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 KingdomFor us, there was nothing we didn't like.
This was our second visit to Castle Nook, and once again we could find no fault with the property. It is handy for the centre of Kelso, there is parking close by, the property was clean and well looked after.

United KingdomThe only issue we had was with the front door, which is very stiff and needed a good shoulder barge to get in. I would expect this would be difficult for any elderly or frail visitors.
The flat is really spacious, more than enough space for three of us with a room each. Double rooms, two of which are really big spaces (ideal for my colleague who likes to do yoga every morning). The living room was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Comfy beds, nice hot shower. In a great location, with handy parking just near to the property. We will definitely return if the flat is still available next year.

United KingdomHaven't got any negatives!
An excellent stay in wonderful accommodation. Received detailed information before arriving regarding location, parking etc. A cot bed and highchair were fully set up for us on arrival. The apartment has been decorated to a stunning standard. We all ended up saying at some point how we would love to live somewhere like this! We wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are in the area in the future. A truly lovely apartment and fantastic hosts.

United KingdomBe aware that to get to the lovely upstairs bedroom is via a slightly scary staircase for anyone with mobility challenges or fear of spiral stairs. But it’s got its own bathroom for those who can.
Utterly beautiful and amazingly equipped - kitchen had dishwasher, we even found baking paper! Exquisitely decorated and super clean. Comfortable and extra heater in lounge for those like me who feel the cold. And excellent shower. We’d definitely return as a base for exploring borders and beyond.

United KingdomOnly thing I would mention is the stairs to the upstairs/loft bedroom are quite steep and theres no door at the top. It didn't impact us at all as youngest is 5 but may not be suitable for toddlers.
Brilliant place to stay. Went with family for my partners birthday and it had everything we needed. Really clean and comfortable and everything was within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe stairs to the top bed room were quite tricky and slippery (in sock) but bare feet were fine. Would be useful to have a mirror in the top bed room other than the bathroom mirror to allow someone to use straignters without having to go down stairs to use a mirror down there. Very minor and more of a preference.
It was spacious, clean and perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) and great location to the town.
