How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewSpacious pod. Decorated nicely Instructions were very clear
Pod smelled like smoke on arrival. WiFi was not great and electricity was cut off by authorities on the following morning making us leave earlier than intended.
Hi Pamela We do have a strict no-smoking policy in all our properties, so I can only apologise for this. It was unfortunate that Scottish Power who supplies electricity to Caithness switched the power off for maintenance - I'm afraid it was not something we had control over, and this is a very rare occurrence.

Verified reviewThere was no clear signs as to how to get to the property. It was very difficult to find it. We had to knock on local people’s door to get directions. Finally when we got to the location the lodges were hidden at the back of some property away from the road. We had not been given any pen to get into the lodge and was waiting outside for a long time before getting in.
Hi Tanveer. I'm so sorry you had difficulty finding Byrnside Lodg. As it happens you hadn't looked at the instructions you received when your booking was confirmed which gave you directions to find the Lodge and also the pin number to gain entry. You were also given the number of Kirstin who lives a a few minutes away who could have assisted you but instead you rang the number of our London office which were not available on Saturday as it states clearly in the Guest Instructions we sent you. I hope you managed to enjoy your stay when you did gain entry. Regards Avi

Verified reviewA quirky, clean and comfortable lodge. Great location for those touring the east coast! Comfy beds, great shower and a lovely outdoor area. The owner supplies a super useful “app” that gives you all the details you need.
As an observation only - 4x people may struggle to use the kitchen layout, due to the television obstructing the seating area. A larger saucepan or wok may come in useful for 4x people who are cooking.
Hi David, thanks so much for your review and comments. We have now provided a larger saucepan for cooking, post your comment and we do appreciate it is a little on the cosy side in the dining area. So pleased you still enjoyed your stay with us, we were very happy to host your and your party.
