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 room was very cramped and cluttered. Barely any space to get ready. Tea facilities were in a drawer as no surface to put on. The door into the bathroom barely cleared the sink. They were offering breakfast at £20pp. I mean how fancy can a scottish breakfast be? Found better elsewhere.
The room was lovely in decor and the location was perfect.

United KingdomLeaky toilet so got wet feet off the floor where it was coming up through floor joints. Did report it and told plumber would be called. Appreciate it was a Saturday and not sure if plumber looked at it when we were out during the day or not but issue wasn’t resolved.
Ideal location. Bed really comfy. Offered complimentary breakfast but because booked through booking.com I said when booked it would be extra. Haar said that seems to be an issue with booking.com, they always offer complimentary breakfast so we missed out on that one morning. Staff very helpful and breakfast on the morning we had it was lovely.

United KingdomOn arrival we were not informed that breakfast was included or given any information about the location or timings of breakfast and therefore assumed it was a room-only set up. I thus didn’t take advantage of the inclusive breakfast and headed out to buy brunch independently on both days of my stay! A missed opportunity. I’ve found in every other hotel that informing guests about breakfast arrangements forms a standard part of the welcome procedure so found this rather odd.
This is a fabulous place to stay! Really beautifully appointed rooms with fabulous bed and linens. The offer of a cocktail on arrival was especially lovely!

United StatesThe room was nice, very small, windows had broken seals so foggy on the inside but the view was nice once open. The floors were very uneven. It’s an old place. A lot of steps up to top floor so not for someone who doesn’t do steps well.
David was great, very helpful and attentive, and the breakfast was wonderful! The bathroom and bed were comfortable and very quiet!

DenmarkWould be nice to have more vegetarian options to breakfast choices. Although it's not a traditional hotel, and they make clear there are no traditional hotel amenities, it would be nice to have access to a small "common" space for working or meetup outside of the room. In warm/dry weather the small balcony is perfect, but the only drawback of the property imho.
Room was lovely (although we had a little trouble getting the BBC to work on the tv), staff amazing, breakfast fantastic. Despite having no common space for working while on business, staff were extremely accommodating. One of my new favourite spots to stay in St Andrews.

Great location, great quality products in room- coffee machine, hairdryer and straighteners, lovely local toiletries to name some. Breakfast was delicious - will have dinner next time. Staff were very accommodating. Great drink selection to enjoy on terrace - tasty and different mocktails for a change.
