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 KingdomAlthough there was some good information supplied. Checking in on a Sunday afternoon some information on somewhere to shop would have been useful. We didn’t have a car so a nearby shop would have been good to know.
We loved the location. The property was clean and warm. Well supplied with everything we needed. We appreciated earlier check in. And a key being available. Sarah was helpful when I called.

United KingdomWater from kitchen tap turned yellow when boiling.. not sure if that's just the hard water in the region or the pipes/taps need cleaning. Also lots of floating limescale in the kettle. Found it difficult to adjust the temperature of the radiators, digital screen.
Very clean apartment. Modern furnishing. Good storage space.

United KingdomThere isn’t anything we didn’t like, however, to enhance our stay, it would have been nice to have a small coffee table for drinks, whilst sat on the sofa, mirror in the WC, shelving in the bathroom and perhaps a small dresser unit in the bedroom. Everything was absolutely exceptional.
From the moment we made our booking, my partner and I were always kept very well informed by Sarah, of our forthcoming stay and what to expect when we arrived. When we did arrive, we both knew that we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect apartment, in such a convenient location, with lovely views. We were greeted by the warmth of the heating when we entered, which was pleasant considering the cold conditions outside. The apartment was immaculately clean, fresh and tidy, providing us with the essentials we needed, to make our stay very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. We were presented with very useful information and instructions, which really helped, as well as a lovely bottle of Prosecco, which was a very kind and generous welcome gift. There is ample parking around the Quay and we always had a space close to the apartment building. The local amenities are only a short, few minutes walk from the apartment. We can’t thank Sarah enough, for her exceptional level of service and offering an absolutely incredible apartment, which we’ll definitely be booking again in the future. We highly recommend Shoregate apartments to family and friends alike. Thank you so very much.

United KingdomSome may find the location a little bit out od the way but I found the location down by the river Tweed great. The facilities are very modern and the heating system in the accommodation worked very well during my winter stay. The oven and kitchen area where good and there was both tea and coffee options available. I was also given a free bottle of prosecco for my stay. Not my favourite drink but it got finished anyway.

United KingdomThere is almost nothing that can be faulted with the Drawing Room. It is upstairs which didn't bother us and enhanced the view, however I believe the ground floor Weights and Measures apartment is owned by the same host and online looks very similar.
Fantastic location on the Quayside with lots of free parking even on a bank holiday weekend. The views of the Tweed are spectacular and the property is only a short walk from all the restaurants, shops, and amenities in the city centre. The apartment was surprisingly quiet given the location and the facilities were just what we wanted with an open plan kitchen / sitting room, dining room that felt spacious plus a comfortable bedroom and clean en-suite.

United KingdomBeing really picky here, overall we loved the property. The WiFi was a little slow and although there was a lot of space in the closet we would have liked a couple of drawers.
The facilities were excellent. The kitchen was clean and modern. Everything we needed was provided. Parking was a doddle in the car park outside. We were worried it would be noisy but we didn’t have any issues. Great views over the River Tweed, we got to see the famous swans from our window.

Well what can we say, the photos did not do this property justice. Awesome from start to finish. Looking for a quiet location with fantastic views. The property had everything you needed and the hosts kept in touch to make sure you were looked after. Honestly takes a lot for me to do a review but this well worth a mention…..go there!!
