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 KingdomThe breakfast was lovely chosen from a good menu. Served in a lovely wee restaurant by friendly and attentive staff. The evening meals were also very good, tasty, piping hot food. All the staff and the manager were helpful and friendly. There was a homely feel. The location of the Inn was just right, in a wee community spirited village, with good bus transport to St Andrews and to Crail and other fishing villages along the coast

United KingdomThe bedroom was comfortable only downside was it was a little dark and overlooked on to a courtyard. There was a blind and curtains, it would have been great to have more privacy and just a little more lighting for the evening.
Lovely location in a peaceful village, well connected to nearby villages and a short distance from St Andrews. Welcoming staff, very helpful - good value for money.

United StatesThe only critique I have was that you couldn’t always control the times the radiator and towel warmers would come on. They appear to run the boilers on a schedule.
This was a charming property located in a strategically excellent village to use as a base for St Andrews area golf. Rooms were very nice with some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on in our four trips to Scotland. Staff was excellent and very responsive.

The Inn is a lovely cosy old pub, in the Fife village of Kingsbarns near to St Andrews and the fishing villages of the East Neuk. The property is community owned and we received a very warm welcome. The menu is not extensive but the food was good quality and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our stay

United KingdomWe had a great four day stay. The establishment is now community owned, and I have to say how well Mark and the team looked after us in that time. The breakfast and evening meals were very good, and the room was ideal. It's a great location for access to St Andrews. Highly recommended.

United StatesNothing. Nada. Nope. This was a great stay and we loved it. We walked down to the ocean each day which was just lovely.
Our stay at Kingsbarns was everything we hoped for and more. From the delicious breakfast, to the comfortable and well stocked room, we felt really cared for staying here. The intimacy of the Inn can't be beat. We were able to chat up guests and the owners or keep to ourselves, as we wished. All the food here was excellent. All the service was excellent. We left feeling like we had a very lovely Scottish experience that we will rave about for years. Harris, the Good Boy made our stay perfect!
