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.).

United KingdomThought we had the royal snug, had to get the hairdresser to help us figure out which snug we were staying in but not a big deal managed to get it done pretty swiftly. The advertisement was misleading, not from the pictures but the confusion with the booking system (dont know if this is how booking.com displays it) I thought the feeling of being behind a hairdressers was like it was in someone's back garden had a weird feel to it but was quickly overcome. Small note, shower didnt have anything to hold our shower gels, shampoos ect however we do understand the limited bathroom space.
Wee Snug was brilliant, we absolutely loved the modern touch with the games! Pool,Darts,AirHockey and Table tennis were a great option to have! The cabin itself was absolutely immaculate. Shower- this thing had some pressure! Easy to use and was perfect. A/C- It was a little confusing, I think having instructions would make it easier but after a few button mashing we managed to get it! Bed- If you can text me where you got that mattress I would love to know! Easily the most comfiest bed I've ever laid in! I think if there was a Hot Tub it would absolutely top it all off! Especially after the good weather we had! The Host, Billy couldn't be more helpful, answered our queries about the confusion of the booking and was really hospitable! He left us BBQ stuff as a good gesture and this was very appreciated and didn't go un noticed!

United KingdomThe only thing which is clearly stated in the description is that you can't drive your car in to unload but that can't be helped and there is a little car park round the corner to park , I've got bad legs but managed the small walk with ease , we just unloaded the car on the path 1st then walked it down , not far at all , but that's not a complaint as it is clearly stated so you know what your up against ! 10/10 still 👍
Great little place, never a dull moment there is always something to do . The pool table was a excellent touch 👌 Nice position just off the high street , with shops nearby within walking distance 10/10

United KingdomAmazing set up with the TV, pool/air hockey, darts & ping pong - we booked the wee snug and the royal snug with our friends and it was perfect for a New Year getaway whilst still have our own space. Also would recommend the Golden House Chinese just across the road, great food and fast service!

United KingdomWe didnt like the fact that we had to go home!! I can't answer this question as it's just perfect
The "wee snug" is absolutely amazing and a must try for everyone!! Inside is far bigger than you would ever expect... Very spacious & cozy! Outside is also perfect, very chilled environment but beautiful The wee town of Kincardine o'neil is beautiful, great wee shops and lovely people For sure will be back

United KingdomBeing very picky, the cooking space is small, it is ok but there are not many food options nearby so it is nicer to be able to prep your own. It would benefit from a small oven, but there isn't the space for one. The rest of the facilities worked well.
The location was lovely, tucked away from the road, it was very quiet and pleasant! You got your own private garden space which also felt nice and private. The village itself is only small, but you are not too far from Banchory or Aboyne for smaller shops. The property was clean, warm, tidy, and perfect for I needed it for really.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like.
We enjoyed the peace & quiet. The pool table was such fun & we played so much pool. The wee snug was so well equipped, I did bring some supplies with us but we did not need them as everything was already there. I will be recommending Deeside snugs to family & friends. We had a great time & it was a great place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. 🤩

Everything was provided excluding food and your clothing which made the trip so much easier! Everything was perfect. Lots to do in the snug, from smart tv, games, pool table, dart board, Alexa etc. what made it easier is the owners were contactable at all times, very friendly and willing to help no matter what.

NetherlandsThe lovely Wee Snug had it all. Except from the fun (pool table tennis / air hockey and dartboard), which is a super cool extra, it cannot be stressed enough how super comfortable this accommodation is! It's warm, very complete (including the kitchen) and the shower / bathroom is excellent. Quiet neighbourhood too, so we slept very well.
