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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 only slightly negative was our room on the top floor that we had. It is rather hot and the bathroom a bit cramped but ok for 1 night
We have stayed here many times on our way up to Scotland and always enjoyed our stays, the hotel is only a couple of minutes from the motorway and in pleasant grounds. The restaurant is a delightful room and the food excellent and you can eat in the bar if you wish

United KingdomThe welcome was so warm and heartfelt and made us so comfortable like we knew him all our life and the staff all the same could not do enough for you. The Room was exceptional and so clean the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. We had the best sleep imaginable. The meals (Evening and Breakfast) we cannot fault the food or the standard of service way above exceptional. The Bar is superb and friendly atmosphere. How this hotel has only a 3 star rating is beyond me we have stayed in 5 star hotels and cannot compare to this Gem. Will definitely be our number one Hotel whenever we are visiting the area or surrounding locations.

New ZealandWould not be appropriate for wheelchair access/shower.
The accommodation for disabled people worked well for us as there were some stairs to climb. The hosts rearranged our rooms to allow us better access. Food was excellent; helpings large though. Room was warm, the first autumn frosts had arrived! Host gave us some excellent ideas for our time in the region. The Devils Porridge Museum was very sobering around war and the impact on Civilians.

United KingdomThere was othing we did not like. If we were very picky we would have liked a higher top end to the wine list. Having said that the wine we had was very good and excellent value for money.
Comfort, quality of the room and furnishings, cleanliness, food was excellent, quality of public areas were superb. However above all that the staff were all lovely, friemdly and helpful. A minor problem when we first arrived was dealt with superbly. I feel that it is when something goes wrong and their reaction to it differentiates the excellent from the very good. My partner and I would love to return if the opportunity comes up and I would happily pay another 50% on top of what we paid for this hotel.
