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.).

Genial host. Beautifully cooked breakfast, comfy bed & easy to use shower. Large TV lounge for exclusive use of the 2 or 4 guests in the party. Plenty of local guides to browse as well.

Quite certainly the best B&B we've ever stayed in! Everything was PERFECT : John and David were wonderful hosts from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The house is beautiful and so clean, the decoration and equipment are wonderful and the full Scottish breakfast was excellent! Wish we could have stayed longer!! Even a lovely cake on arrival - they really look after their guests!

United KingdomNo complaints whatsoever, fabulous stay.
Everything was above expectations, Breakfast was superb, rooms were spotless and comfortable and the location was within five minutes of everything we required. We enjoyed the freedom to come and go as we pleased with no pressure from the hosts and basically treat the place as our own during our stay. Provisions supplied were the best I have ever seen in a guest house and we were free to eat and drink anything we wanted from these provisions.

United KingdomGowanlea is a home from home, the property is beautiful, the rooms are so comfortable… the extras provided are exceptional… teas, coffees, snacks in the lounge and in the bedrooms… we even had cake left for us one day (which was delicious). The hosts go above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely, good selection (also had extras as well as what was ordered) parking at rear of property is an added bonus. Good location.

John was exceptionally attentive and helpful when I had a bronchitis and was considering seeking medical care. That was before I ever reached his property. My daughter and I were offered two rooms, both spacious, and well appointed there were a variety of snacks, yogurts, and drinks available in each room. The sitting room is lovely and filled with good reads.

United KingdomThe only thing, I could possibly make comment on with this section, is that the bedroom door closer had a little quirk to.
Gowanlea Heights is extremely well positioned in a quiet area just outside the the town centre of Campbeltown making it peaceful and very convenient for all amenities. John and David (proprietors) made us feel extremely welcome from the outset. We were met with a friendly smile and warming welcome. John showed us around the property which was clean, well furnished and comfortable. A nice touch was the availability of drinks and snacks in the living room which you could help yourself to. Of particular use was the provided web information, recommending local restaurants and places of interest. Breakfast was absolutely superb, a large selection of food available to cater for all tastes. Although we chose to eat out in the evening, there was also the option of purchasing and eating takeaway food with the guest house, with crockery and cutlery provided. Parking is provided at the rear of the property.

This was the most valuable and luxurious staying I've ever experienced. Especially I really loved the breakfast. I don't have enough vocabularies to explain how it was so delicious. Also many notes made us happier because foreign tourists (like us) don't much know about etiquettes in the UK.
