Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

We loved the cozy feel and the smart use of a small space. The courtyard was a great place to unwind and let the kids roam without watching for cars and the grounds are kept neat and tidy. The neighborhood itself was quiet at night and reserved parking spots were appreciated. The bonus items in the storage areas including beach toys were a hit as was the walking proximity to the beach. I would love to come back with my parents and in-laws!

United States of AmericaSo leaving was the thing I disliked the most. I could complain about all the sand my dog brought to the car but seriously we had such a great time. The worst part of the stay was not having longer to stay. Nothing could have made our stay better.
Everything! I hated to leave. When we arrived the local on site manager was there and assisted me in getting the key as it was our first time. It was nice knowing that if we needed anything he was around. The area was quiet as described and close to the beach. I would say that we both enjoyed our stay, my dog was worn out everyday from all the fun she had. The local eateries we tried were outstanding! The people were wonderful! I have no complaints. Already booked for next year.

United States of AmericaGetting the TV to work was a bit clumsy, you need your own service password or something. Didnt matter; was too busy going outside anyways.
had specific parking spaces for each cabin, which was great since the streets were packed already. Tons of lighting and security cameras were present also. There's a huge area in the middle for BBQ and relaxing and grass for the pet run, even a bunch of towels to use for the beach and a Washer/dryer set to use.

Loved the location, assigned parking spot. Everything was spotless/clean. Austen was super nice and gave us recommendations about the area. It’s a dog friendly property and there’s lots of space for pups to run around. We had a great experience at Blue Heron Cottages and would love to come back!

United States of AmericaSince pets are welcome here, I would suggest that dog owners get a better handle on their pups. I love dogs, and am not frightened by them, but if a dog is barking and acting aggressively toward another guest, then the owner is missing the mark. This happened to me, and it was not a big deal, but there is a better way to control your pets.
Great, clean, and quiet location. The property is well maintained, and I had nice interactions with the manager and some of the other guests. Two blocks from the ocean is a major plus, and the cottage is nicely furnished.
