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 are 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 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 KingdomI can honestly say that there was absolutely nothing that I didn’t dislike about the property…it was exactly what I needed
I loved that it was so central to everything that I was looking for but quiet enough to be able to relax and have the option to be able to take a short walk to what I needed (shops, coffee or even the beach) quite a busy buzz around the area but not too rowdy. Loved that the bus station was just across the road from my accommodation and very well signposted and easy to navigate.

CanadaAlthough the squeaky floors adds to the appeal, it is a little excessive.
We stayed at 6 different properties throughout Scotland and this one is tops on our list. From its A typical quaint feel, to its classic St.Andrews main street frontage, it hits on all points. Loved the great living room windows over looking the bustling street. The high ceilings are perfect for the period. But the owners really pay attention to detail, from the living room furniture styling, very comfortable beds, soft towels and they even provided some snack foods to fill the gaps. The location is ideal for walking to many tourist spots. Do not hesitate booking this spot for an outstanding stay in St.Andrews.

United KingdomEverything was perfect!
Great apartment 5 mins from town and 10 minutes walk from the golf course. Well furnished and spotlessly clean. Lots of utensils, pots, pans etc in the kitchen and a welcome basket of croissants, jam, milk, crisps, chocolate, eggs, orange juice which was a lovely surprise and very thoughtful. Instructions to get in were very straightforward and Lynne the property manager kept us up to date on when the apartment was ready and gave us lots of useful information as did the property owner Roberta. Would highly recommend.

GermanySituated very near to the center. Clean. Everything there what you need. Parking possible just opposite side of the road. You don't hear anything from the pub - especially within the sleeping rooms. Very kind premise manager. Found much stuff in the kitchen, so that it wasn't necessary to buy everything by ourselves.

United KingdomUnfortunately the noise from the bar below was very audible. Not a problem on Friday night but it was very evident that we were staying above the bar on the Saturday.
The location, it was very central. The decor and facilities were exceptional and well maintained. Also, had a very relaxed feel but yet was decorated to a high standard. The welcome basket and items in the fridge were unexpected and a very pleasant surprise.

United KingdomThe floorboards were very creeky so could imagine this might not be great if you're a light sleeper and others are moving around the apartment....luckily wasn't an issue for me as I could sleep through anything 😊
The apartment was really great and decorated beautifully. The location was excellent for exploring St Andrew's as it was pretty much all on the doorstep.

United KingdomThe master bed is small but as big as it could be for the room size. The sofa and chairs look good but really there’s a lack of lounging space for four people. No dishwasher. The blinds are not blackout in the bedrooms and I imagine it would be an issue in the short nights of summer. The pub below was a surprise but not noisy probably because it was mid winter. It may be different when the university is in attendance so should be mentioned in the advertisement.
Location was perfect, with a homely feel to the decoration and good parking. Thoughtful welcome pack.

United KingdomI was a little concerned to find we were upstairs from a bar, but in the event we were not disturbed at all. As the bedrooms are at the rear of the property I imagine it is rarely (if ever) a problem.
Such a warm and comfortable place, with everything you could want. A very well stocked kitchen. Very central location. Beautifully furnished with a great bathroom and very comfortable beds.
