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 KingdomThe parking was on the street. However a parking pass was issued and we never had trouble finding a space.
It was in a good location, walking distance to the beach and town. The room was clean and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was cooked to perfection, best eggs ever. It was lovely to start the day with such friendly and helpful people, you are the heart and soul of By The Sea.

United KingdomSuper location. Very central but also very peaceful. Close to the sea front and a short stroll to the high street. The room was very comfortable with a surprisingly very good electric shower. The extra touches, such as the Scottish Fine Soap products made it feel special. The hosts were brilliant. Extremely friendly and helpful. And everything was topped off with a great breakfast each day.

MalaysiaFound the room a little cold when we got back from dinner & couldn't figure out the heating (being from Asia & not used to heaters!) We didnt want to want to bother the hosts so late so just jumped under the covers and were soon toasty! Our stay was too short to enjoy this place fully & we left before breakfast time so didnt get to savour it - not the fault of the accommodation at all.
Met warmly at door by host. Beautiful room, cosy armchairs and comfy bed. Funky wooden chair in bathroom. Wide selection of coffee/tea/choc/ biscuits & pretty mugs. Quick response to email queries by host pre-stay on how to get there. & they booked our early-morning cab to the airport for us. Very close to beach n short walk to town. The whole street was also very attractive.

ItalyThe only point that presents room for improvement is the WiFi: not super reliable at times.
The B&B is extremely conveniently located at walking distance from Ayr Bus Station (the easiest way to reach this town, now that the train station is disrupted) and from the seaside. The comfort of the bedding was a pleasant surprise: those mattress and pillows ensured many nights of excellent sleep. Cleanliness at top level, shower and toilet with very nice complimentary products. Delicious breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff.

United KingdomWe forgot to order breakfast, but it did smell good as we were leaving in the morning.
I booked a twin room for me and my son so we could attend a music festival at the pavilion. The room was 2 mins away, which was absolutely perfect. We had a nice welcome on arrival, and a spotless room. Smart TV, fridge, plenty tea, coffee and towels.
