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.).

GibraltarIf Mount Barker were a hotel, it would be 5-star. The room and premises were immaculate. Breakfast was the best we have had in years of travelling. Karen and Alick were wonderful hosts and provided many suggestions of things to do in the local area.

United StatesWe didn’t get to experience the breakfast, but it smelled wonderful. One needs to be physically capable of climbing the 41 stairs to top floor if booking the self catering flat.
Hosts Karen and Alick were very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the area and Scotland in general. The self catering apartment on the top floor (41 steps in the stairs) had everything we needed and more, and our hosts kindly supplied bread, milk and eggs to get us started. The house has been impeccably restored to its former glory and is welcoming as a home away from home. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a luxury stay in Grantown and I would definitely stay there again.

United StatesThe only thing that interfered in complete happiness was a highly scented jar of incense sticks - once I located it the hosts spirited it away.
The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the bathroom itself was fabulous, with a tub and lovely shower. The hosts welcomed us, provided a sitting room downstairs where a terrific and beautiful breakfast was served, and recommendations for food and activities. One of us was not feeling well one day and we had a quiet day in our room which was lovely to cozy up in.

Everything. Welcoming hosts, spacious rooms with lovely furnishings. A beautiful house close to central Grantown, a short drive away from many things to see in the Cairngorms and Speyside. Apartment had all the necessary essentials plus quite a few extra features which made it a pleasure to stay there.
