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.).

BelgiumThere was no freezer, but for a few nights it was OK using just the fridge.
It was a very spacious mobile home in the middle of the countryside, with a little terrace. The views from the mobile home were spectacular, and there was a beach 10 minutes walking, where we watched a beautiful sunset. There's a restaurant on the grounds, which is useful. The host was very nice and gave us many recommendations for restaurants and grocery shopping.

United KingdomI suspect this is more to do with the local going rate for accommodation. This was part of a three stay trip we had planned, and the cost for the time we stayed was a little higher per night than our other destinations. Was within budget hence we booked it, and as I say probably related to the local market forces.
Lovely surroundings and with a restaurant on the doorstep. Lots of local suggestions for places to go in Oban. A very knowledgeable introduction to our stay.

We stayed for two nights and traveled to Fort Williams area and Glenfinnan Viaduct. The property is at a very scenic location and lots of space to sit in the open and walk around. Ample of parking space. Iain (Owner) is so nice and took good care of us. The area/village is quite scenic with a small shopping place, cafes and lots of parking space everywhere. There is an amazing beach as well just about 1 km from the property.

United KingdomIt would be great if there was a bath mat and oven mitts. Otherwise, spot on!
Ian and Meng were very welcome. Ian was knowledgeable and helpful, giving us lots of useful tips to make the most of our time in the area. The beach at Tralee is just beautiful, and only around ten minutes' walk from the property. The beds were comfy and the living room was very cosy.

CroatiaFor our family of six we had two accomodation units - the "Barn" and the mobile home. Both were comfortable and well equipped. Barn was more spacious and with a washing machine, but the mobile home had beautiful open view towards the fields and mountains arround. Cottages are located in the quiet green fields not far from the beach, between Oban and Glencoe with lot of spots to visit in the area. The cottages are also well equipped with games and books in case of the bad weather, that we luckily didn't have. And finally, our host Iain was very kind and helpful.

Beautiful farm setting, sunset so pretty, in harmony with the nature. Host Iain is so friendly and very helpful, he is knowledgeable and obviously knows his business. Wish we had more time to chat. The cottage we stayed was very homey and spotlessly clean. A big pity that we arrived late and left early for our stay, all of us (including our 2 teen children) wanted to stay longer.
