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 KingdomThis hotel exterior especially the car park and entrances let it down as do some of the finishes inside. It has great potential but as with many hotels across Scotland they need more regular investment
We liked our room and the catering was very good. The dinners were very tasty and fresh. Congratulations to the chefs for home made dishes

United KingdomIt seems that the hotel is in the process of being refurbished. The single room I was put in at first was depressing to be in, with petrol fumes, and cigarette fumes seeping into my room all night.(tbh, I was allocated a better room as soon as I spoke to staff)My friend also stayed in an equally depressing single room, however, as I said, there are better rooms. The food is average- best eat out or get a takeaway. Games facilities including the pool table badly need replacing, and updating.
Central location- easy to get to the ferry, period hotel. Friendly,and approachable staff. Friendly guests. Small hotel. Lovely garden. The rooms are cleaned daily.

SpainThere is a need to have 2 sittings for the evening meal when there is a large group of tourists in the hotel. 7p.m for the group 8p.m for other guests I entered at 7 o'clock and didn't have my first plate until 7:50 but the restaurant was full. The menu was not too exciting!!
I needed to relax and so I breakfasted much later... Brunch! The hotel was nice and quiet and I enjoyed my stay!

The breakfast was perfectly satisfactory. The hotel was very clean and had been painted recently. Some signs of faded grandeur but I quite like that,

United KingdomThe hotel is not suitable for someone using it for staying over for work. There was 2 coach parties from Yorkshire there and the entertainment went on to 11pm! Also, the room above me had very sqeaky floorboards, and the people staying in that room git up at 6am! So, I didn't have a good sleep
The room was a good size. The staff were helpful although a slight mix up about booking time

Great location on the promenade, back garden with seats and tables looks out on the beautiful West Bay, also a fabulous lounge and balcony area with the same outlook. Also a quarter of a mile from the start and finish of the Dunoon 10k which was ideal 😊

United KingdomBreakfast arrived within three minutes and was slightly dry so probably kept warm under heat. No toast given and didn't see it on menu but noticed some other guests had toast cleared away at end of their meal and there were condiments on the table.
