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.).

Everything! The Rooms were cozy, spacious, and comfortable, the location was perfect, and the host was amazing! Breakfast was also phenomenal! My brother and sister-in-law stayed here for a two-day portion of our Scottish adventures, and we agreed after that this was our favorite stay!

NetherlandsBalmridge House is run by a lovely couple Jane and Jim. Upon arrival we entered a very cosy and homey B&B with a very nice view of the sheep. There is a lot tender & love and care added to all small details in the room. Cooked Breakfast is wonderful and the coffee is delicious. Jane will patiently explain you all the routes and is a wonderful and open person. Thank you for making us feel at home and keep the passion! Warmest regards Julian& Karen

United KingdomThe shower pressure was a bit weak.
Gorgeous guest house beautifully decorated with attention to detail in my room. The miniature decanter of sherry to the homemade cake made this a most enjoyable stay. Jane and James were attentive personable and professional. Nothing was too much. In fact I felt guilty that I couldn't request anything as all my needs were catered for.

This facility was built to be a B&B; thus, it is well-laid out and very efficient. Jane, our host, is super nice and accommodating. A walking trail is nearby, also a convenient restaurant only a short walk away. The breakfasts were outstanding. We were invited to share in an anniversary party (62 years married) while there.

NetherlandsThe breakfast was not quite what we had expected. Lots of fruits, but it was a bit smaller than we are used to, so we went for eggs somewhere else. Also the shower is so small that soaping up is a bit of a challenge.
Very nice and quiet room, with a very soft bed and matching blanket. As the location is just a little away from the main road, also no traffic noises. Clearly decorated with care for detail leading to many positive surprises when roaming through the room. Also good wifi.

United KingdomIt was a shame we had single beds as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary but Jane bought us a card and bottle of bubbly which was a lovely touch and I believe all rooms had flowers in them which was lovely. Sadly it was the only room available when we booked.
Jane is the perfect host; very friendly, informative and accommodating. Quiet but beautiful surroundings, we had lovely walks, boat trip on Loch Ness, visited the exhibition centre and local castle plus had tea and petted the local Coos. Loch Ness Inn, recommended by Jane had lovely food too. A treat couple of nights, well worthwhile visiting.

NetherlandsWe loved our stay here! The room is nice, clean and the beds were the most comfortable of our 2-week trip. But what really stands out is the friendly host that makes you feel very welcome as soon as you arrive. The hospitality and warmth is very noticeable, we even got a little snack for our evening tea waiting for us in the room. The location just outside of the village is perfect for day trips while still being quiet. Views from the breakfast room are stunning.
