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.).

Fantastic location. Right in centre of Stonehaven Bay on a pedestrian footpath. ( Car access from a nearby lane) Spotlessly clean. Super comfy double bed. More than adequate breakfast and snack foods, including fruit, cereal, jams, pain au chocolate & fresh milk in the fridge. Even complementary small bottles of red & white wine

The hot water adjusted as hot water was only warm And also suggest a grab rail on left of toilet and a grab rail in the shower

United KingdomWe had no issues with owner or premise however we did experience problems either the info provided by Booking.com in that we had emails identifying two flats for our stay. We contacted David, the owner & thought matter was resolved. We moved into our room at 1:30 pm but when we returned at 9pm our Tom was occupied & we had to move. The new room was excellent but we were concerned that the system allowed this mix up to occur.
The continental breakfast was excellent. There was lots of fresh fruit, orange juice & choice of cereal & hot frinkd

United KingdomThe breakfast is not a traditional cooked breakfast as you would expect from a BnB but cereal, toast, yoghurt, and fruit that is left at the room so you can help yourself. Also the lock on the front door needs attention as it was tricky to lock.
My parents stayed at the Bayview for their visit to Stonehaven. They enjoyed it, especially the view.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing
We stayed for 2 nights at Bayview bed and breakfast to do a costal walk to Dunnottar Castle and Fowlsheugh and this was the absolutely perfect place to stay. Large room, super comfortable bed, great selection of breakfast options and in an excellent location. The host David was excellent and super helpful when we had a query about the heating and he came round immediately to sort it out. For anyone looking to stay in Stonehaven, I would 1000% recommend you stay here.

United KingdomThe bathroom situation although private was not 'en suite', it was through a glass door off the room which felt a little disconcerting even though I had exclusive access. The bathroom also had a sliding door which was heavy and stiff and very hard to manage. Also because of the nature of the town, parking is not available immediately beside the room and one must use the pay and display car park nearby, it's just annoying shuttling luggage to and fro in the rain.
The location of the room was great and the kitchen area was very generously stocked with breakfast items and wine.
