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.).

The cottage was super comfy and clean. Easy check in, great response time from the host, very good location, available parking. we also liked the fact it was very quiet and the surroundings offered a lot of options for different activities outdoor. We just loved it and hope to come again!

SlovakiaWonderful stay in a quiet and peaceful location. The cottage is fully equipped and very comfortable – a perfect base for exploring both the nearby islands and the Highlands. Beautiful surroundings, private and calm, yet close to everything you might want to see. We truly enjoyed our time here!

Unbelievably quiet house with beautiful garden full of flowers in bloom, beautiful surroundings and a fantastic view from the terrace. Fully equipped apartment with everything we needed. One of the best places we've visited so far.

Beautiful property. Spacious cottage! Loved the small town. Owners put a lot of time researching places to go, eat , cycle, visit… even for folks who didn’t have a car. Very nicely done. Nice to have laundry facilities on site too. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy.

United StatesI wish we had known about the stairs BEFORE we booked. I appreciated the heads-up from our host before we arrived, but we have physical limitations that made it very painful to navigate a partially circular set of stairs like those and to drag our luggage up and down. Other than that, it was amazing.
Loved the pans, dishwasher, lovely setting, and homey touches like the well-equipped kitchen. Our hosts left us yummy cookies and lots of ideas for things to do in the area. The grounds were full of huge, old-growth trees, and we had recycling facilities!

Everything about the property was good….tastefully appointed and great kitchen facilities. The 5 berth was tight for 5 adults but we knew there were bunk beds and a double bed and the price reflected this…..better for family with children.

BelgiumLeaving was a bit of a bummer!
Spotlessly clean, comfiest beds (best sleep I've ever had on vacation), very cozy accomodation with everything you could possibly need. Good wifi. The location is exceptional with killer views from the front garden, under an hour driving to Glen Coe hiking paths, some half-hour driving to Oban ferry to Mull for daytrips, and lovely walks right around Taynuilt (Riverside Walk much recommended, it's easy and very pleasant). Neighbours across the little road behind the property were also lovely and let us give the bottle to their orphaned lambs 🤩 Do not miss Kilchurn Castle nearby. The castle ruin is very cool and highland coos are just roaming around (no worries they are very chill) without hords of tourists!

What a lovely place! A quiet spot in beautiful gardens in a great village with lots of walks nearby. We stayed in rose cottage - everything was very well thought out - including the motion activated night light in the hallway, and there was lots of detailed information provided by the hosts. The kitchen had everything we needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Great location to relax and forget about everyday duties. Spacious apartment, equipped with all needed utensils. Comfortable beds, fresh eggs at the reception, close to the beach/pier, we spent a lot of time flying kites as the wind was quite good most of the time, fantastic mountain views from the apartment and garden, very good communication with the owners. Simply Bonawe's hidden gem. Thank you.

United StatesThis was a very comfy place- and the location is stunning. There’s so much to do in and around Taynuilt- especially if you enjoy hiking and nature, golf, etc… Graham’s Grocer in town is fantastic and the kitchen at Bonawe is well-equipped for cooking. I really appreciated the property’s commitment to being green.
