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.).

United KingdomThe service was exceptional. Margaret and Bryce were so attentive and couldn't have been more helpful. They were super friendly. We were attending a wedding nearby and they both dropped us off and picked us up at the wedding so we didn't need to get a taxi. The room was fantastic with a very comfy bed and fantastic bath. The breakfast was super fresh with a great selection. Beautiful surroundings and a fantastic couple

United KingdomWould ‘raise’ the bar even higher if there could be a small kettle for hot water in the room.
The commitment from Margaret and Bryce to ensure that we not only enjoyed our stay at their property but also that we could fully enjoy the wedding we were attending by arranging travel and a nice cup of tea on our return to their home made a special day a very special break

United Kingdomcan't think of anything!
If we could give this place a higher than 10 rating, we definitely would. The hosts are incredibly kind and engaging, the house is lovely, the location is ideal. They had afternoon tea awaiting us and we stayed up late having a delightful conversation with them. We are already planning our next trip back for a longer visit to Ayrshire, an area we are eager to explore.

United KingdomNot a single thing.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Havenwood, and we can't say enough about the wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality. Margaret & Bryce's thoughtful breakfasts were a delightful start to each day, and joining them for cups of tea in the sun provided great conversation, laughs and tips and tricks for our trip. They struck the perfect balance between being friendly hosts and respecting our privacy, allowing us to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The accommodation itself was outstanding. The shower was truly awesome and the bed and pillows were exceptional. The area surrounding Margaret & Bryce's place was tranquil and serene, offering us a peaceful retreat from the wedding weekend we attended. And if it is a wedding at the Brig you're attending then this accommodation gets no better and no closer! But what truly sets this accommodation apart is Margaret & Bryce themselves. They both go the extra mile to ensure their guests' comfort and satisfaction. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for them, and their dedication to creating a memorable experience was evident in every interaction. We wholeheartedly recommend Havenwood to anyone visiting Ayr. Whether you're seeking relaxation, friendly conversation, or a cozy retreat, you'll find it all here. Trust us, you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to return for another stay in the future. Thank you!
