Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere was no crockery, utensils etc which made self catering more difficult. However, this wasn't listed so not an issue, more an area for improvement.
The cabin was really nice and just a short walk to the sea. The heater was a nice addition in the winter months and I'm sure the outside space will be lovely in the summer. There are improvement works going on on site which will make the venue even better.

CanadaShower was quite small. If you moved at all, tended to bump into the temp control and water would go scorching hot or super cold. As long as you aware, should be no problem. Good to bring your own towel too as not included in original price.
Really enjoyed this location while in the highlands for couple days of skiing. A bit primitive but just as expected. Nice, warm and cozy accommodations. We brought our own sleeping bags etc. but could have rented this items there. Very pretty at night with all the lights between cottages / tents. The heater had no problem keeping place a nice temp. Breakfast was great too at the adjacent restaurant. Lots of options to order. Host was very friendly.

NetherlandsWhile the direct area the cabins are in is amazingly beautiful there is not much around for lunch or dinner. The sanitary facilities are adequate but rather small.
The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The little cabins are cozy and spaced far enough apart that you won't notice any of the other guests. The breakfast is not included but the Dutch pancakes are worth all the money.

CanadaThere were some bugs (it was a bad year for black flies and some mosquitoes), but that could hardly be blamed on the facility.  … and I’ve seen worse. :-)
Immaculately kept, perfect little cabins, clean private washroom in separate building (not a far walk, and will lit), each cabin had its own separate little (locked) washroom with a toilet sink and shower.

CanadaWe enjoyed the property. The cabin was very cute, clean, and spacious! The loft was great for the kids and a double bed for my husband and I. Just a short walk down a path and you are at a rock beach. We enjoyed having a camp style dinner on the beach. We really liked having our own, private washroom just a few steps away especially with the kids. It was a very effective system and limits contact/needing to share with others. I only wish more places would do this. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thank you Ton! We will definitely book again if we come back to Nova Scotia!
