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.).

Here’s a polished review draft with all your points included: ⸻ We had an amazing stay here with the whole family. The holiday home offers a nice view, and we especially loved the comfortable beds and how clean and well-kept everything was. The open kitchen area was very nice and made our family time even more enjoyable. The staff were very polite and helpful, even assisting us with language, which made us feel truly welcome. The baggie service was excellent, adding extra comfort to our stay. Overall, it was a happy family stay and we would definitely recommend this place to others

United KingdomThere wasn't anything not to like, exceeded all expectations.
There were so many more things about the facility that we didn't expect to have, all the heating options, the heated towel rail, coffee machine, iron, wireless phone chargers built into the bed side tables and many more. For what we thought would be a simple pod was actually very well equipped, far beyond what we would have thought.

United KingdomNo buses to location. Taxis difficult as busy day in Edinburgh but we coped. One small complaint only - about the soap and shampoo dispensers in the pods. They have been put in the wrong place, very difficult to use.
Fantastic. Pods were amazing. Super comfy, cosy and had everything we needed.

United KingdomI was not expecting to not bring the car upto the lodge, it was annoying after a night out and walking back up the pebbly hill in the dark, the path could be lit a bit. Washing up liquid would of been useful no shop on site Take what you need then you can get it brought up in buggy on arrival
It was lovely modern and clean Comfy beds nice linen

Excellent accommodation, it was just quite a walk from the car park to get up the hill. The staff did however help take us up on check in and check out day on a buggy with all of our luggage which really helped.

Very cool place. The vibes were chill and the staff were very helpful. The pods were unlike anything I had ever stayed in before. Everything was very high tech from the mood light and blinds to ordering dinner at the canteen. A hidden gem in Scotland close to the airport. Wished I could have stayed longer.

United Arab EmiratesI didn't like that we have to park the car and walk for 10 minutes until we reach our house. And the golf car is available only when check in and check out. while other during days our stay no golf car we have to walk and it will hard if we have byu dome items and we have to carry them and walk to our house 😔. I suggest to manage and make good road until house and let cars to pick up the people and items and them go back in parking to park there (it is good of old people and heavy items)
Nice, clean and quiet place. Every things are avaliable there in kitchen and toilets.

Very different, modern, clean and surprisingly spacious. Great for our overnight stay before heading to the airport. We were extremely lucky to visit on a lovely hot day so it was a please to sit outside an watch the surfing most of the afternoon.

Our pod was amazing, very high tech, the control panel was easy to use. Tea and coffee with a little bottle of milk for our arrival. Bath robes were so comfy and the provided toiletries were gorgeous, so much so I’m ordering them for home. The pod was immaculately clean and the bed very comfortable.

SpainThe hilltop lodges are perfect for long term stays but not convenient if you are surfing multiple times a day. Laundry facilities for the waterfront lodges could help those staying 1+ weeks.
Amazing surf trip! My two sons Finn & Robin loved the friendly, patient instructors and lifeguards—special thanks to Craig, Neil, Joel, Finn, Kieran, Holly, Sebas and not forgetting all the canteen crew too! The boys improved so much and became even more passionate about surfing. We enjoyed it so much that we changed our summer plans and stayed for 2 extra weeks. We tried both Hilltop and Waterfront lodges, but the “Wave” lodge was perfect for our multiple daily surfs.

I was surprised by the resort the surf area, bar and canteen are very cool we had a great evening watching the surfing. All the staff were super friendly and appeared to actually enjoy working there. The hillside Lodge was very smart, very clean with loads of room.
