Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing - even the weather was good!!!
The house was really cosy but spacious - it had absolutely everything we needed and was a brilliant location for surrounding areas. The house itself was an easy short walk to a coop shop, pub, various cute shops selling local wares and of course the harbour. Keys were collected from a lock box and the hosts checked in that all was well - which it was. I’d definitely recommend the gables

United KingdomHouse needs work. The windows are rotten. The blind in upstairs velux is stuck. Can't open it. Blind in downstairs bedroom only opens half way up making the room very dark. There was no bath mat, making it very slippery taking a shower. A beautiful house but it definitely needs some TLC
Very central, close to shops, beach and great area. The house was comfortable and homely.

United KingdomMy only negatives shouldn't reflect on the location itself as they are all things I knew before travelling, so it seems a bit picky and trivial to even mention them but... 1. Outside Space, nowhere to have a little BBQ should the weather be kind 2. No private parking, that said there is loads of parking available so this shouldn't be an issue, you may want to unload then move to a longer term parking spot. 3. The lack of a downstairs toilet, or more specifically the lack of a second toilet/bathroom. It wasn't a major problem for us, but I could see it being one for a family where one or two like to hog the bathroom.
Everything really, the location was perfect, a small walk to the beach, the bakers, the butchers, the greengrocers the Co-Op and two pubs, a pub / Italian restaurant was also within walking distance, and an amazing chip shop was almost next door. So everything you need within easy access. The house itself was lovely, well kept, full of character and very well stocked for our stay. All appliances, heating and electricity etc worked great and the bathroom was sizeable with a decent shower.

United KingdomIt’s a lovely place with views (at least from the upper bedrooms over the Forth. I was there in order to go to events at the East Neuk Festival and it’s very close to the main venue and a short bike ride to events in Kilrenny and Anstruther. I would highly recommend The Gables to anyone thinking about a holiday in Crail.

Great location, accommodation was clean and very homely. Well stocked and very comfortable for our stay. Chocolate, milk and wine was a nice touch after a long trip. Would definitely book again if we were in the area. Liked the Christmas decorations. Crail is a lovely village with good bus routes for exploring without taking the car, great for coastal walks and close to St Andrews. Check in and out was easy with key safe.
