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.).

AustraliaIt does need updating a little - carpets, rugs etc but this doesn’t detract from the country charm. The showers are quite small.
Shorefield is a great property for a group of friends. Plenty of room and different areas to relax and to enjoy the fabulous view. The location is perfect for exploring the island.

United StatesThis place doesn't look like a carefully choreographed rental, it looks like a family home. And that's what it is. Beyond the stunning sea views, there's a story. Sit in the den with a book and a cup of tea in the evening. Or take your breakfast at the table in the kitchen near the sliding door and watch colorful little birds flit around the brush. It's tranquil and quiet, but would easily accommodate a family with kids as well. For those who are taller or have joint issues, the majority of the furniture here (outside of tables) is very low to the ground.

United StatesThere were only a few things we didn't like, but they're not big things. We loved our stay, the first night the house took a while to heat up so it was a bit chilly. Blankets in the living room would be nice, but we found a couple upstairs to use so it was fine. Also, the bath water got cold and couldn't fill the tub with warm water so we had to shower (which was surprisingly hot). We were very happy with our stay!
When we arrived, we were lucky enough to meet Pi, and she gave us excellent recommendations for the island (ate lunch at Ardbeg and it was incredible as she said it would be). She was so sweet and helpful. We loved the view! It's in a beautiful area, right on the ocean. We loved that there was plenty of space, and that the house was charming. Had everything we needed to cook meals. We were also happy to have Netflix to watch shows at night. And we were thrilled to have a washer and dryer so we could clean our clothes.

The cottage is in a great location with fantastic views over the Loch. The facilities on offer were fantastic with everything we required for our stay. From the directions to the property and on how to use the various equipment throughout meant we could relax and enjoy our short break. There was plenty of toys to keep our young granddaughter occupied and enough books and dvd's for the adults.

Singaporeall good — initially the water heater didn’t work but the host was quick to rectify the issue
beachfront cottage which means we woke up to the sounds of waves and birdsong. Proximity to one of the distilleries we were visiting, and also near to a mini mart, while far from the madding crowd. Very specific instructions were given for use of amenities and the cottage was so comfortable we wished we had more time here!
