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.).

FranceWe arrived at Thistle House in the afternoon where the hostess greeted us with all the information we needed, a tour around the beautiful house and coffee in the lounge at the fireplace. We immediately felt very welcome and comfortable. The rooms are beautiful decorated, the beds are very comfortable and the view from the rooms are the best! Such an amazing scenery! Breakfast the next day was also very tasty and the two hostess' did their very best to make sure we had all we needed - and more! They even provided a birthday flag for our breakfast table since we were celebrating a birthday. We would all love to come back!

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is a beautiful old home that faces Loch Fyne with a view of Inveraray Castle across the water. The breakfast was delicious and the room was comfortable and well-furnished. There is a lovely parlor downstairs that guests can use. My husband and I sat and relaxed and read after a day of driving and navigation. The owner of the B&B is charming and friendly and even made us sandwiches for dinner when we said we were too tired to drive for dinner. This was the nicest B&B we stayed in during a two week trip to Scotland where all of our lodgings were good. This one was exceptional. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Our room had a Loch view where we witnessed beautiful sunsets. The bed was extremely comfortable and in room amenities were great, lovely fluffy towels, toiletries, excellent bedding and a seating area. The whole house has been decorated beautifully and to a high standard which feels very welcoming and is also extremely clean. The shared lounge is a huge bonus and is very comfortable with great views over the Loch which you also get from the breakfast room and terrace. Breakfast was lovely, good selection and high quality produce, excellent poached eggs! Our hosts Avril and Sue were both very friendly, nothing was too much trouble and made us feel very welcome. Thank you for having us and we look forward to returning. We would highly recommend staying here.
