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 Kingdomwe hosted a lunch and the service and speed of the delivery of drinks to our table was not so good, so we hope next time things improve, as our food was first class and wine selection is brilliant, just top up the wine glasses and we would say everything is first class.
we just love the location, so peaceful and not to far from the city.

United KingdomMy only slightly negative observation is that they ought to invest in a couple of light fibre-fill duvets for guests with feather allergies. The blanket wrapped in a sheet is ok, but not particularly cosy.
Wonderful location, next to Arthur’s Seat, set in its own grounds. Top notch- and happy - staff. The decor may not be to everyone’s taste, but it has a coherent charm and is crammed full of antiques. Good quality afternoon tea.

United KingdomA slight negative was that despite the amount we paid to stay here, having advised the hotel that this was the first stop on our UK honeymoon, I thought they may have made a bit more of an effort. Even simply a bottle of Prosecco on arrival for example. The room was also a little bit warmer than we would have ideally liked, but given the age of the house and temperatures that day, I don’t think you could expect otherwise and it was acceptable.
The venue, grounds, room, staff, food and overall experience were excellent, as always.

CanadaOf course the price is such that we cannot consider returning until our next 25th anniversary...
Yes, the rooms and common spaces were lovely, and the food and drink fantastic. But what made this stay so special were the staff. They made us feel like they were happy to see us and even a bit sorry when we were leaving. The attention was truly warming.
