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.).

IrelandEverything was perfect..
Every little detail in that house has been tastefully taken care of, a five star hotel has NOTHING on Marion's B&B. The house is amazing, the breakfast was delicious and it was served in a little house that is straight up out of a movie. Really accommodating host and we loved that she let us play with the super cute family dog. Thank you Marion for an unforgettable B&B experience.

Big and cozy room in a beautiful house with a beautiful garden. Awesome breakfast served in a very nice garden house. Marion is very nice and helpful. Perfect position to visit Loch Lomond. The property is very quiet and peaceful. Really worth a stay!

United KingdomLovely quiet rural location with amazing views. Breakfast taken in the summer house, my full English was fantastic! Marion came to find me as my satnav took me to the wrong place which was very kind. The bath/shower is separate but toilet and sink ensuite. A good nights sleep and lovely people. The garden is also immaculate!

United KingdomWe found the property hard to find as the postcode and directions on Booking.com did not take us there. After asking a local, we arrived but we unsure it was the right place as it did not have the property name at the roadside (just B&B). The property name would have reassured us no end!
We were absolutely thrilled to find Balwill! Marion's hospitality was second to none. The most delicious breakfast in the summerhouse overlooking beautiful countryside really made our stay in Scotland!

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like!
The breakfast was one of the best we have had anywhere. The location is quite remote, hence the unspoilt views for miles. The gardens and summerhouse, where we had breakfast are amazing. Marion, the owner could not have been more welcoming. Would we stay there again? Without question. My wife loved it that much she didn't want to leave. We only booked for one night, but wished we could have stayed longer.

Marion is a lovely friendly lady who runs a beautiful guesthouse in a rural location off the beaten track. The Rob Roy breakfast and her home made porridge are delicious, served up in her wonderful summerhouse overlooking Ben Lomond and the Trossachs. Her home and garden are beautiful.
