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 KingdomBeing really picky the night light was very bright - till I found the off switch. The place is fantastic!
The setting is so beautiful, the host Liz communicated really clearly from the outset. The Facebook Page and app made it all feel familiar before we got there. We had great weather but Tanar View is so well equipped that even if it had rained we would have been OK.

United KingdomThe sofas could be a tad deeper for comfort at night time but that is being extremely picky and personal preference.
Host were lovely, happy to go above and beyond. Tanar view is in an absolutely beautiful location, the house is lovely. Log burner, hot tub, the stars at night time are out of this world. The host send you information and everything you could need to see and do. The house is fully stocked with everything you could need. Child friendly, dog friendly. Perfect.

Beautiful cosy apartment. The location and views from the hot tub were excellent, especially with the Highland coos in the neighbouring field. Hosts couldn't have been more welcoming and were easily contactable if needed.

United KingdomMy wife had not been to the Highlands before and only ever passed by Edinburgh and so for her birthday treat, I wanted to give her a truly wonderful experience in her first proper trip to Scotland. Taner view provided the perfect setting for our mini break. The accommodation was fully kitted out and enabled us to feel like we were in a home away from home. The small personalised touches, the hot tub, the log burning fire and the amazing location meant that my wife had a very memorable birthday and we will surely be back again to Taner view. Thank you very much Liz and Neil for welcoming us into your home and helping make our stay so enjoyable!

This place was amazing. A welcoming basket full of goodies on arrival such as bottle of wine, craft beer, whiskey, eggs, milk, butter, scones, jam. It was very clean and kitted out to a high standard. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you required to cook, I could not think of one thing that was missing. Best of all was the wonderful hot tub after a day hikiing in the Cairngorms which were a short drive away. Aboyne 2.5 miles a way is a lovely little village with plenty of shops to purchase food and a few decent eating places. We loved sitting in the hot tub watching the 2 highland cows called Honey and Manuka in the field next to us. They came right up to the fence. The views were also great from the hot tub and the terrace. The host Liz was very friendly and knowledgeable with local walks. They used eco friendly products such as refill washing up liquid. The shower was nice and hot. I would definitely stay here again.

Tanar View is the perfect place for a holiday. The hosts are so helpful. The welcome pack was super. There is so much to see and do in the area but you can always finish the day with a relaxing dip in the hot tub.

Everything, the hosts were amazing. Contacted before our stay to ask for advice on artwork and they gave suggestions and then also contacted us when they saw some artwork that they thought we would like a week late! Location was perfect for the activities we wanted (walking) Hot tub was great with a lovely view of the highland cows. 5 minute drive from a wonderful Pub and Restaurant (Boat Inn) 20 minute drive from slightly larger villages with shops/tearooms 30 minute drive from Balmoral - amazing experience Scenery was stunning and lots to do

United KingdomWe came away with our two teenagers for a last minute booking and we are so glad we did. We loved the location but Liz and Neil made the stay so wonderful. Home made cake and bread on arrival, milk, butter wine in the fridge, whiskey, treats for the dog and just so many things we can’t mention them all but we felt very welcome and relaxed. The house if furnished comfortably and Liz just can’t do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble even driving to a neighbour to retrieve my trainers which were delivered elsewhere! The kitchen is very well equipped if you like fresh foods and want to mainly cook as we did, and everything is very well organised, but The Boat Inn and CC’s were both a welcome treat dining out. The area is great for walkers and there are also lovely villages around to explore, we had a great day walking Balmoral and were just astounded by the scenery. The hot tub is a welcome addition on an evening with the fire pit going and nothing but the stars the owl song… nice on our final night to have a distant serenade of the pipes from Neil too, it really has been such a special holiday, even feeding Primrose and Daisy carrots everyday was smashing, we all need a highland cow in our lives lol. Can’t wait to return!
