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.).

AustraliaA fly screen so we could open the bedroom window to let fresh air in at night.
Wonderful stay in gorgeous country with magnificent views. The accomodation had everything you needed. A fully equipped kitchen with oven, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, washing machine and every gadget you could need to cook whatever you wanted. Great sitting area with wood burner and an extremely comfortable bed. Parking on site. 5 minutes to Lumphanan. 15 minutes to Banchory for Tesco. Wonderful hosts who you would not know were even there. Thank you Alison and Iain. We will hopefully be back.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. May benefit from a smart TV to stream free channels and this is purely nit picking!
Absolute home from home. Excellent for our rescue dog who is of a nervous disposition, very peaceful and quiet location. Spotlessly clean, lots to do and see locally and wonderful owners. We cannot thank you enough for our stay, and our dog Marnie gives 10 woofs out of 10!

United KingdomThat we couldn't stay longer. We felt that the photos we had seen did not do the cottage justice which is a shame. We will look for an excuse to return.
Beutiful position amongst the fields with an extensive garden to wander in (I startled a deer!) and good views over to the local hills. Very friendly and helpful hosts in the house next door who were there if you needed them but did not intrude. The property is small but beautifully fitted and in an excellent condition and we loved it. The dining table enlarge into enough room for our maps and files as well as for eating on. Very responsive heating as well as a wood burner (not used as it was warm.) Convenient location with Aboyne and Banchory very close as well as facilities in Lumphanan. Excellent welcome tray. We didn't want to leave!

United KingdomLovely warm welcome from Alison and Ian, including a generous welcome pack. The cottage was warm and cosy with everything needed for our week away. The personal touches in the cottage were what made this stay so special. A great base to explore the eastern side of the Cairngorms and the castles along the coastline.

United KingdomPerhaps a bit too warm on arrival and during first night but easily able to adjust heating controls and open windows after that. Property excellent so hard to think of anything else negative!
Small and secluded property but everything you might possibly need was available. Delightfully furnished. The hosts were lovely and extremely accommodating and a lovely welcome tray, plus fresh milk and bread was provided for arrival. A real find!
