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...).

The property was an ideal location for us. The property itself was lovely and gave us more freedom that staying in a hotel. The views were stunning and it was very peaceful. The hosts were helpful and informative and the welcome pack was gratefully received and definitely used.

We had a lovely time at the cottage. The cottage is quite unique, beautiful, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Excellent attention to detail. Jeremy was a very helpful and interesting host. It was great opening the door to the lighthouse everyday. We will definitely be back.

United States of AmericaThe beds are pretty hard, at least for us. So we could have used a mattress pad or some extra cushion.
This is a super unique property so you can't compare it easily to a similar priced options. You are staying in a cottage at a working lighthouse. It's on the edge of the harbor, so don't expect to be able to just walk to dinner. But if you want something quaint and quiet and unique with the ocean only a few steps away this is for you. The cottages are spacious and comfortable with living rooms and full kitchens, bedrooms and bathroom. They are either A or B listed historic buildings and are furnished accordingly. Jeremy was an incredibly gracious host, and provided us all the basic necessities for breakfast in the morning which was a wonderful bonus and made our stay that much nicer. It's very dark at night which allows you see stars and even the northern lights if you are fortunate enough to come on a cloudless night.

United KingdomThe bed was a bit soft for us but some would like that, so I would say personal preference. We liked lots of things about the property such as the little garden with seats.
Jeremy met us at the property and was extremely helpful. The property is quite unique and in a quiet location outside the main city but with a short drive or walk in. Old Aberdeen and the parks are particularly nice.

United KingdomThe dodgy areas in the city ! It felt and looked very deprived in certain areas! But I don't want to persecute it, as we personally had no problems, Just stick to the nice areas. In addition, the costs for parking and eating out are steep in the city centre.
The location and the surroundings is something we have never experienced in our lives and will never forget. The lighthouse itself was imposing, yet quietly reassuring and beautiful, particularly at night. The host was exceptional and did everything possible to make our stay pleasant and welcoming. The cottage, formally the engine room was quirky, yet very tastefully presented, clean and tidy. The places to visit in Aberdeenshire were brilliant, we went to Petershead prison museum, the Scottish lighthouse museum, the Aberdeen University museum of zoology, (free to the public) Donnetor Castle, seal spotting and much much more. We've paid good money to go to London and other locations and come away disappointed. I'm a bit of a closet nerd and this place I can honestly say will not let you down. Just treat it like you would treat your own home.
