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.).

IndiaNothing major. NOT John's fault but the mobile reception in the room is really bad. Outside is Ok. Plus his wifi is Ok for basic stuff but you can't work with say video calls etc. So Maybe slightly higher speed wifi would go a long way especially given mobile service is not available. All esle was spectacular
The hosts John M was delightful as was his wife Allison. Super gracious and very helpful even lent me their bicycle for a bicycle ride. Cosy little studio room with coffee & tea facilities. Small but Nice bathroom and shower. Instant geyser so don't expect very hot water unless at low flow rate. Very convenient and 10 mins car ride from St Andrews city center. About a 30 min walk so not that bad. And a 15 Min bicycle ride. Would definitely stay here again. again.

United KingdomIt's not really a criticism of the property, but the exit onto the main road leading to St Andrews is obscured by a wall so you have to keep edging out onto the road which is a very fast road to be doing this on.
The seclusion, it was so quiet, and it was exactly what we needed. The facilities were spotless, and unlike previous reviews I read prior to booking the WiFi, it was excellent, and the TV signal was very good.

United KingdomUnfortunately, the wifi was quite flaky so TV couldn't be utilised as it relied on this. Bathroom could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly.
The host was lovely. Very knowledgeable about the local and wider area. The room met our minimal needs for such a short trip. A little fridge with milk and tea/coffee was provided.

United KingdomThe heater was switched off too early so we felt a bit cold in the night although it was turned back on in the morning.
Owner was really helpful, we didn’t know that it was a very long walk to get anywhere to eat dinner but the owner helped to microwave our noodles.
