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 Fife Lodge Hotel was a great place to stay. The room was clean, comfortable, modern - special mention to the bedside lamps; the shower was fantastic and the bathroom products were excellent - you will need to bring a face cloth. The food onsite was great, breakfast was a real treat that did not hold back on its portions, and dinner was such hearty food, perfect for our celebration. And on that, as neither of us can take alcohol, the hotel was completely agreeable to chilling and serving the zero alcohol wine we brought with us.

United KingdomOne or two small issues with the room which were reported when we checked out and I'm sure will be addressed. The restaurant was very noisy on the particular evening we were there due to a fairly large group meeting up (luck of the draw :)) With the benefit of hindsight we should perhaps have asked to move as there seemed to be plenty of tables available at the time. That's on us.
Despite being near to a road it seemed very quiet and our room had a pleasant outlook across fields and trees. The room was a very generous size and the cleanliness was excellent. Both the evening meal and breakfast were of a very high standard. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

The location of the hotel set in its own gardens on the outskirts of Banff was superb. The staff were very helpful. Room was spotless and a great size with all requirements. Meals served in the restaurant were of superb quality, a great choice at a reasonable price.

We absolutely loved staying here. The staff (all women) were marvellous! So helpful, friendly and couldn't do more for us. We loved the bar area and the food in the restaurant was very good. We watched a baby deer and rabbits stroll through the garden as we ate our breakfast! The rooms are very spacious as is the bathroom.
