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 KingdomInstructions ahead could have been a little clearer - just in terms of coming into the right gate. But was all good! Everything else was fab!
Lovely room with a wonderfully comfortable bed, decorated beautifully and a fab bathroom. The setting of the BnB is stunning, picture perfect little courtyard when you arrive and views of the countryside. Tasty breakfast in the morning and lots of nice places to eat a short drive away. We didn't use the pool but will be back to have a go next time!

An excellent, clean and spacious b&b run by friendly and helpful hosts. Whilst we did not avail ourselves of the pool and sauna facilities, both were available and might have been very appealing on a future trip. Our room was large, very clean and tidy and equipped to a high level with a large comfortable bed. The breakfast was excellent. Overall, highly recommended.

Robert and Paula are exceptional hosts. They have a wonderful B&B and the facilities are very clean, comfortable and of a very high standard. The pool, jacuzzi and sauna were a knockout! Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice and enjoyed in the spacious dining hall. Our hosts made us feel like part of a family rather than strangers. We will definitely be back again soon.

United KingdomMy only thing I didn't like was the steps down into the pool, needs new steps which go further down to nearer bottom of the pool, ist step up out of pool is very high up. Pool, jacuzzi, and sauna etc were lovely and very clean.
Room was lovely and big, and bathroom was amazing lovely large walkin shower and also a large bath. Breakfast was excellent, in a lovely warm room with a wood burner fire. Hosts were exceptional. They were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, very lovely couple. We have already decided to go back there next year. Pool, sauna and jacuzzi were spotless and loved every minute of our stay and time there.

United KingdomGreat wee night away at the B&B. Lovely hosts, lovely location, pool & room were absolutely spotless. 10/10. The hosts also accommodated us to a small continental breakfast due to us needing to be out at 7.30am. We didn’t expect any breakfast but this was a really nice gesture. Will book again if we need to visit Montrose in the future.
