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 KingdomFound staff to be distracted and slow to respond - including who I assume to be management on checking in. Left us standing around for too long a time whilst they chatted - shame really. Same at breakfast and on leaving.
Stayed one night bed & breakfast. Accommodation and breakfast were lovely.

United KingdomThe breakfast was disappointing in that there was no cereal and we had to ask for juice. Luckily we didn't want a continental breakfast. The quality of the cooked food served at breakfast was very good. As the room was on the second floor you should consider some sort of lift for luggage. I'm fit so managed the cases but I think many would find it a struggle.
The room was a good size and really comfortable though a wider choice of teas/coffees etc. would have been made it better.

United KingdomThe room could have been cleaned better while we were staying there and the coffee maker didn’t work properly.
The staff was so friendly and helpful, the facilities and breakfast were really lovely, the room was really nice with heated floors in the bathroom. There was a fridge with fresh milk and a really great GHD hair drier you don’t expect at a hotel. The location was so central andn convenient! Highly recommend.

United KingdomThe staff were really friendly and helpful and this really made our stay. The room is really clean, modern and comfortable. The location is really central too which really increased the value for money on the stay. Likewise, a lovely breakfast was included which also made the stay really great value. The breakfast menu was really varied for all requirements. We had dinner and drinks in the Saint as well and throughly enjoyed it and again the staff were very friendly. I can strongly recommend the Saint for staying in St Andrews or for drinks and dinner. We will definitely use the Saint again and thank you to the staff for making it such a great stay!

United KingdomOn the first night of our stay, there was a group of people who were talking really loudly outside for about 30-40mins from just after midnight. This obviously wasn’t the hotel’s fault but it was a bit annoying. (The hotel is a bar and restaurant also)
We received a warm, friendly and helpful welcome from staff on arrival for our two night stay. They apologised for tv not working in the room, however they gave us a generous discount on our room rate, which was appreciated. The room was lovely, spacious, clean and tidy. Bed was big and comfortable, while the bathroom was lovely, with a great shower. We dined at the restaurant on the first night and enjoyed our meal. There was plenty of choice on the breakfast menu, which was available between 9am-11am, which suited us, rather than others that have breakfast times too early. The hotel is well located within St Andrews, at the end of a shopping area. We used the metered parking down at the beachfront, which is only a 5 minute or so walk away. It cost about £5 (in total) to cover from our arrival on Friday afternoon, until we left on Sunday afternoon. We just had to pop down once to put more money in, which was no great hassle. An enjoyable visit to St Andrews.
