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...).

United KingdomThe driveway takes a bit of getting used to. We drove by and approached from the other direction a couple of times.
Friendly, hard working staff. Good breakfasts. We had evening meals at Ravenstone Lodge and Ravenstone Manor. Meals were excellent. We prefer the no pets policy of the lodge, pets seem very welcome over the road. Plenty of hot water and good shower. Fresh milk on request for the room, good supply of tea, coffee, hot choc and Borders biscuits. Really lovely little hotel with great views from the terrace and breakfast/dining room

We had a very comfortable and easy stay here. The bed was comfortable and the views were stunning over the farmland. Breakfast was exceptional too. Thank you!

United KingdomThe furniture in the room we had was a bit too dated and the carpet had seen better days. Unfortunately the bed squeaked a bit, we were only there for a couple of nights so it wasn’t too much of an issue for us.
The location is great. Stunning views and accessible walks from the property. I noticed a bus stop outside the entrance, although we never used it I’m sure if we had stayed longer it would have been handy. The grounds are stunning, the garden is well maintained and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the staff are attentive and happy to help. The concierge staff couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful, even after a late check-in time. There are thoughtful touches that really make you feel looked after, such as: the forecasted weather being printed, reusable bottles, pamphlets available and knowledgeable staff too. The specials for dinner looked incredible, had we not spent the first two days out all day walking and sightseeing we would have loved to have made it in time for an evening meal at the B&B. It smelled amazing when we returned! The view from our little room was lovely! We could hear the birds (and the lambs) in the morning which was a wonderful experience. You can catch a beautiful sunset from the grounds as it dips behind the peaks. The walk down the the lake is apparently 30 mins although we never got a chance to go down, I was told the walk is pleasant.

Hong KongThe bed is a bit squeaky, it made noises when I just want to turn around. Other than that, everything was perfect!
The view of the hotel is absolutely stunning! Sadly we are only staying for one night. We have a nice view from our room, and even a surprising sunset view from the toilet! We had dinner before heading to the hotel, but I instantly regretted it because the menu looks attractive and you could sit outside and look at the great view. The breakfast was very nice as well.
