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 property is located on a housing estate and even with double glazing was a little noisy.
The breakfast was a nice bonus given that the price was already great value. It was plentiful and warm and delivered to our bedroom door as arranged. The bed was comfy and the shower was great with plenty of hot water. Ian was kind and most helpful. The location was just off the A1 and easy to find. Would certainly book again.

United KingdomThere was a security keypad but it wasn’t working so I had to knock the front door every time I wanted in and going out the door stuck - so had to get someone to open it for me to get out! The room wasn’t en-suite though I had a well equipped bathroom (but the shower wasn’t great) all to myself. However I had to go out of my room to use it.
Location - I was visiting my family who live close by. It is a bit of a walk in to Dunbar High Street (20-30 mins) unless u know the shortcut which takes approximately 15-20).

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have breakfast in a different room where we might have met our fellow guests. The parking needs to be better managed - on our second night two carelessly parked vehicles were taking up all four spaces so we had to park on the street.
It was odd being confined to one room for sleeping and breakfast, but the room was well-equipped and comfortable, and the breakfast was quite adequate (although there was no cooked-breakfast option). For the price what was provided was certainly good enough, and the location was perfect for our particular needs.

United KingdomRoom was cold at night, (but so was the weather), no key to lock room door from outside and front door not locked so didnt feel overly secure as room had to be left unlocked when you keft tbe room.. The, bathroom was not ensuite but is a private bathroom to use. Room could do with a deep clean, top corners and headboard especially..
Property would be better descibed as an air BnB as it is also the hosts home. It is inexpensive, Easy access, easy parking, local pub, comfortable bed. Continental breakfast looked nice which is left outside room, this is eaten in the room, there is no breakfast room. host chapped the door to let us know it was there. We only used the accommodation to sleep in, so for price paid was fine. I have mentioned a few bits I wasn't so keen on below. The heading what you didn't like is a bit harsh. What I would say is points I wasn't keen on rather than didn't like.

United KingdomFirst visit so with it being dark, just a tad difficult to identify which house it was- a larger number visible from the road, or a B&B sign would be helpful. :)
Very comfortable bed, en-suite facilities fine, plenty of sockets for laptops and mobiles.
