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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Aberlady is a beautiful coastal place with amazing views & walks. We were there only for a few days but loved the scenery we saw on our drives & walks. The Inn is a beautiful building, renovated with all that you need to make your stay comfortable We had a family room with en-suite - super clean, comfy beds, pristine sheets. We had lovely food for breakfast, all the usual options of cooked breakfasts. Served quickly & efficiently. Again everything was clean & comfortable. The best thing about Aberlady Inn is the staff. They are all so warm & friendly and they took such great care to make our stay feel perfect. Highly recommend!

GermanyMy room was on the street in front of the hotel, so there was traffic noise which fortunately much less at night. It took me a while to figure out how to get the shower to work, but I figured it out. I should have just asked the staff.
For golfing, a perfect location. An older building but very comfortable. Coffee, tea, water and cookies in the room was a nice feature. Parking on the street was easy but things were very narrow with the traffic. The noise from the traffic was much less at night. The personnel was very helpful and friendly. Excellent food in their restaurant where I was on four evenings. A very generous breakfast taken to order.

United StatesNot a negative, since it's well disclosed, but the parking is street parking. We had no difficulty finding a spot on the safe high street. Most times within 100 feet of the front door of the Inn.
Warm welcome, excellent hospitality. Food at breakfast and dinner were excellent. The Inn is an excellent base for golfers exploring East Lothian. A few minutes from Kilspindie and Gullane, and about 15 minutes from North Berwick. The train to Edinburgh is nearby (five minutes drive with good parking) at Longniddry (only 19 minutes to the City). On top of all this, an excellent value.

United KingdomThere was noise from underneath our room until about 11.45pm on the first night which kept me awake as im sensitive to noise. However, we understand this is a pub environment.
Lovely clean accommodation with very friendly staff. Great selection for breakfast which we all really enjoyed. The location is brilliant and near to the sea front. It's only about half an hours drive into the centre of Edinburgh.
