Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 decided to sleep in the upstairs bedroom as it is more spacious; however, the unusual stairs were a little daunting for someone with a dodgy knee! It is a historic property so quirks like this are to be expected, but if you have mobility issues you may want to use the downstairs bedroom. We stayed as a couple and the accommodation was the perfect size for us, but I think 4 adults might find it a little compact.
Check in was easy and the hosts had left a bottle of prosecco and some Scottish tablet, which was a lovely touch. The decor is stylish and wonderfully quirky. The small courtyard was a bonus that we hadn't expected, and it was lovely to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The cottage is in a great location, and we very much enjoyed visiting Ki Lau, a local coffee shop, every day for brunch.

Beautiful wee cottage in a really lovely location. Hired a car and the hosts sorted the street parking straight away. All you need for your stay is provided. It was perfectly clean and recently renovated but holds so much historic charm. The stairs are a bit hectic but fit in perfectly.

CanadaEverything was great!
The property was exactly what we saw in the photos. It was well stocked with everything you need to live for several days! The beds were comfortable, and the decor was excellent. There is also an outdoor space that can be used to enjoy outside or hang laundry on the line. It was great! We stayed as a family of four! Perfect for 4 people! It was near to some grocery stores, coffee shops and bakeries.

United KingdomThere are very steep steps up to the upper bedroom. Whilst this wasn't an issue for us, it could be an issue for other guests. There isn't parking directly outside however we managed to park about 100 yards away on the street.
The hosts were very helpful and quick at responding to questions. We loved the decor and location of the cottage.

United Kingdomit was 14 degrees in the cottage upon arrival. As I arrived late with the flight at 1 am it was difficult to sleep so I needed to get out of bed around 2 and figure out the heating. The cottage heated upon quickly after that but it would have been nice to arrive to heated accommodation.
lovely property with fully working fireplace stocked with wood/kindling etc, comfy beds, excellent taste in decor, kitchen appliances, bath towels, soap all great

United KingdomStairs up to the bedroom are extremely steep. The bathroom is downstairs. The metal bed upstairs squeaked, we managed to improve it by tightening the screws with an Allen key that we happened to have. Mattress wasn't great. The bedroom under the stairs has a double bed but the space around it is quite tight. There was shouting in the street in the night.
Brilliant location on Don Street and we managed to park easily with the permit. There were great places for breakfast just across the main road in the university. The cottage is as it says, historic and charming. This has been enhanced by really gorgeous interior design. Fun. Great shower. Thank you for the chocolate and wine, we enjoyed that. The kitchen is well lit by an enormous ceiling window, and it was nice to have the little decked outside space. The upstairs bedroom had enough room for two suitcases on the floor and cupboards in the eaves. Good washing machine.
