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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Hostess Jean was amazingly kind - provided gluten free snacks. Drove us and our mountain of luggage to the train and helped us with outrageously heavy bags. Unit is very well equipped and located close to the wonderful sites of Arbroath. A complete winner.

AustraliaNothing really Be aware that the bedrooms are on the second floor and the stairs are narrow.
The Wee Anchor is set up with everything you need on your seaside break. We had great communication with the owner and the strawberry pies were a nice welcome. Parking is on the street which was okay, we found parks within a short walk. The washing machine and drying rack were convenient. This accommodation has a lovely courtyard and summer house that unfortunately we didn’t have an opportunity to use. Heating was perfect on the cold days. Appreciated having a toilet on both floors.

CanadaBeing picked up at the railway station was an unexpected treat. Thankyou for that. The cottage was lovely and just big enough for 3. The coffee and treats were very nice and the little fireplace was so cozy in the evening. My favorite part was the summerhouse , so nice to sit in on a cool or rainy day. Very well done all round.

United Kingdomhaving to leave should have booked longer.if you like peace and quiet and everything on your doorstep this is for you.
ideal location for the shops,cafes,pubs,as everything is just minutes away,the cottage is right next to the harbour and has every thing you need for your stay,the cottage is on a one way resident street so you get one or two cars during the day but at night its really quiet as the walls are about two foot thick,in fact the first night we over slept a couple of hours. the landlady jean pick us up from the train station and then showed us around the cottage which was really great.

United KingdomNot a huge problem but if I had to find a negative I would say the shower could be improved upon. Not very powerful.
Really lovely cottage with great outdoor area and summer house in garden. Contained garden so perfect for keeping the dog safe. Also handy having a second toilet downstairs which looks recently installed . Jean is a lovely friendly lady who met us at the cottage and showed us around. She made us and our dog feel very welcome . We will definitely return.
