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 KingdomThe Inn seemed to be short-staffed, but this is almost certainly down to the general current difficulty in finding staff in the hospitality industry. Also, our room was a bit 'tired', but greatly suffered from strong background noise which we think was from the boiler or air-conditing room, but not sure. Mercifully, it shut down mid-evening, so we were able to sleep!
Staff were welcoming, helpful, with a wonderful attitude in providing as good a service as possible, and full of smiles and banter, despite clearly working flat-out. Dinner in the restuarant and breakfast were good.

United KingdomSadly it wasn't very sound proof. Everytime someone passed the room door we had lots of noise and creaking sounds. Thought someone was trying to enter our room first time we heard it. They had live music on Friday which was great but if you wanted to sleep it would not have been great as it was rather loud in the room.
The location was perfect. The room was very comfortable. Espresso machine was a nice touch. The bathroom is enormous.

United KingdomWe had booked and paid for breakfast only to be told afterwards that hotel didn’t serve breakfast until 8am. We (like others in the hotel) were attending the Kiltwalk and had to leave before 8. Hotel staff made no effort whatsoever to provide even toast and tea before we left. Neither was there an offer to discuss the fact we had paid for breakfast. The Glasgow Kiltwalk is an annual event, so they should have been prepared to offer some form of breakfast.
Traditional look from outside was attractive. The rooms were good and comfortable. The location was good.

United KingdomThe breakfast start time , just for this one day , should have been earlier. As the bus that transfers walkers to the start at Glasgow Green or Cumbernauld leaves at 0815 prompt and it’s a 10 minute walk from the Hotel. Breakfast needs to be from 6am and food geared towards a walkers diet. Not a lot to ask for as this could be arranged at the time you book the hotel.
The atmosphere was brilliant. “ All “ of the staff, and there were many this Kiltwalk w/e we’re really friendly. Especially our slim tall chap ( sorry memory fade ) who was so welcoming and daft , and the wee Lass ( server ) who was exceptional. Well done all of you, as after my 14 mile walk I was allowed to use a guest room to shower and change clothes in. Thanks house - keeping 🫂. There is no reason that we wouldn’t go back there next year to do the 23 mile and my partner ( Lui ) do the 3 mile. See you next year folks. PS: the beer garden holds 250 revellers and it was rammed !!!.
