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 KingdomOnly (minor) improvement would be a Smart TV so we could use our streaming accounts but very much a first world request!
We just returned from a super holiday at Beehive Cottage a couple of weeks ago - it was a family holiday with one tween and a teenager. It is a very relaxing spot with a high standard of comfortable accommodation. The cottage is tastefully decorated in a minimalist style and was well equipped for our stay. The surrounding roads are very quiet so it was possible to go out for an evening stroll and take in the picturesque surrounding area. There is also a swing set, a pleasant lawned area and a patio bench just outside the cottage. The cottage is around 20 mins from Aberdeen which was a good option for rainy day activities. We only ended up here once despite a rather dismal weather forecast - as they say in Scotland it was dry between the showers and we were happy to enjoy visits to the local beaches and attractions with jackets at the ready as needed. Balmeadie beach is 15 mins away and is a lovely long white sandy beach and country park - we even saw a pod of dolphins as we walked along it. Also saw seals and seabirds from Newburgh beach which is only a couple of miles from the cottage. Balmoral is a 1.5 hr drive (worth the trip) and we also enjoyed days out at Pitmedden Gardens (stunning) and Haddo House and Gardens (both National Trust properties - the usual tearooms, walks, picnic areas type of day). Also took a trip to Inverurie to climb one of the local mountain peaks. There is a big supermarket about 10 mins drive from the cottage and some good restaurants nearby too. We had a great meal in the Cornkist in Ellon and enjoyed fish and chips by the river nearby on the last night of our holiday. The owners were super helpful, responsive and made our trip very easy to plan. Would definitely recommend Beehive Cottage for anyone needing to get away from it all.

United KingdomThe master bed was smaller than we are used to at home and we would prefer a King size bed, but not sure whether that is possible in the space; it is a very comfortable double bed, though, in spite of this. The property is lovely and set in a very restful location, with everything you need to enjoy your stay at the Beehive Cottage.
The owners were very friendly and willing to support our family well, in order to have a restful stay. They communicated really well whenever we needed to contact them, either face to face or via text/email. Highly recommended!
