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 stairs were quite narrow towards the top of the building.
The view was amazing. With the clock tower chiming on the hour. A very active local life. Even in the early mornings. The appartment was lovely.

United KingdomNothing not to like. Great stay
Great little flat above a great pub. Ceilings are a little low and bumped my head a few times so you need to remember. But a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomThe heating doesn't have a room stat?, we were warm at night, next time we will turn off all the radiators.The micropub noise outside went on until late, next time we will join them 😁.
The location was central and easy access to everything locally by foot. The apartment was perfect for us, great communication and went like clockwork. There is a micropub underneath the apartment and we went to bed early ( smokers outside are giggly at this time) but nothing to be concerned about. The apartment had everything we needed. Thanks and see you again soon hopefully 👍

United Kingdomthe windows had not been cleaned on the outside and could not be opened because they are old. this was only a problem because we couldn't take clear pictures from our room that looked towards the Kelso abbey
we were overlooking the square that had a farmer's market on Saturday. we watched them set up the stalls and went to have a look. we were able to buy fresh local butter, bread, and homemade jam. there were also beautiful chees and fresh butcher products. the apartment has a fridge and a cooker so it was all very good.

United KingdomNot so much a dislike as an fyi that it looked liked single-glazed sash windows so it was a bit cold but two excellent radiators did their job.
Really nice little apartment - pleasant, clean and well appointed with a few basics provided. Right by shops, a bar and a few minutes drive to a major supermarket. Brilliant communication throughout the booking, very smooth key access, and customer service allowing me to leave just a touch later so I could finish a work call. Good parking too (although much busier in the daytime).

United KingdomDid not like stairs used to get up to the flat as it was a bit awkward to get all our bags and stuff up. But I do understand that is part of the building, so there is nothing that can be done to improve them.
Excellent location and very clean.
