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.).

Beverley
United KingdomWould have preferred a separate shower in bathroom upstairs and think the 2 easy chairs in sitting room need reupholstering or replacing. No instructions for oven which kept switching off. However, none of these things would deter us from going again.
Clean, spacious accommodation in the centre of Kelso. Perfect for our party of 4 adults and one child aged 12. We all had comfy beds. The kitchen was well equipped with a large table we could all sit at so didn't use the dining room. Loved the coat hooks and boot rack in lobby which kept all our clutter at bay.

United KingdomI suppose if I was finding something not to like it would be the amount of stairs - but it was clear that there were stairs - and wasn’t a bother really to us.
It was so central and the views were just gorgeous! It was a great size too. And Louise the housekeeper was lovely!

United KingdomThis is purely relevant to our party, the stairs. My dad does not have great mobility, and whilst we were expecting stairs, the lack of hand rails made going down the stairs very difficult for my dad. This is the only negative for the property.
Location was perfect, property had everything you would need. There was plenty of space for us all and a kitchen you could easily cook a proper meal in.

United KingdomIt could do with a deep clean. (Not awful, so please don’t let this comment put anyone off booking!) The skirting boards were dusty and found tissues under the sofa. They could also do with an extra tea towel and more than one bin bag. We were self catering for a family of 9, so as you can imagine the dishwasher can only take so much, and so that one tea towel was extremely well used by the end of the weekend. The kitchen bin is very narrow and didn’t hold very much and didn’t appear to be any recycling facilities, so we did what we could and took to the local recycling bank at Sainsburys. It may be helpful to add some information about recycling in the information booklet? All in all, these are very minor things and we managed perfectly well with everything provided.
Lovely property in an excellent location. Kelso has everything you could need and is perfect for exploring the Borders. Plenty of room for all our family to be together. Host was really nice and left a bottle of wine and a card upon arrival. Beds were comfortable and the layout had been very well thought out.

United KingdomMy father was with us, he's 86 so the stairs were challenging for him as there's no banister at the inside stairs up to the sitting area, kitchen etc. The bed in the master bedroom perhaps needs adjusting as the spars underneath kept moving.
The location was great, near to all amenities, great walks by the riverside too. The accommodation was very spacious, so much room for everyone, lovely and bright too, plenty light gets in through numerous windows. Window shutters add to the traditional features of this beautiful flat. It's very clean, comfortable and has a lovely big fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave etc. Local pubs are great and the people of Kelso are friendly and hospitable.

United KingdomI think a handrail on the stairs would be good and perhaps some upgrading of the living room furniture.
Fantastic location in a pretty Borders town Lovely rooms. Good base for visiting Borders attractions, especially Floors Castle and Traquair House. Would recommend the Cobbles Restaurant. Welcome bottle of wine, chocolates and fresh flowers were a nice touch.

United KingdomThere were some things I would expect from a property of this standard that were not supplied - a cafetiere for making fresh coffee, sufficient supply of tea towels (only 1 supplied), a mixer tap or shower head in the 2nd bathroom. It would be better to make it clear that the courtyard area cannot be used to sit outside and it would enhance the property to have clean windows.
A lovely spacious property, with very comfortable beds, freshly decorated and a lot of the facilities in the property were to a very high standard, which was great! It is in a great location.
