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 KingdomMy room was on the same side as the road so some traffic noise. It wasn’t bad but I am not used to traffic noise at all. The reception on the tv was a bit sketchy but wasn’t an issue as I wasn’t in my room long enough to be watching it.
It’s an old property so a bit dated in parts but lovely and comfortable. Staff could not have given me a warmer welcome and were all pleasant, helpful and just lovely. Nothing was any trouble. My room had everything I needed and was warm and comfortable. Food is also to be recommended.

GermanyIt’s an absolute wonderful place to stay, with the best bed I’ve slept in in the last decades. The staff is welcoming and friendly and they do everything possible to make it a good stay. The food served in the restaurant is amazing as well. This place is definitely worth a visit. Right outside is a bus station, heading to Edinburgh takes you depending on the line between 50 and 70 minutes through a nice landscape for only 2£.

United KingdomAs we were going to a wedding I would have loved a bigger mirror in the room but maybe that was just our room as it was a small.
Really cosy, friendly hotel. The room we were in for breakfast was lovely looking out onto the garden. Our room was comfortable and was perfect for us.

United KingdomThe bedroom was rather cold but it was -5 outside so not surprising. Soon got warm as the bed quilts were fantastic.
We had a couple of very good meals in the restaurant and the breakfasts were enormous and varied. The location was very quite and rural with good access to Edinburgh.

United KingdomPerhaps more lights on lead to door that’s a small negative from me as I was leaving early in the morning when it was dark and arriving back when it was dark as a loan female.
The property was very clean and comfortable I had water/ tea/coffee/ biscuits in room each day. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of towels. Staff very friendly. The hotel was only 6 minutes from my venue.

United KingdomIt’s a very lovely stay! The house is only 45 mins away from Edinburgh centre so very convenient and also very quiet around. When we arrived, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We got some food from outside and although the kitchen was closed, she helped us heat it up and even put it on a nice tray and get us some ketchup :) We slept really well. The room felt very cosy like grandma home and had everything we needed. The price was amazing too. Would recommend it to everyone really!
