingdomWhat a wonderful place to stay! Make sure you give yourself an extra day to just be as we felt we did not have enough time and should have allowed extra time to just be around for a day. Bothy is spacious with everything you might need, hosts were kind to give us the grill although it's January! Beds are exceptionally comfortable and the sound of waves makes you not want to get up. We enjoyed our evening sitting in the arm chairs watching the sea. Local area is exceptionally beautiful with a stunning Reef beach just over the hill. Bothy even has binoculars so you can watch local wildlife from the comfort of your own terrace with a cuppa coffee. :) Hosts provided breakfast, some home eggs, local black pudding, scallops and basic cooking stuff. Thank you to wonderful hosts for welcoming us.
