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 KingdomBe good if a bit more storage. Only a coat stand for your clothes. Be aware that the private loo and shower is outside the room (just a few steps away) but there is a sink in the room too.
Great location! We had a top floor room with very comfortable bed. Great to hear the water as you drift off to sleep. It’s right across from the harbour. Bus stops right outside to take you to St Andrews or Edinburgh. Super kitchen well stocked with cooking gear and spices, teas etc. Fresh flowers in the kitchen and bedroom were lovely.

JapanSharing a room with people! But I didn’t have a choice :) Access to sockets in the bedroom is too few. Only 2 double sockets which are tricky to access, and 8 beds. Always take eye mask and ear plugs and you’ll be fine.
Very comfortable beds Super clean kitchen and fresh flowers added a welcome touch The manager was genuinely a nice guy

Fabulous view from window. Room very clean and most importantly for me there was a feather duvet on the bed. The bed was really comfortable.

It has a spacious salon and kitchen. I like that detailed instructions for entry are sent prior to arrival, so easy and convenient. Full points for this lodging!

Communication was very good and self check in, easy. The hostel is spacious, well equipped and very clean. The highlight is the beautiful location at the Anstruther Harbour with stunning sea views from the bedroom. There are a number of coffee shops, restaurants and a very good local bakery, which were very handy. We loved the coastal path to Pittenweem and the beautiful tidal pool at Cellerdyke.
