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 KingdomInstructions provided in the booking information on how to the access the property by car are poor. Sat Nav directions with the postcode lead to a narrow one way street which you then have to reverse out from onto the main street. Parking information is only provided inside the property. You then discover that parking is available on side streets but not outside or close to the property, which once you are aware of is not a problem. We enjoyed the property but disappointed by poor cleanliness which was a surprise for accommodation of this standard and price. The inside of toilet required cleaning on arrival, which is not what you want at all. The tiled floors looked like they had not been cleaned especially in the bathroom, and the microwave oven had pastry flakes inside.
Excellent location with view direct onto prom and beach. Good selection of of pe-provided continental breakfast items. Modern and well furnished, and quite a pleasant different experience for B&B.

United KingdomBeing on the ground level we didn’t consider just how many people walked past on the foot path or how many people exercised their dogs many of whom had them on the grass right in front of where we were eating at our table and even a couple pit their paws on the steps up! We are dog lovers but some people might not be!

Breakfast provisions were more than adequate for our 2 night stay and conveniently located. As we were in the courtyard room, parking was required to be elsewhere some streets away.

The room had everything we could need. We could eat breakfast at time best suited for us. After the first breakfast, David asked us what we would like for him to replenish and if we have any special requests, which he then provided for us. The room was very clean. The cuttlery and plates where cleaned after we used them.

United KingdomThere is not much to dislike. The bed is a double, which is comfy but used to a bigger bed at home.
The room is perfectly located for a lovely and relaxing stay. The sea view is amazing and you can hear the waves crashing from the room as well as sit out on the terrace to admire the view.

United StatesThis small but comfortable apartment is located right on the beach in Stonehaven and there could be no better location. The rooms and outside area were perfectly clean. We were in town during the folk music festival and the music was everywhere. One great advantage of this particular unit is that there are no stairs so it was easy for me to get in and out even though my walking is impaired, some of the other apartments have stairs. There is a fridge in the room with orange juice, milk and good food items to have for breakfast so you have ultimate flexibility in the morning. They wash all dishes each day so there are no chores at all. I love the beach in Stonehaven and we could walk each evening along the boardwalk along the beach and harbour. I will stay here again when I am in Stonehaven.

United KingdomThe only downside was the outside area wasn't as good as the photos that were advertised. Apart from that it was good enough.
It had a lovely Seaview with it's own balcony and door to the property with few stairs that lead to the beachfront. It came with array of breakfast for you to choose so that you could eat your breakfast on the balcony in the morning it also came with teas and coffees sugar and biscuits.It was well worth the money for a relaxing Seaview.
