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 KingdomNothing except the weather which Robert and Catriona have no control over.
A warm and welcoming B&B from beginning to end of stay with everything you could want. Wonderful variety for breakfast with freshly cooked hot food on a hot plate. Nice one Robert! We hadn't thought of B&B but reading the reviews changed our minds. A hard working couple who deserve the great reviews. We will visit again if we are in East Neuk

We stayed at a few places on our Scotland trip, and this was hands down the best. The room is beautiful and well maintained, the owners are friendly, food was great, it's a short distance to the harbor etc. etc.

United KingdomNil.
Very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and spacious rooms with a walking in ensuite. Booked the room only an hour before my arrival as it was a last-minute booking. I received a message from the owner confirming they would be in for my arrival, even though they were out for the day. I found this very assuring. My son loved the man cave at the bottom of the garden, with pool and darts. Breakfast was very good, with no shortage of food and refreshments, I may well come back with my wife in the future. Very close proximity to main street on the front of Anstruther for food and drink. Only a 4 minute walk.

United KingdomNothing. Everything was spot on.
Our hosts, Robert and Catriona, were lovely, very helpful and friendly. Location was quiet, but ideal for access to town centre and harbour and for bus services to other locations. Breakfast was great, plenty of options (including some home made jam). The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice lounge, garden and games area. We would not hesitate to recommend this B & B to anyone going to this area.

Our room was beautifully decorated to a high standard with an amazing shower. A 5 min walk into the harbour with a variety of places to eat. You will enjoy.
