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 KingdomMaybe a bigger bathroom would be nice, but the one we had was perfectly adequate and the electric shower was ok. Nothing else not to like.
Room (I think it was 14?) was nice, although tv perhaps a bit small by modern standards. Good lighting for reading in bed - thankyou! Public rooms and front gardens very nice; the website showed more extensive grounds behind the hotel, but we had an evening commitment and a fairly early departure, so didn't get to look! Breakfast was fine and nicely served at table by friendly staff. Haddington is a nice small town with clearly a lot of history around the town and general region. I would like to come back to this area at some point, and this feels like a good base.

United KingdomPathway and kerb appeal a bit off putting, picture on website did not reflect what we were expecting. Building was a little tired looking, to be honest, but it was not the best time of year to be visiting anywhere. (happy enough once inside and settled) Bathroom was very cold, especially tiled floor, small wall heater helped a little.
Manager and staff very friendly and helpful, absolutely nothing a problem! Bedroom cosy and clean. Breakfast included in price, plenty on offer. Meal in restaurant - had starter and sweet - both delicious! Walking distance to town and nice riverside walk. Booked this hotel to attend an event which was being held in one of hotel function rooms.

United KingdomIt’s a wee bit dated, but I think the owner is dealing with it and some renovations were apparent.
Went with my daughter for a revisit to Haddington. Used to live there years ago. So we know the area and other pubs and restaurants really well. Didn’t eat here other than breakfast, but the breakfast was lovely. The room we had was lovely and comfortable. Big room. Lovely bathroom, lovely bedding and towels. Hotel was quiet being February, but the welcome was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff there and we are going to come back again with friends for our next trip.

United KingdomBreakfast was very limited - apart from the usual Scottish breakfast, the only highlight was the porridge which was excellent. There seemed not to be any fresh fruit. The bathroom was very small, absolutely freezing and the wall heater did not work. We seemed to be relegated to the farthest end of a wing of the building on both nights that we stayed there (3rd & 5th November ), but I suspect this was because we asked for single beds. The shower floor on our second visit was very slippery : when we asked the owner he told us that non-slip mats were available, but in a cupboard because if people used them they got slippery underneath and difficult to clean!
The location was ideal for us and we have in fact used the hotel before for meals when heading North to South. Parking is never a problem and the town's Main Street is only two minutes away, but it is very quiet there.

The location for me was spot on, and the staff were very helpful and friendly .The room was big enough and had all the usual stuff that you would expect. Breakfast was really filling,made fresh, and whatever combination you wanted as well as tea/coffee, cereals, etc . Close to a town so you can eat out if needed too, although the hotel does have a restaurant
