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...).

A beautiful location. The cottage had so many thoughtful touches, such as Lynn’s homemade brownies on our arrival, dressing gowns in the bathroom- both Lynn and Bill could not be more friendly, helpful hosts. The dog was in heaven as her morning and evening walk were on the beach.

The location is excellent, and the hosts were exceptionally friendly during the stay. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and everything was provided to enable us to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. The area is nice and quiet and has easy access to the towns on the coast.

United KingdomNothing, it was brilliant.
Shore view is situated just a few steps from a wonderful pebbled beach, surrounded by hills, gorse and trees. The interior is warm, clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable, with lovely comfortable beds and a great shower. Bill and Lynn are wonderful hosts, great communication and attention to detail. For example, they put out brownies, whiskey and gravy bones for doggo. The brownies were beautifully soft and yummy, we didn’t have the whiskey as we were not drinking but appreciated these little touches very much! Bill helped us set up a fire by the beach, which we enjoyed under a beautiful night sky, and it was just divine - one of the trip highlights. This place is a total hidden gem, nestled in a quiet, rural location under wonderfully clear skies… we loved it very much and were sad to leave.

This is a very magical place. It's the most welcoming, cleanest, comfortable with modern facilities holiday home we've ever stayed in. Hosts were fabulous and friendly. There were home baked chocolate brownies and a tipple of single malt whisky for our arrival. This was our second visit here and everything was just as perfect as the first. We have already booked to return next year.

The location of the property was lovely. The beach was right on the door step. The old mill has been lovingly restored and there was lovely attention to detail with the decoration. It was in keeping with the age of the property. The hosts were very friendly and Brodie their dog got on great with our dog too! When we arrived at the property we were shown how to work everything and the owners had left homemade brownies - which were delicious! and there was whisky in a decanter for a wee dram! Couldn’t fault our stay at all. Lovely and cozy. Countryside around about was spectacular. We would definitely stay there again 💜💜💜

We stayed in The Nuek, a fantastic cosy little place, very clean and comfortable, with everything you would need, absolutely fantastic location, the perfect place to get away from everything for a few nights. Bill and Lynn are fantastic hosts and really make you feel at home, the brownies and whiskey on arrival are a fantastic touch. Seeing the northern lights just topped off this fantastic location. Our dog Milo loved his trip it’s perfect for dogs, and we booked again for next year before we even left this year!

The property is on a beautiful secluded beach, the gardens are really well maintained & everything you could want is here. Beautifully furnished, so clean and comfortable. Hosts Bill, Lynn & their lovely dog couldn’t have been more welcoming (think dog treats and brownies!) Despite having a very unwell baby and toddler, we had the best time! We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights! Definitely stay here you won’t regret it.
