Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SingaporeInternet could be abit faster but staying at such a nice place, I didn’t have the time to use my phone much.
It exceeded our expectations. Rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. With the fully equipped kitchen, we even managed to cook our dinners. TV has Netflix, etc installed, so you can also enjoy movies on the comfy sofa. And there were load of chips too.

United KingdomThis was a tremendous find and we would heartily recommend staying at Linda's! The location is a 5 minute drive from all the golf courses and town of St Andrews. We didn't try the local inn as we were playing golf every day and ate in the town (see my separate reviews!) The apartment was very clean, very comfortable, very well equipped for a short stay and warm. Lots of hot water and soft towels. Next time I will be requesting a bath though, which I had not specified and so we had a lovely large shower room. I think some of the flats have a bath too. The furniture and look is exactly as per the photos on the Booking.com website. This is a super quiet spot, tucked away but with wonderful views across the coastline, and with scenic walks from the door. Thank you Linda, we hope to be back soon!

United KingdomFor a self catering apartment, there were limited utensils for cooking a meal. However, we enjoyed improvising and achieved the following with a a potato masher: sieving, pine nut crushing, cheese grating and lemon zesting. Golf city cabs took out booking then failed to show.
Well appointed, traditional with a modern twist. Very good size for a couple.

United States of AmericaWe came at night and our GPS stopped at the nearest crossroad. We had to ask 2 other groups of people where it was!!!
We were a little out of town but not too far. Roads were paved. The property was nearly new and really nicely finished. We did have to go up and down stairs to sleep and use bathroom but we left our luggage downstairs!!

Location was lovely. Off very quite country road, approx 5 miles from St Andrews. Local pub/restaurant about 1 mile away (no pavement part way but not an issue as the road isn't too busy) for a fairly level walk.

United KingdomEvery thing was perfect..... the only thing we didn't like.... was ..... having to leave and go home!!!!
The location of the property (we stayed in The Byre) is in a perfect location.... very quiet (most of the time, you couldn't hear a pin drop) - there is a road nearby, but you could hardly hear the traffic, when it passed by! We had a lovely view from the property... as it sits 'up hill' - you can see 'for miles'. Our bedroom was at the back of the property.... and we both slept very well..... in fact, the best 3 nights sleep I have had in a long time!!!! The Byre is very well laid out and is very cosy and comfortable......We will be back, at some point......Thank you, Linda & Peter, for looking after us so well!!!

United States of AmericaIt was a bit chilly and it took a while to warm up. Bathroom door squeaks. Soap holder in the shower is one of those without a bottom. So you keep your small bottles on the shower's floor. In the bathroom there is not a plug for the hairdryer. The location is a bit far from downtown Saint Andrews which discourages one to break the day and return for a rest during the day.
The apartment is lovely, new and clean, furnished with good taste and harmonious, relaxing colors. Comfy bed. Spacious bathroom. Nice to have robes! We appreciated the goodies and the guidebooks available for our use and the promptness with which Linda, the owner, responded to our questions.
