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 KingdomThe decor is dated which I quite liked, but if you want modern, this is not. It's a big building and some corridors smelled a bit damp/ musty.
The location is great, the staff were lovely. We had a really nice dinner and the ambience in the restaurant was nice; clearly a place that locals come to.

United KingdomThe car park has not enough spaces, guests were leaving their cars on the narrow lane far from the entrance. Not easy to carry the luggage and to climb the steps.

United KingdomThe purpose of our stay was Butefest, an annual music festival on Bute. We were back in the hotel shortly after 8pm and hoped for food however there was nothing except crisps and nuts, would have been good to have even a toastie or something but nothing to be had.
Room was a small double which had everything we needed, was clean and the bed was comfortable. Location was good, parking was available, staff were friendly. Didn't eat at the hotel as we were too late on the Saturday, and left very early on the Sunday so didn't have breakfast, so can't comment on how good or otherwise the food was.

United KingdomAs above, a better shower. The shower went cold while using and not much pressure. wouldn't put me off staying but certainly could be improved.
The room was bit dated, but we are not fussy, so it was clean and bed was comfortable, we were facing the back but looking out on to green space so absolutely fine.My only real gripe was the shower...not very powerful and it kept going cold. Small thing but still enjoyed our stay

United KingdomOur room was well equipped and clean, but our window overlooked a rather untidy area to the rear of the hotel. First impressions as we arrived was to view a doorway area sadly in need of repair although the main entrance too the front of the hotel was fabulous. There was no information to explain if work was being carried out?
Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the food was great and reasonably priced. The view from the front terrace was fab. Would certainly stay here again

United KingdomIt’s a bit run down in parts, with the odd area sealed off from the public for repairs that look like they might be a long time coming. Though that didn’t interfere with our stay. It’s probably far from its Victorian pomp, yet it remains a magnificent building and long may it continue to operate as a hotel so people can experience it.
It’s clearly a feature property overlooking Rothesay bay. Great views from the front. Rooms were nicely appointed and very comfortable. Food and drink menus offer a good variety of options. Staff had a nice friendly manner about them.
