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.).

United KingdomIncredible hotel. It was clear that from the very top to the very bottom, everyone at this hotel seriously cares about giving the very vest customer experience possible. The whiskey room was such a classy touch for a hotel in Scotland. I've never seen it before and the girl there was an incredible whiskey host. Waitressing staff and management too were all amazing. Very very good, best hotel I've stayed in in a long time.

United KingdomThe original room we got given was dated and also has a smell to it and when we entered the room the windows had condensation. Also noticed the room was dusty and the kettle had dust in it too. Thankfully the member of staff moved us to a cottage and it was much better. I really appreciated this as I would have been upset otherwise so thank you

United KingdomThe only points I would raise were the vegetarian menu was limited with only 2 main meal items on the menu, this meant my wife had to repeat one meal as we had a 3 night stay. Also,the jacuzzi wasn’t working in the Spa.
From the moment we arrived we were treated very very well. We found the staff to be very friendly and professional. The facilities were excellent, the hotel was very clean and the food was fantastic. We used the Spa and it to was great.

Netherlandsif you are in a cottage 5 star than you do not have free access to the spa. this is not communicated either by the hotel or on the booking website. this is very misleading towards the customer. from the booking website you get the idea that you booked your five star residence with spa with free access which is thus not true. a bit of a shame for such a nice place. they need to change this and adjust the price accordingly plus be clear on this point on the website. staff knew about this and we were told that they will change. staff was also rude to explain thus to us. what do you mean with will change? be clear and transparent now i would say. second point the food in the restaurant is completely overpriced. you eat there once and never get back - sorry to say that!

United KingdomThe pillows were hard and uncomfortable. Dinner was expensive and the food was more fine dining than expected, given they have a fine dining restaurant. It would have been good to have a cheaper steak option. There was no drying room or specific rod racks for fishing gear which was surprising given the amount of fishing close by!
Our room was light, clean and comfortable. Dinner was very good. The Spa was clean and smelt lovely rather than the usual chlorine! Pool was good for laps although could have been a bit bigger.
