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 KingdomNothing. These are not negative points us. Just to help future guests understand the property. Some reviews have mentioned the lack of an oven and microwave etc. We simply planned meals for the stove top. Some similar cabins have only 2 rings and it was luxury to have a 4 rings gas burner. It should be noted that parking as is short distance from the cabins but William met us in a small off road vehicle to transfer luggage, which was very helpful.
The cabin was in a fantastic location and very cosy. Even in September we did not need any heating, although we were impressed that there was underfloor heating as well as the wood burner. The small kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to have relaxing evenings in with a home cooked meal. The Jolly Fisherman in Craster is a 10 minute walk away if you want to eat out. The bed was comfortable and the en-suite shower was hot and had good pressure. We were especially happy to see the dolphins swimming past one morning and really appreciated that Kelly and William had thought to put binoculars in the cabin.

United KingdomNothing as far as we are concerned. Kerry has obviously done her research & has created something quite different but exceptional. Loved it.
Kerry met us with the key on arrival & took us to where we were staying. She gave us a rundown on where everything was & how it worked. She called round the next day to make sure we have everything we needed & a good first night in the place. The place was fabulous & in an ideal location to just watch the sea / sunrise & sunset. Will definitely be back for another long weekend.

United KingdomI could have done with a higher mirror than the low one in the bathroom, to dry my hair in. I made do by sitting on the bed and using the bathroom mirror but it was quite a tricky angle, around the door and passed the shower.
The views from the cabin were amazing and the placement was so peaceful. The cabin itself was very well stocked for such a small space, we really didn't need anything more. The location is perfect for a short walk into Craster, excellent for getting steps!

Amazing location for the coastal walks The view, the silence other than hearing the sea and the birds. It is so relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and will return. We walked to the local pub and didn't have to use our car.

United KingdomI would have liked a hairdryer and either a microwave or, and this would be my choice, an air fryer. I think if I'd been staying any longer one or the other would have been essential. Although I have seen that the access is mentioned in the detailed description, I certainly missed it and I think it would be fairer to make these details more prominent.
Stunning location. Very comfy bed with first class linen. The owner has gone the extra mile to provide good quality furnishings and the décor is beautiful and carefully executed.

The views were fabulous. The family was super helpful. The car is parked away from the pod, which was great. Enabling us to just spectacular walks right from the doorstep. Loved the cosy warm fire, twinkly fairy lights, and comfortable bed. Good kitchen. The veranda and seating outside was lovely - even in February

United KingdomThe communication before hand, we didn't know what to expect on arrival and were a bit unsure arriving in the dark! It might be good to have had a message/email to confirm we'd be met when we arrived, where to park and what was provided in the cabins.
An amazing place, we loved our stay! Cabins are in an incredible location and stunning inside. Very well equipped with everything you could need - can't wait to come back!
