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 KingdomNo evening meals and bar is currently only open a few days per week. Would be good to have bar/meals available - I was aware of this before booking. Food available 10 minutes drive.
Good breakfast. Made to order. Clean, comfortable. Ideal location. Friendly and welcoming staff.

United KingdomKettle was iffy with the on and off, but after a few clicks it behaved itself. Had to check in through the main bar of the pub, with clients at the bar which was off putting and felt like I was intruding on their evening
The bed was sooooooooooooooooo comfortable - like being in a marshmellow! Room was small but comfortable and clean and well maintained Well stocked with tea coffee chocolate biscuits etcs Shower was across the landing but was a personal shower with my own key, not shared. It just wasnt in the room with me but there was a clean w/c and basin in the room which was completely fine with toiletries in there too.

United KingdomThis isn’t a dislike, just a note for those looking for amenities on the doorstep. For connection to Edinburgh and Glasgow the location is great. The village itself is only small, offering a Morrisons local/post office. The village pub is only open weekends, with the nearest restaurant being a drive away.
Friendly and accommodating host. Cosy room, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed. Have to comment on the lovely fresh smelling towels. Good selection of fruits, cereals, yogurts and pastries on the continental breakfast.

United KingdomNote: Shower facilities are shared with the other rooms (two shower rooms between the three bedrooms) - not a problem when we were there as we were the only guests!
The whole facility is newly refurbished, with nice decor and a very comfortable bed. The continental breakfast was very nice, and overall it was great value. The host was very welcoming and happy to deal with our dietary needs.

United KingdomIt has newly reopened so catering on site was limited, but that will improve as they get fully open. Car parking is a bit limited on site, but there is parking around the green opposite. The room has en suite loo and washbasin, but the shower is not en suite which is a bit inconvenient.
Proprietor was friendly, room clean and comfortable. The position was good for visiting with a dog

United KingdomThere was no warning about the lack of evening meal, so I had to drive 15 mins to a takeaway then eat in my room. Also, and I know it was needs must etc, but I ended up sharing the breakfast table with another couple, and whilst I know it couldn't be helped, it was just a little weird being as I didn't know them (but they were lovely).
Room was great, owner was behind the bar and showed me to my room, she was very helpful and friendly. Bathroom was nice and modern. Nice bar area, although apparently the restaurant side was being refurbished, so there were no meals or food being served.

United KingdomLocation is quite rural but you'd know that when booking. About forty minutes to Edinburgh. Staff were lovely and helpful. The pub had a friendly atmosphere. Not a lot in the immediate area other than a shop but Lanark is about 10 mins away by car. Would stay again if I was that way.

United KingdomNo fault of host but other guests continually banged doors instead of closing them. I understand the need for the type of plumbing system, but it's noisy so if other guests are up early or late to bed this will wake you.
Host was welcoming, room clean and access to extras if needed in the hall which is good. Very dog friendly and my dog was able to be next to me during breakfast. Good choice for breakfast. Would stay again
