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 KingdomThe keys were a bit fiddly for the room doors with the massive keyring on them, and unless you lock the door on the inside you can open them from the outside once you've unlocked it and in your room.
The room was gorgeous and cosy! Food and staff were both excellent. Loved the resident parrot Buddy too!

United KingdomFire alarm at 23:00, although not really the hotel's fault! The entrance via the parking at the back is a bit "odd", but not a problem at all, and it's good to have a dedicated parking.
Nice clean comfy room, good shower, nice warm swimming pool, good breakfast, good location to visit the region. Walking distance to facilities and good choice of restaurants in town, and to pretty Forfar Loch. Bonus points: real mugs for tea instead of the typical tiny cups in the room!

United KingdomThe central location of the hotel meant the street noise could be annoying. We booked a double room, expected the usual standard of basic room but we had nowhere to sit apart from the bed. There was a table in the corner with one stool not two - no chairs to relax in. We were the only couple eating meal in the restaurant that night which was a bit odd and no atmosphere as a result. Meal was average
Staff very welcoming and friendly. Spa facilities were clean, jacuzzi lovely and warm. Room was basic but clean. Hotel has a central location in the town which could be an advantage. Good breakfast, no hot food buffet, instead cooked to order which is our preference. Private off-street parking

United StatesDuring the week it is a quiet serene facility. I did not realize there is a nightclub near by that is rocking on Friday and Saturday nights until 2 am. It closes exactly at two and it is dead still.
The Hotel is centrally located. The staff were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and it was very clean.
