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.).

Fantastic location, immersed in a park with centuries-old plants, a real mansion from times gone by. Excellent room. Genuine and home made breakfast. Internal free parking. Ian has been a truly wonderful host, a great hospitality and full of advice to improve our experience in Scotland. This location is worth a trip...

United KingdomLoved everything about Carnach House.
The hosts were so lovely and easy to talk to. It was a privilege to be welcomed into their beautiful family home. The room we had was immaculate, cosy and massive! To open the blinds to see busy red squirrels was an added treat. Breakfast was delicious, super hot and the egg was perfect. Thank you very much Ian and Hilary for being so welcoming, we hope to return soon.

United KingdomDon’t understand the question!!!
I don’t have time to list what we liked. Suffice to say it was superb. A glorious property lovingly looked after and presented. We arrived and our room overlooking the rear garden was wonderful. We enquired about some wine glasses and cork screw. All provided and we were then informed we could use the drawing room. It was unbelievable. A beautiful place to spend time conversing and enjoying a good red. Breakfast was a great presentation and tasty, which helps. We were even given birthday cake last night as the owners daughters were celebrating their birthdays. It might be a long way from Cardiff but this really is a place you know you will return too. Just wonderful.

United KingdomWe had the warmest of welcomes, we were only there overnight as we were on our way to pick up a hire boat for a holiday. But we will definitely be back for a longer stay. Our room was spotless and so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with a wonderful view of the garden and our hosts were lovely.

United StatesThere was nothing we disliked. It would have been convenient if the hotel had a more traditional front desk that was staffed for checking in/out, or if there was a restaurant on site serving lunch/dinner. However, those things are very minor and may have detracted from the charm of the hotel if they had been there!
Gorgeous building and grounds, HUGE lavishly appointed bedroom and bathroom, wonderful breakfast, perfect location. I can't say enough good things about Carnach House! It was beyond our expectations.
