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 KingdomIt was a hot, sultry two night stay. The bedroom window opening could have been more generous. A rubbish observation on my part really.
Good hotel doing it's best to get back to normality after the decimation of COVID. The staff would be first to admit there's a way to go to achieve perfection but they're working hard at it.

United KingdomThe hotel's policy could be slightly better in terms of taking food and drink to the hotel for consumption. Take away food is frowned upon and should be eaten away from the premises, even a hot drink purchased out with the hotel and brought back to enjoy whilst sitting in the lovely gave cause for the hotel staff to warn off other guests.
There was a wide range of self service items available along with freshly cooked hot items from the kitchen.

United KingdomThe owner could hire a full time maintenance person as there is lots needing done !! A very wonderful site !! But so many easy to fix issues. unfortunately he is spending valuable time and effort policing petty imposed issues like don’t take a cup of tea on to the premise’s from sources outside !! if he had staff and resources to make this simple thing easier it would negate the need for such practice !!
location is fantastic grounds in a lovely little town with lots going for it !! spacious rooms very comfortable bed !!

United KingdomOther reviewers have complained about it needing updating, I think that's a bit unfair. It isn't super modern, but did have WiFi and everything we needed.
Lovely old building, very friendly staff, really comfortable bed. Haddington was a pretty little town. Good breakfast, staff happy to adapt it for Veggies.

PolandThe building is quite old, rooms are rather small and you can hear everything happening behind the wall. Bathroom could use some renovation.
The hotel is located in cute little town. It comes with free parking. Breakfast was really nice. It's a good alternative to overpriced accommodation that can be found in Edinburgh.

United KingdomThe kerb-appeal of the hotel was disappointing, being an old property in need of external repairs and a facelift. The owners are slowly working on improvements.
A good breakfast was available with help-yourself cereals, fruit juices, tea and coffee. A full cooked traditional choice was also provided along with toast, served to order.

United KingdomThe bathroom needed a refurbishment, the shower curtain was discoloured and was a bit smelly. The first impressions when you turn up the short drive are not good, we thought we had the wrong place, the exterior is very poor and the photos used to market the place must have been years ago! It all a good tidy up, as does the interiors, it could be an amazing hotel. So therefore did not feel is was worth the room rate we paid, I suspect that becuse this is the only hotel in Haddington which is well placed for all the golf courses in the area that people just pay it - but then you do think from the photos it is a lt better than it is
Location was great, the breakfast was OK, limited choice The staff were really good, super helpful and accommodating, we needed to have breakfast earlier and that was not an issue and I overhead another person saying she would miss it, so they offered to do a packed lunch instead the room was big and had recently been refurbished so everything was nice and new
