Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe loved everything
The property had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking utensil, pots and pans and crockery you could possibly need. There were essentials provided like tea, coffee,milk, oil etc which was handy. We stayed with 4 teenagers and found the property was easily big enough for everyone to have their own space. Plenty of tvs which meant there was no arguments over what we watched. The annex was lovely if you want a bit of privacy or quiet from the rest of the family. The owners were there if we needed anything but otherwise stayed out the way and left us to get on with it. The kids loved the hot tub and the wife loved the sauna. Location was perfect for mountain biking in the many forests close by and for exploring the coast which was a short drive. It would be a perfect location for a golf break with southerness very close by and not far from the Ayr coast.

United KingdomWhat a beautiful place! We stayed here with our family aging from 2-79 and everyone was more than pleased with the place. Sadly the weather didn’t play up but that didn’t stop us enjoying the amenities. There is a lovely outdoor farm nearby (Ernespie Farm) with a huge soft play indoors & beautiful cafe. The place was cleaned to such a high standard & was just a joy to stay in. We will definitely be back & I have already recommended this place to all my friends! 🤣

United KingdomThe house was absolutely incredible. It had a lovely welcome pack of crisps, baked goods and milk. The setting was so peaceful and the owners had thought of everything you may need on a stay away. The hot tub was excellent and we loved sitting out by the fire on a clear night. The annex was an excellent addition and very private. The house was immaculate. We would return in a heartbeat.

United KingdomWe loved it all. Loved it so much we've already booked to return!
We absolutely loved everything about this property. The owners/hosts have been thoughtful and thorough in their planning of the accommodation. The cottage and annexe are beautifully furnished and equipped, the hot tub is probably the best we've ever used and the sauna looks great although we did not use it.

United KingdomWe conquered the coffee maker eventually it would have been easier if the instructions were easily available. There wasnt really anything not to like.
The house was spacious, beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated. It had my favourite toiletries towels and bathrobes for using the hot tub. Our party had a dip in the hot tub which was 20 minutes of great fun. Every room had tasteful touches. The views from the sitting room are lovely and we saw red kites and fieldfares in abundance.

Plenty of living space and extremely well equipped. Open plan kitchen/dining area with modern kitchen and plentiful seating. Spacious garden with hot tub and BBQ backing on to fields. Quiet location.
