How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

My only nitpick would to have more available via the tv, during my downtime I would have loved access to my Netflix or something on the television, but this was not an inconvenience to my experience of staying in this lovely property.
I was greeted very warmly by the property resident who gave a great tour and rundown of the formalities and answered any & all questions I had!

The bathroom was shared—but we knew that going in so that’s on us.
The host was lovely and she let us store our bicycles in her garage. It was close to the bicycle network so easy access to the greenway to Stirling the next day.

I booked very late in the evening (about 9 pm) the same day - and still got a very warm and kind welcome. The room was lovely and very comfortable. I loved it very much :-) A beautiful home and a great breakfast made me want to stay much longer. But best of all was the wonderful hostess! :-) Friendly, caring, nice and open to share great tipps which places to visit in Scotland. Thank you so very much for an amazing night and morning, hope to visit again! :-)

Honestly couldn't fault the host or the property
Almost an absolutely perfect stay, I'd cycled from Carlisle during the day, and had been looking for somewhere within a sensible budget, I had somewhere to securely stow the bike, was supplied with a spacious room, and the whole property was spotless, and the host(ess) warm and welcoming. Although not en-suite, there was a good supply of hot water in the shower, and I had the all important good night's sleep, leaving after a good breakfast (small extra charge), and ready for another day in the saddle!

As with this type of acommodation, you are at somebody's home, so there is a feeling like you are a guest of some distant relative you don't know. Hotels feel more private. But that applies to all B&Bs, not only this particular one. Our host was friendly and helpfull, no complaints about that. It's just that I'm not a B&B person.
It was a convenient location to stop on the way from North to Edinburgh. And the price was very good. Breakfast is no longer included in the price, so we ordered it additionally: scrambled eggs and toast was for 4 pounds and the same with bacon and sausage 5 pounds. Breakfast cereals would have been even cheaper. Everything was clean and neat. Friendly old dog. Upstairs there are 3 small rooms for guests with one common bathroom to share.

Everything is grest, and especially Debbie who is very funny and a very good hostess with the mostest! It's a very clean place and cosy and in a very nice, safe location quite close, maybe 15 mins from Queen Margaret train station in Dunfermline and a 7 minute walk to catch a bus into the centre of the city.
