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 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 KingdomAs a listed building , the lack of a lift to the higher floors, cannot be installed. I would employ a bell-boy/ porter to assist guests with luggage. I am 78 & would have been so appreciative of some help lugging up my stuff to room 15!! That said I'm sure any member of staff who would have been available, would have lent a hand. When we arrived the car park was full & a big event was being held..so all hands were busy. Employ a porter !
The staff on reception were delightful! In fact all staff worked quietly & courteously. The menu was amazing! Great chef ! The variety & quality of the food was excellent! I hosted a small dinner for friends on the Friday evening & all commented on the standard of the food , beautiful & plentiful! Lovely service! I ate at another hotel on the Saturday..our school reunion was held there..The Alloway Brig o Doon Hotel, The Savoy Park Hotel cuisine was much superior & more reasonably priced!

Wonderful historic building, beautifully furnished with delightful grounds, a block from the sea and short walk to shopping, restaurants and pubs. A short drive to Robert Burns birthplace/house and museum, and also the famous Brig O'Doon. . .bridge over the river Doon.

United KingdomLimited for space in dining/breakfast area, but a small table set with breakfast buffet offering fruit juice, butter, jams, etc would be an advantage. Waitress will bring on request, but not obvious as not offered on breakfast menu. Evening meal menu quite limited, but food well prepared and presented. Change of Chef resulted in breakfast orders being supplied, but differing from that stated on menu.
Warm, cosy hotel with an excellent roomy bedroom and large bathroom. Evening meal very tasty and good service. Excellent breakfast with extras on request. Car parking free and spacious and town centre and beach only a short distance away.

United KingdomLots of stairs with a heavy case to our high level room, but definitely worth it. The room was great.
Beautiful building, full of character, unlike many soulless modern hotels. Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff, great location just short stroll from town and the seafront. So nice to sit in the sun in the beautifully kept gardens and enjoy a drink after a long drive.
