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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomBreakfast was, at best, average. Microwaved porridge, cooked breakfast using supermarket frozen items. Restaurant wasn’t open. Room was basically clean, but only just. Cost for a very small room of average quality was too much.
Location was handy.

United KingdomI visited with my son on a short cycle trip. I loved the location on the harbour-front of this lovely Scottish town. The room was small and simple but excellent for us. I thought that the accommodation combined with the included breakfast was very good value indeed. The staff were very friendly, the owner very hands-on but unobtrusive. When I checked in the lady asked if it was just for the one night and I immediately wished it was for more. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe room was above a live band and the smoking area. The music was so loud we couldn’t even relax let alone sleep. The smell of cigarettes was disgusting. We wanted breakfast at 7.30 and were told this was impossible.
It’s a pretty town with a lovely harbour near the Kennacraig ferry.

United KingdomDidn't expect the shared bathroom rooms to have one bathroom between four bedrooms. For this service I would expect to pay a much lower fee than what we paid. All the doors are really noisy and could do with some WD40. The room we stayed in also was right next to the toilet and every time it was flushed, it's as if we were in the room. Also to point out the bedside lights did not work.
Pub downstairs seemed cheery and friendly staff. Easy parking. Nice view.

NorwayOnly thing was that it can get a little warm in the upper floor rooms - a couple of extra portable fans for the summer evenings would do the trick :)

Lovely place, shame they didn’t serve food other than breakfast. The lady was selling the hotel though so maybe in the future. The breakfast was lovely and the bar area was lovely. Would stay again. Thank you Mhairi
