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.).

GermanySome noise from the traffic on road in front of the house during the day, little at night. At the time we visited there were hardly any restaurants open in Rothsey where we could eat but a good selection of carry-outs.
Great location looking over the bay to the mainland. Our room was at the front so we could enjoy the view and in addition you can sit outside in front of the house and watch the ferry come and go, and eat you carry-out. Excellent vegan fried breakfast. Very comfortable. Fairly close to the centre if town and the shops.

United KingdomThis B&B offers great value for money situated right on the sea front in the heart of Rothesay. Lorna made us feel welcome right from us arriving and gave us loads of information about places of interest to visit, how to hire bikes if we wanted, places to eat and much more which was very helpful. The cooked breakfasts were enormous and set us up for the day not needing to have any lunch, however i'm sure if you wanted a smaller one or just a sandwich she would of been happy to do that, fruit and cereals were also on offer. We had room number 1 which was big and had everything you needed, also a seating area looking over the sea which we enjoyed. Outside at the front was also a patio area with seating, we were lucky enough to have amazing sunny weather so enjoyed sitting here having a drink or 2 in the vening before going out for dinner and afterwards when we got back. I can honestly say we would not stay anywhere else if we come back to Rothesay and reccomend anyone to stay here.

United KingdomBreakfast was very hearty with a great variety of puddings (I.e. black, white, fruit) as well as all the traditional elements of a Scottish breakfast. I would have preferred to have a greater variety of fresh fruit (summer/soft fruits) and yogurt, as well as homemade muesli and local crusty bread and maybe some local honey and marmalade. Location was fabulous, overlooking Rothesay Bay - perfect for early morning swims and watching the ferries from the mainland coming and going from the bedroom or the terrace. Easy walking distance from all amenities. Bedroom was very spacious and comfortable. Landlady, Lorna, was a perfect hostess - very welcoming and friendly and great at recommending local places of interest. Thank you!!!
