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 KingdomFor me it was perfect.
As I have stayed many times and am a lone traveller this suits me perfectly. Although I miss the breakfast I quite understand the reason's why. Hopefully it will return some day.

United KingdomReturning the key to the lock box on departure, proved too difficult. I had to re-enter the hotel and leave the key in the room door (as suggested in the hotel's joining email.
Room had a Velux skylight which looked out over the Forth. The location was very good. The lock box check-in worked really well.

AustraliaThe room was very small. Absolute minimum toiletries and amenities supplied - facilities not as described in this respect. Not great value for money - could have done better elsewhere in North Berwick.
It was clean and cosy on a cold, rainy night. Handy for the station and the town's shops and cafes.

Comfy bed, clean room. Little welcome treats Wee view from window

United KingdomFor price of 107 pound i thought a little more would have been offered, as when booking the room i thought breakfast would have been included, and as it said reception is closed due to staff shortage i thought that mabey a menu would have been given in too the room for a small breakfast mabey. We stayed in Bellshill at a lovley bnb room was a little bigger for 3quarters of that price with breakfast included. I understand that everywhere is going to be different but i expected just a bit more for the price. The code for the lockbox was wrong and i understand this was fixed straight away but these small things cause myself and my partner a bit of destress and anxiety thinking we may have been locked out and no one was about to help us. A more relaxed arrival would have been better for us after travelling from dundee, it was a long drive. There was an eggy smell coming from the bathroom at one point on the night we stayed. Just for a brief 5 minutes then it went away, was a bit unpleasant.
Room was warm, not too warm, just right, location was good, great shops and cafe s for breakfast, bed was very comfortable really good sleep,

United KingdomI was sure that I chose a room with a sea view, but ended up with the garden view instead (perhaps there is some disclaimer which states that a view isn’t guaranteed, and possibly my own fault for not reading the fine print.) The water pressure in the shower was disappointing, but I imagine that the plumbing system is quite old (I live in the U.K., own property here, and therefore accustomed to the problems of old plumbing which would be difficult to replace.) It would have been nice to have a mini-fridge in the room, given that breakfast was cancelled- but they wrote in advance they had a staff crisis the weekend we arrived (and therefore it wasn’t planned.)
The room and bathroom were clean, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is easy to find, and within a 10 minute walk of North Berwick station- all the locals seem to know it, which speaks to having a good reputation. It was very quiet for both nights, which was a busy weekend during the Festival period. The lone staffperson (or manager) on-site was friendly.

United Kingdommissed my breakfast but it was a great problem.
I was met by the lovely cleaning lady who just happened to be coming out of the hotel when I arrived. I explained this was my first time away without my husband who had just been taken into a care home. She kindly showed me how to work the key system as I was a bit nervous but she was great. And as luck would have it just as I was leaving she appeared to start her daily work and gave me such a lovely hug I was quite touched. People can be so kind.

United KingdomNothing, room was perfect for the price. Hotel in great location for the train station.
no breakfast available due to staff shortness but cost was refunded when we arrived, so were able to eat breakfast at one of the great cafe's nearby. The room was on the small side but perfectly adequate and spotlessly clean, I wished I checked to see if there was a hair drier available or I would have brought mine. Tunnocks tea cake sure did hit the spot on arrival.
